Laredo parents are suing United Independent School District for $50 million, alleging their autistic twin sons were mistreated and neglected at United High School, including being kept in a room with no access to necessities and being denied education. The lawsuit claims the boys were isolated, physically restrained, and deprived of communication devices and proper care, with the nonverbal twin allegedly kept in a sensory room without bathroom access or instruction. The case involves UISD Superintendent Gerardo Cruz, who is related to the plaintiffs, and highlights a significant decline in the twins' educational and developmental progress after transitioning to high school.
