   MARICOPA COUNTY, Ariz. — A Thunderbird High School math teacher   
   and his girlfriend were arrested on Thursday for two counts of   
   child abuse against children in their family.   
      
   Mikal Wescott was arrested at the high school and his   
   girlfriend, Nicole Benson, was arrested at their residence after   
   an incident on Saturday where they allegedly beat two young   
   family members with a belt as a punishment, police said.   
      
   Police records indicate that Wescott has a prior history of   
   domestic violence incidents with an increase in frequency and   
   intensity.   
      
   Benson admitted in interviews that the "spanking" punishment has   
   happened on several occasions as she holds down the victims and   
   Wescott does the "spanking," police said.   
      
   Following the incident, the victims were told to sleep on the   
   tile floors in the home. One was given a blanket and pillow, the   
   other was given nothing due to her resistance during the   
   punishment, police said.   
      
   During a medical examination, significant bruising was found on   
   both victims. Wescott said that "he didn't think it leaves any   
   marks...due to them not crying very long," police said.   
      
   Benson claims the punishment toward the victims took place   
   because they were using TikTok on a cell phone at the suspects'   
   home.   
      
   Wescott's court hearing will take place on Nov. 16. The abuse   
   was not related to students at the school he worked at,   
   according to court documents.
