A Detroit judge who ordered a teenager into jail clothes and handcuffs on a field trip to his courtroom will be off the bench while undergoing "necessary training," the court's chief judge said Thursday.

 

Meanwhile, the girl's mother said Judge Kenneth King was a "big bully."

 

"My daughter is hurt. She is feeling scared," Latoreya Till told the Detroit Free Press.

She identified her daughter as Eva Goodman. The 15-year-old fell asleep in King's court Tuesday while on a visit organized by a Detroit nonprofit.

Till said her daughter was sleepy during the court visit because the family doesn't have a permanent residence.

 

"And so, that particular night, we got in kind of late," she told the Free Press, referring to Monday night. "And usually, when she goes to work, she's up and planting trees or being active."

absolutely insane how the system instills fear into young brains then pretends to be shocked when they fail to be "functioning members of society" as adults

Every now and then you read a story about someone in power and it really makes you realize that we should bring back guillotines and make them a public spectacle again. It would be a great tool in humbling members in positions of power.
