A Detroit judge has been sidelined for ordering a teenager into jail clothes and handcuffs while she was on a field trip to his courtroom.

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.

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

    The teen was seeing King’s court as part of a visit organized by The Greening of Detroit, an environmental group.

    Uh… so this child is almost homeless and is donating their time to help the community. Clearly this judge is very bad at judging people.
