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.

King will continue to be paid.

This is not punishment in any way, shape, or form.

Hopefully they'll get enough to get a more permanent housing situation

Assuming they can afford the suit in the first place.

The cynic in me says "Yeah, but if he'd been a white judge..."

He would have been allowed to change her himself.

This country makes me want to scream.

King told WXYZ that he spoke to the girl’s parents and offered to be a mentor.

An eggshell ego goes on a massive power trip.
