Detroit Judge has kid on a field trip handcuffed, threatens jail, over falling asleep

That isnt the case here upon deeper reading. Read the article i posted. Nowhere does she show attitude. He blames it on perceived "body language".

Regardless a judge cuffing someone (a child) without any legal right is a crime. Period. Full stop. If a person came into my office and I did that, I would be arrested. Court was not in session. He was not in his robe according to one account.

Also apparently the girl has no bed to sleep in and this was an hours long event.

The judge is a jerk.

 

Read the article. What did the kid do?
What legal right did a JUDGE have to do what he did?

Every legal professional i have seen has said the judge was wrong.

He will likely face formal discipline.

 

Detroit judge taken off docket after handcuffing teen who fell asleep in his courtroom during field trip – NBC10 Philadelphia

A Detroit judge has been removed from the docket days after he placed a 15-year-old girl in handcuffs after she fell asleep in his courtroom during a summer field trip.

Robar said that if the judge was unhappy with the conduct of the minors in the courtroom, he should have simply asked them to leave.


Following "a swift and thorough internal investigation," King was removed from his docket and will "undergo the necessary training to address the underlying issues that contributed to this incident," Chief Judge William McConico said in a statement Thursday.

She said her daughter was so tired Tuesday because the pair have been jumping between housing and had gotten to the place where they were staying late the night before.
