A 15-year-old student in Detroit was struggling. She just couldn’t keep her eyes open on a field trip with her classmates to a district courtroom. It’s a common occurrence: teens with too many responsibilities and often intense academic and social pressure simply can’t get enough rest. She started the day off already exhausted, and couldn’t hide it during her field trip.
But Judge Kenneth King didn’t see a teen overwhelmed with pressures and burdens when he saw her. He saw a “disposition that disturbed me.” So, did he try to work with her teachers to get her more resources?
Nope. He ordered her to be placed in handcuffs, forced her to remove her regular clothing and wear actual jail clothes instead, and threatened to throw her in juvenile detention. He said: “I wanted this to look and feel very real to her.” All because she was tired.
Please sign this petition to demand that Judge Kenneth King be disbarred immediately!
