DETROIT (AP) 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 courts chief judge said Thursday.

Meanwhile, the girls 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 Kings court Tuesday while on a visit organized by a Detroit nonprofit.

King didnt like it. But he said it was her attitude that led to the jail clothes, handcuffs and stern words.

I wanted this to look and feel very real to her, even though theres probably no real chance of me putting her in jail, he explained to WXYZ-TV.
