Because I am not arguing with a child. The chaperone should have handled the situation initially before it escalated. Other students lost the opportunity to experience and learn from the field trip.

The Judge could’ve instructed / directed the teacher / chaperone to have the student removed from his courtroom. Instead, he decided to make an EXAMPLE of her & it BACKFIRED.

[@nancismith7705]

She was forced to be stripped search, put in a prison jumpsuit, and put in handcuffs. She was homeless and fell asleep twice in the courtroom when no trial was being held. A 15 year old homeless girl was treated like a criminal for falling asleep! What would you do if this was your daughter?

When a power monger goes too far, part of his punishment, in addition to a financial award, would be for another judge to treat him the same way he treated a 15 yo girl for falling asleep in his precious courtroom. The EXACT WAY he treated Eva. Then booted from his precious bench, permanently. What law makes falling asleep a crime? Who got hurt? He, the "judge," has a huge nasty ego tainted with racism.

He did. But the girl caused more trouble. There are simple rules for a reason. Courts have rules whether they are formally in session or not. The mom did great damage to the child by supporting her in feeling entitled and above the rules. At some point this will backfire. The girl encouraged to be above the rules will, at some point push some person or rule too far and end in tragedy. No wonder mental health problems are skyrocketing and the country is divided and experiencing increased crime. Encouraging behaviors like this are a loss for society and for the girl herself.

That judge had the nerve to contact the girl's mother and offer to mentor her daughter. That's how you know nobody was getting through to him. He wasn't listening. I think this will get his attention and make him realize he did something wrong.

Ironically (unironically is more accurate) I'm not convinced that this will. This judge has a deep lack of empathy and understanding.

In what way is it telling because like he said there was zero reason for him to do what was done to that child. That’s the problem with people who think as you do. There are actual criminals who did something to warrant their treatment when comes to being placed in handcuffs. Nothing that child did applied to her treatment by that egotistical little man of a judge.
