A federal judge has a 13-year-old girl handcuffed and questioned in court even though she did nothing wrong.
Now, Judge Roger Benitez's actions are being questioned.
The court filing says during the hearing, Puente expressed a desire to"leave San Diego because to separate himself from negative peers and get a start fresh."Everywhere and anywhere I turn, I know somebody." According to the court filing, which quotes transcripts from the original hearing, Benitez released the girl but did not allow her to return to her seat immediately.
"According to testimony from the Government Accountability Office , children can be 'severely traumatized' by the use of handcuffs even when"no physical injury is sustained," the filing stated. Court records show after that hearing, Chief Judge Dana Sabra, transferred Puente's case to another U.S. district court judge.
