A group of mothers who have lost custody of their children in Elkhart County are accusing the judge and the "Guardian Ad Litem" (GAL) of corruption.
Ashley Franklin says GAL Mary Raatz had provided Judge David Bonfiglio misleading reports, which played a major role in his decision.
She lost custody of her son.
Another mother, Ashley Persley, accuses Raatz of giving custody to the baby's father, Trey O'Brien, who was charged in 2018 with sexual misconduct with a minor.
Emerson Earhart was motivated by her own situation and educated herself on the role of Guardian Ad Litem.
Earhart attends and observes what is taking place in the Elkhart Courtrooms and says the system currently in place needs to be reevaluated.
"They can act with impunity without any sort of oversight," she says.
She is now an advocate for change.
There is an organized effort by over 200 people who have signed a petition to have Raatz removed from her position in the county.

Been saying this for a long time. About time local media gets involved.

As one of the 3 children of my mother, Ashley Franklin, I cannot begin to fathom how disgusting it was to see my brother taken away right in front of me, my siblings, and my mom; I'll never forget the day when me and my family were in court when Mary stated, "your three other children aren't involved with the situation" along with judge Bonfiglio taking my mother's custody of my baby brother. The fact that this affects other mothers and fathers is baffling yet oddly reassuring that we aren't alone in this situation. I truly hope Bonfiglio, Mary, and the whole corrupted cultist-esque circle that is the Elkhart family court system gets what's coming to them.

My daughter is Ashley Franklin and she is the best mother to all four of her children. What they have done to her, her four children is absolutely disgusting. They should all be put in jail and removed from their positions of authority immediately for their wrong doings to thousands and thousands of families.

I couldn’t agree with you more. The fact that a person is given such power and grossly abuses it like this, is terrifying. I’m infuriated that baby Brent was ripped from his loving momma and siblings, like he was.

This will be unpopular but often the truth is. When anyone disregards court orders and blatantly refuses to follow them, consequences will be had. When court officers see that one parent jumps through all the hoops while the other acts out of self entitlement, seeing themselves above the law, consequences will be had. Children do not need to be raised by parents who feel the rules and laws don't apply to them. When ANY parent refuses to return the child to the custodial parent, there will most likely be charges pressed. When mental illness is present, especially in regards to certain personality disorders, safeguards for the childrens' healthy development must be enforced. When a parent is charged with domestic violence in front of children and a PPO is in place and that parent violates the PPO, consequences will be had.When a parent has multiple charges of DUIs with the children being present, or drug possession with the children being present in the vehicle, consequences will be had. Many of the parents of this movement dont want this type of information to be known as they are merely self victimizing. If half of these parents were investigated even by a civilian, this movement would crumble just due to impeachment of testimony. Kevin should have done a tad bit more homework on this.

This personally happened to me as well in 2019 I haven’t been able to see my daughters. After being married and having them for over ten years everyday. I got a divorce and my ex took it personally and lied in court to say I was unfit. It was all false allegations that were never looked into. I wasted over 30,000$ in lawyer fees. For my rights to be violated. Mary and the judge do whatever they want with no repercussions or consequences. He made me represent myself so I had no defense & when I told him I have retained an attorney but she was busy that day and needed to reschedule. He didn’t care and proceeded to to legally take advantage me in court. I’m glad someone is finally stepping up and doing something about the corruption. I could literally write a book on how bad they did me and how it negatively affected me and my children.

Same ...my ex had previous kids taken and a felony neglect of a dependant...I stupidly married her after she told me what a victim she was also in her previous marriage ...I later found out by my attorney she lied about how her son died for 10 months ...she sound been locked up with the stepfather that killed the child ...for years she dragged me to court with lies ...they couldn't even focus on the custody battle ...and her past was never allowed to be brought up

Ashley Persley is a habitual liar and vindictive. It’s shocking what she’s willing to do to deny the father his rights to see his daughter, including multiple allegations which have all been dropped. Seeing her here trying to garner sympathy indicates a lack of credible investigation to both sides of the story.

So all four of them are lying? When is it ever in the best interest of child to do anything other then joint custody UNLESS there is abuse going on. Come on. You must be a friend of dad or judge or someone. Why would she lose custody of one and not the other three? It's called MONEY, CONNECTIONS and CORRUPTION. Been there done that. Small town. One judge. All the lawyers and judges are close friends. No one cares about the kids only about their paycheck.

April 21, 2024 my 5 year old daughter came to me while I was cooking dinner and told me her great grandmother, grandmother and mom were allowing people in masks to take her and her sister to an undisclosed location and beat them while chained to a wall/ceiling. My nine year old came into the room and started crying saying they weren't allowed to talk about it. I called the police and was told to contact DCS. April 22, 2024 I called DCS and talked to Anthony Lopez. April 23, 2024 Mr Lopez interviewed my girls. They told him the same thing. A couple hours later my town police (Wakarusa Police) came to my door saying that their mom was wanting them back. The girls told officers Eric Lechlitner and Tim Hershberger what happened. April 24, 2024 Eric Lechlitner came back and took the kids away from me and gave them back to their mom. I have not been able to see them and DCS has tried three times to close the case but I have been fighting diligently. Come to find out my kids' mom, grandmother and great grandmother have ties to Elkhart County Sheriff's Department, Elkhart County Superior Court 6 and local government. I am being road blocked by everyone except Kelli Deisler from DCS. I feel the whole local government has some sort of connection to child trafficking.

I personally went through the same thing in 2019. Have all the documentation to prove the system is corrupt. Wasted over 30,000$ in lawyers fees. Never had any run ins with law enforcement. I Had my rights violated by Mary and the judge. They personally made sure I have/had no contact with my 3 daughters after having them everyday for over ten years. I was married and soon as I got a divorce I was never allowed to see my 3 daughters. All because of false accusations that were never looked into. I have all facts to prove my case. N I dare someone call me a lier. Having your kids taken from you is the one of the most traumatic things a person can go through. Ive been so mentally strong throughout this process. But my daughters are not. This type of trauma will make you not eat, sleep, you can’t be around other people because you can’t talk about anything else but your situation. You don’t want people to feel sorry for you. But that’s the only thing on your mind. I’m glad this situation is being further looked at into!! There’s no way all these woman are lying!! I could write a book on how bad they did me personally!!!
