He completely ignores due process of any kind.

He gave custody to an abuser without due process. He ignores constitutional rights of parents and families. He would rather destroy families than actually obey the oath he took. I’ve never witnessed a more unhinged judge in my life.

He is a disgrace to judges everywhere. He should have removed from the bench years ago, he’s almost 80 years old. He DOES NOT care about children or families at all. He threatens, yells and refuses due process. Judge Bonfiglio is ruining Elkhart County. His family should be embarrassed by his pure lack of empathy for families in his county.
