Court orders / directives from Magistrate James Johnson, for police to enter homes, isn't anything new...
Women were terrified of the Porter County divorce court system in the 1990's. Under orders from Magistrate Johnson and Judge Webber, police were arriving at homes and removing children from mothers who were caught up in divorces.
Adding to the terror, was Guardian Ad Litem Beatrice Lightfoot - a wealthy land owner, who made large contributions to the campaigns of Porter County judges, and a large contribution to the county's Guardian Ad Litem fund.
In October 1995, Lightfoot co-founded with Judge Webber, the Children/Parent visitation Center - which would attempt to divert county funding from the Family House visitation Center.
The mess created by Johnson, Webber, and Lightfoot would take the intervention of US Representative Pete Visclosky and State Senator William Alexas; establishment of the Family Court Bill; and additional Porter County Local Court Rules setting the qualifications of Guardian Ad Litems.
