TYLER, Texas — The Tyler Morning Telegraph has brought attention to a distressing case unfolding in Sachse, where claims of sexual abuse at By the Barnyard Gate daycare have resulted in legal action. Efrain Jesus Bonilla, a former employee of the daycare, faces charges of indecency with a child following a report made by the mother of a 4-year-old boy to Sachse Police on January 6, 2023.
What Happened at This North Texas Daycare?
According to the article, the mother noticed concerning behavior in her son and promptly reported it. The family's lawsuit, filed on June 10, 2024, states that surveillance footage from the daycare captured Bonilla committing the act. Seeking justice for their child, the family is seeking damages for the pain and suffering caused by the abuse.
Russell Button, founder of The Button Law Firm, highlighted the severity of the allegations in the article featured by The Tyler Morning Telegraph: "This caregiver comes over, blocks the camera view, warms up his hands, positions the child, sticks his hand down into his private areas and grabs his privates."
The failure of By the Barnyard Gate to promptly report the incident has raised serious concerns. Records from Texas Health and Human Services indicate that the daycare was cited for its failure to report the abuse promptly. An investigation by the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) concluded that the child had indeed been subjected to abuse while under the care of the daycare.
