Katy case workers sued over foster home families

A child placement agency is suing a Spring-area organization and former employees over foster home families.

The Bair Foundation of Texas Inc. filed a lawsuit on July 13 in Harris County District Court against Brighter Vision Child Care Services, of Spring, Memorial resident Desiree Bollinger and Katy resident Marjorie Meletoh, citing tortious interference with an existing contract, breach of confidentiality agreement and civil conspiracy.

The Foundation says that two of its former employees, Meletoh and Bollinger, used their positions in the organization as case managers for Houston-area foster families to transfer clients to another agency, Brighter Vision Child Care Services. According to the brief, these acts were intentional violations of the employment contracts signed by Meletoh and Bollinger.

The Foundation is seeking injunctive relief, damages, attorney’s fees and court costs. It is being represented in the case by Tyler attorney Norman Ladd.
