Judge Reinstates Charity’s Ousted Board Members

An Oklahoma county judge has reinstated five trustees of the antihunger group, Feed the Children, who had been kicked off the charity’s board in December, reports The Oklahoman.

Patricia Parrish, an Oklahoma County district judge who ordered the reinstatement yesterday, said she did so because the bylaws of Feed the Children, in Oklahoma City, were not followed when the five trustees were ousted.

In her ruling, Judge Parrish said the five reinstated trustees — who sued to get their jobs back — cannot take action against the organization’s founder, Larry Jones, at this time. She also invalidated the election of five new board members and made public court records that had been sealed.
