Father Fights In-Laws Over Daughter's Access
5 Mar
Summary
- Father claims in-laws caused wife's death from cancer.
- Grandparents seek visitation rights under state law.
- Allegations of medical misdiagnosis and manipulation surface.
A Middletown detective, Naso, is embroiled in a Family Court case against his late wife's parents, Dr. Siavash Ghoreishi and Dr. Jila Khorsand. Naso alleges they are responsible for his wife Sherry's death from breast cancer in April 2024, claiming they misdiagnosed her symptoms and manipulated her medical care. He is fighting their attempts to gain visitation rights with their 4-year-old granddaughter, Laila.
Naso testified that his in-laws administered 124 prescriptions for Sherry over a decade and 36 for Laila by age 2 1/2, allegedly without consulting oncologists. He further claims they misdiagnosed Sherry's stroke-like symptoms as Prozac withdrawal when she had a brain tumor. The court saw video evidence of the grandparents allegedly administering medication to Laila.
Rhode Island law allows grandparents visitation rights if they can prove parents are wrong to deny visits. Naso, however, believes his in-laws' actions and the ongoing litigation, which has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, demonstrate they are a danger to Laila. He fears she will suffer the same fate of manipulation and lack of autonomy his wife experienced.
