Las Vegas, NV – The Danger Of Having A Non Jewish Caregiver For Kids.

Las Vegas, NV – An anguished Jewish mother can’t understand why her daughter has abandoned family and friends for the confines of a local evangelical church. Loved ones say 19-year-old Sharona isn’t the same person since becoming involved with the church.

Sharona Dagani. The 19-year-old was dealt a tough hand from birth. Cerebral palsy complicated by medical malpractice, numerous operations, and cancer as a young teen have left her without the use of her limbs and totally dependent on caregivers. Until recently, that meant her mom.

Things changed in 2006 when Sharona’s mother hired a part-time caregiver from an agency. Within two months, Sharona informed her mom in a letter that she was moving out. More shocking was that she decided to leave the Jewish faith. The family suspects the caregiver — a Ms. Perez — of planting the seeds and for an ancient motive.

A malpractice settlement put nearly $2 million into a trust for Sharona’s care. Not long after she moved out with Ms. Perez, Sharona went to court to try and gain control of the trust. [klastv]
