The family of Maya Kowalski, the subject of Netflix’s “Take Care of Maya,” allege that a report of child abuse from Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital led to Beata Kowalski taking her own life. The Kowalski’s are suing doctors, the Department of Children and Families, and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for $200 million dollars in connection to Beata’s death. According to court documents, the child abuse case against Beata was pushed forward after Maya’s physician confirmed her condition, complex regional pain syndrome, was not the fault of her parents. During the time Beata was separated from Maya, she took her own life.

Mr Anderson is so unprofessional and disorganized when it comes to asking questions in the proper form to avoid objection, and lacks the ability to even remember the question he asked once the objection is raised. I am absolutely marveled at how he managed to pull this case off, let alone how he managed to pass the bar exam
Ok, so the family didn't get enough when they sued Sally and Cathy, the social workers who were actually the ones responsible? So they're going after the hospital, which was just the vessel in which they used? And then they STILL didn't win enough off if this trial, now they need to go after the hospital for criminal charges, for something Maya didn't even claim happened until the plaintiff was about ready to rest their case? They're going after the hospital, not the actual people who did the "alleged" crime, and they're not going after Kathy or Sally for criminal charges either? I don't know. Something is very fishy about this family, and the course by which only certain evidence comes out at, really the least convenient times, even for the plaintiffs case.
My heart once again broke listening to the family talk about the damages they've suffered. What they went through is disgusting and shameful. Maya slipping into present tense when talking about her mom's personality was so gut wrenching. A clear sign of grief and that Beata is still with them and they miss her deeply. JHACH staff should be ashamed of themselves for what they did to this family.
The defense lawyers are sweating bullets 😅
I love Robert Tremp Jr attitude towards Mr. Shapiro, Defense lawyer of JH Hospital whats funny they (defense lawyers) are now saying Maya CRPS.
The hounds (defense lawyers) are really not liking it with $$$ are thrown out there.
Ms. Kirby must be one smart lady. All that math, statistics and findings that she has to calculate in these cases. Wow!
Poor girl! Prayers that God helps you
I think Maya should try to close that hospital down and put the other children in a safe place. The Hospital that Maya was in is a very evil place. And that witch name Cati should be put in jail for taking pitchers if a child that did not want her pitchers taken. I am glad that my kids are grown up But I have 7 grand kids. I hope my grand kids won't ever have to go to a Hospital that is full of Evil. Like John Hopkins All Children's Hospital.
I feel really bad for Maya. I lost my mom when I was a young adult and it was really hard. Most people don't lose a parent til at least their 40's. So like Maya, I had no peers to talk to about it. Some of my friends actually admitted they didn't know what to say to me and our friendships lapsed because I felt abandoned by them. From what I've witnessed within my own circle, losing a parent later in life isn't as bad as losing one young. Some of the things she said will lessen with time but there's always that hole plus she lost her mom in a traumatic way which makes it even worse.
Ahhhh the sound of a witness with integrity wiping the floor with that D bag defense lawyer. Music to my ears!
Also…. The juror questions were very good and I think they will award on damages
Its so sad to see especially Maya how all this has traumatized her. In the videos even tho she was in the hospital I dont believe she knew the gravity ofnit all. I loved her sweet little joyful voice and every once in a while when she smiles i see its nor totally gone bur still shes not the same in fact it has destroyed her. Unbelievable a hospital could do such damage when rhey are supposed to be a beacon of hope
Tremp is a BOSS! ❤ this guy!
3:45 judge tells jury this information will be in evidence 🤦🏼♀️🤣 her numbers were low anyway so I wish they would go by what the family deserves not the min js

7:24:12 look at this dbag rehearsing what he's gonna say
It's crazy to think that as an intelligent person myself who went thru severe trauma, i could have been making a ton of money at this point in my life, but i also have CPTSD and mental health issues from the trauma… Just weird to think of it like that.
I bet people out there wanna say she should pull herself up by her boot straps tho
Kristy Kirby 2:40 if anyone is looking for the information the jury wanted from deliberating 😅
ACJH- "You got you have your friend come for an hour once… We're innocent" 😇
Why do they keep trying to keep out the story of the friend who died from crps?
So the hospital actually interrupted her treatment making her lifetime prognosis worse. Another legitimate reason for her mother to be overly stressed about getting her out. The frustration her parents must have felt.
Tremp is awesome… ❤
Has Maya taken the stand today?
No not saying the ten years between age 18-28. Could be total of ten years over the years until death
