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.

Why did those nurses hate Maya so much?
Poor Maya😢😢
Beata would be so proud.
Judge talking about the hospitals immunity in the court order is absolutely bogus, seeing as the court order was obtained over false pretenses, and then led to neglect of a child and psychological torture
I love how passively intimidating the defense lawyer is towards Maya. That is an acquired skill there
Interesting how Maya states that she couldn’t afford therapy but drives a Tesla… she’s also presenting very differently than she was in the TCOM documentary (which clearly had a narrative that I fell for).
Maya, such a brave young lady!
It’s interesting to notice that the defendants never look at Maya whilst she’s on the stand..
Are the people behind defense there supporting the hospital?
"Its probably tonthis day rotting in cathi bedy's office" yes girl! I love seeing her respectfully dissing everyone who hurt her and lied.
I wonder if the attorneys for the hospital ever felt disgusted at the people they are defending.
What a CONSPIRACY WEB of DECEPTION and EVIL … ORCHESTRATED by this "Hospital"… SICKENING!!
These hospital EMPLOYEES are the ones who are SICK!!!
Seems there are some JHACH staff in the comments 😂 Kowalski's deserve every penny
That judge needs to part with that final tuft of hair in the front. Not doing him any favors
Nice try, CPS lawyers…. trying to imply she only got better because her mom passed. Apparently, you failed!
THIS IS TORTURE TO THIS POOR CHILD!!! ITS DISGUSTING!!
6:36:00 no he isnt, of all these terrible lawyers, this one is the one i hate the most and i'm almoust sure he is a psicopath…
to all the idiots who said "ur dur, i cant see any tears in her face" 5:34:55 that's a tear… god i hate the people who were agiasnt maya in this case…
Karma , darling. Believe me. Cathy and everyone who did this to you will experience the same., what goes around , comes around.
Hospitals and DCF, all they do os gaslight their victims
even tough the family won, it saddens me that the judge didnt allow the photo of the cameras to come in into evidence… because honestly, yes, the hospital is lying. and the family should be able to proove it…
Seeing her tear up hearing about the card her mother wrote for her that was kept from her from such vile human beings breaks my heart. She just wanted her moms comfort. Knowing that her mom is no longer earth bound is heartbreaking. Maya will never get to receive hugs,kisses,hear her moms voice again. And if it wasn’t for all the videos she might not have been able to remember her moms voice.
The video at 5:07 made me sad. She just kept taking.. begging for some interaction.. and she didn't even talk about. Just handed her a tub.
2:22:08 Defense really wants to object to a “HIPAA violation” when it comes to a photo of another patient in Mexico with Maya, but doesn’t think their client texting about “Ketamine Girl’s mom” as admissible or a big deal. I hate how scummy some Defense lawyers are
Judge: "Any recross" hospital lawyers: "No THANK you, your honor" We're won't try THAT again! LMFAO!!!!
Funny how her cross examination actually helped bolster her direct testimony. 😆 Poetic justice.
I cried through alot of maya testimony so heart breaking. She had such a hard life then a buncha idiot's took away her family when she needed it them the most while they tortured her 24 hours a day! She should get the total amount of her law suit and hopefully this warehouse will either close or nah just close there is no redeeming them
Is he really still trying to say she's not got crps?
Wow. Trying to ask for a mistrial. They know it doesn't look good for them.
5:10:44 they played uno reverse card here ◀️◀️ lol
4:01:41 OFC THERE'S AN EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY WHEN TALKING TO A DOCTOR. TF
It is utterly depressing knowing that her specifically pointing out that he listened to her, because it's so common that doctors ignore their patients, don't listen to them, don't believe them, etc. It's sad that it's more common for them to not believe you versus highlighting the fact that the doctor actually listened to her. I know this all too well. I've been ignored so frequently at doctor's offices that I don't even trust doctors anymore because they don't listen. They have their preconceived notion about you and that's just what it is, and you couldn't possibly have any idea of what's wrong with your own body, or it's all inside of your head. I know exactly that feeling.
Look at the judge don't the right thing here 💪💪💪🥳🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌🙌
5:15 love the judge letting that in
ha ha roughly 5:16-Maya finally gets to the bottom of Dr Elliots note, and reads that Dr Elliot caught her faking it in a hallway with her dad present. (after her own lawyer enters the note into evidence, only focusing on the first two sentences 😂😂😂😂)
the mother certainly has blame here but will never be held accountable. This obsession with ketamine is not something you hear every day. Remarkable recovery for this young lady….shame her mother could not have been a part of it…I think it was Munchausen …..I agree with bringing to light the problems with the hospital but her father is sure making a killing on this story.
She knew KB had "permanent eyeliner" at the incident in chapel. I think some of this is coached. No 10 year old would even know what they is let alone notice it in a situation like that with extreme stress. Then she goes on about a Tommy Hillfinger dress she saw at about age 8-9? This does not ring true.
I love the chocolate milk move, was that a sympathy ploy? It did not work on me. I see her and her family very clearly for who they really are! Many others are seeing that to! They should just walk away now with some dignity left.
Cruella is gonna blow a gasket
Love how her dad looks at her, beaming with pride.
Ugh I feel awful for Maya for having to endure the proffer only for it to come to nothing. It wasn’t needed during THIS trial. It is one thing for her to tell her attorney but another altogether to tell the world. Poor thing
How did he get the card for evidence then if Maya never got it from Cathy?
I feel bad for Jack….in that documentary, he was led to believe this was a Home Run…and I feel he may be out 5 million in Lawyer fees.
Why is the cross examination being so soft on Maya. She has been keeping up a charade and told blatant lies. They are taking the testimony of a child or a child's memory who coincidentally seems to remember things that can't be supported other than he said/she said. She is painting a picture of a literal vendetta against her family plotted by the hospital. She knows she is lying and has been coached to procure sympathy. They are just accepting absolute BS from her about a miraculous turn around tne day after Ketamine when at other times she claims it didn't do a thing and she wanted more more more now!! Has anyone asked her what she attributes her miracle cure as soon as she left hospital? She claims the things she's done are what cured her yet all those things were the recommended treatment for conversion disorder (she did NOT have CRPS) She claimed nothing helped her in 3 mths at hospital but went on to do all those same things and lo and behold she's walking, running 5 miles a day, skating, scuba diving, working out in the gym 6 days a week with just "some occasional pain" How are people so gullible!
Reading the chat replay is unbelievable. All the people saying "If she couldn't be touched how could she paint her nails?" and other ridiculous questions, she has said sooooo many times the pain is different based on the day. And those talking about her dystonia, try to keep your feet turned in like that for even 2 mins time. It HURTS! There's no way she could keep her feet that way for MONTHS at a time- especially during the K-Coma! She literally had dystonia IN A COMA! The victim blaming has got to stop! This hospital owes her and her family EVERY MF PENNY!!!!💯💯💯💯
Maya is an amazing young lady! I can't believe she mentioned the FL schools being outdoors. That was something I remember being cool about the schools when I moved there! I really hope they get justice. They deserve it.
She is the perfect witness, has the best demeanor
Mya the liar!
Maya has a great court face make up artist. Paler than pale, dark circles under her eyes, wistful expression. Skip to prom night or Tribeca festival and she's striding around in 6 inch heels, low cut clinging dress, full vamp make up, boyfriend in tow. Hmmm…..
Does anyone else question if there are any other hospitals guilty of this sort of behavior?
That nurse…hope she lost her license
