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.

My heart breaks for this family.
Funny how only the defense has problems hearing during Kyle's testimony, and Kyle's testimony only. The lengths these scummy defense lawyers are going to in order to avoid any sense of the witnesses, victims or plaintiffs lawyers to have a steady train of thought
Kyle couldn't even get a full sentence out without goofball Shapiro approaching the judge. Got his panties all up in a bunch on that one
Little girl in the middle of defense table needs to be removed from, court her smiles and shaking her head is out of line
The defense watching them scramble lol
Sally Smith is someone who should NEVER EVER be working with the public let alone with children. She is a very miserable person. JHACH should be ashamed to even have her on their staff.
The way the defense spoke to Dr Newberger in the deposition videos was so disgusting and disrespectful.
It’s horrifying that Sally Smith is actually a doctor…she seems like a cold miserable b** who hates children.
It breaks my heart 💔 hearing the heartache of Kyle and Maya's testimonies of not having their mom and knowing JH Hospital were responsible for all their heartaches.
The sleezy john Hopkins lawyers tried to throw a curve ball by throwing in the question or statement about the Kolowsky's not contesting the DCF rulings regarding the supervised visits.
Wow this Dr is one angry dude
Big butts acting like they cant hear
Sad the Mom felt she had to die, horrible hospital , horrible "caregivers "
Bravo to Judge for not shaving his hair off!
I like these lawyers reading to me
Is there a Petition to have Sally Smith removed from the hospital so she can’t destroy anymore families??? If not, there should be!!!!
I cant stand that Sally
Kyle is the ultimate victim of all of these.😢
I can’t believe DR SS chose to work with children (and was hired to do so). She is SO cold
What a mean looking person Sally Smith is, poor Maya 😢
In the Netflix documentary, lots of parents at the end explained how Sally Smith did the same thing to their family. Makes u wonder
2:14:00 I hope this evil woman’s face is recognized everywhere she goes! I hope her neighbors shame her and her children are repulsed by her.
This arrogant psychopath Sally had no idea these deposition videos would be shown in court.
Yep sally smith just won the case for Maya WOW !!!!!
I'm becoming concerned about Anderson's use of time. How much do they get and does it include closing? 😬
1:45:35 mofo really flirts with his jury
1:06:34 LIES! THEY PUT FORWARD FOR A MISTRIAL A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS. THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND A WAY THAT WOULD MAKE THE PLAINTIFF MOVE FOR A MISTRIAL. THIS IS SO SLIMY AND DISGUSTING BY THE DEFENSE. OMFG. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
46:58 this makes the hospital look really bad especially. I mean everything looks bad, but they were purposely not letting Mommy talk to baby.
Kyle at 7:49:40😒 I’m confused. He recently learned how to drive, but because mom Beata deleted herself 7 years ago, he “don’t feel quite like doing it anymore” when asked about driving and having fun with friends today; 🤔 badly worded, but that’s Anderson’s fault. He probably did the question and answer practice sessions with Kyle. Sorry for Kyle. I’m not buying the entire Maya story.
