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.

On THIS DAY… in the FINAL 1/2 hour of ARGUMENTS OUTSIDE THE PRESENCE OF THE JURY… as we see these CORRUPT, MONEY-GRUBBING JHACH "sold their Souls to Satan" Lawyers REPEATEDLY try to BULLY this Court, and this Judge…. FINALLY… I am THANKING GOD for this Judge's STAUNCH REFUSAL to be BULLIED and BACK DOWN on previous Rulings. THANK YOU, LORD!!!
Dr. Katz is a word doctor apparently, so much meaning behind the word previously, how fitting defendant draws all those conclusions from one word. She was taken to ACH several different times, amazing how previously couldn't mean it was one of those other times huh?
6:16:24…. Used the term “prior”… according to this dr, she assigned this term for “as in another hospital PRIOR to John Hopkins.
Did she mean that now as well 🤔🤔🤔
What was Maya there for a total of 25 minutes? I don't understand why she isn't there every day. This trial is about her. If I was on that jury I'd be questioning that. There's no reason she can't be there. I understand that it's stressful but they knew that coming into this. It's a good thing the jurors gave the outcome they did in the end because her not being there for me is a big 🚩.
I remember one psychotherapist saying that a family with a nurse + a law enforcement/firefighter parents is generally a recipe for an anxious and troubled child.
And another professional, working in psycho-somatic therapy considers many children’s illnesses as some manifestations of parent’s troubles. And it doesn’t mean that the child’s disease isn’t real. It means that a parent needs to take care of themselves too.
I dont understand how this case turned in favour of the plaintiffs. There were obviously some deep psychological problems in this family.
The pattern continues. The Psychologist had me until she started saying the SV isn’t a reportable offense and sparring on what “previous” means. The JHACH doctors and staff are mostly liars. It’s so clear to me.
Anderson had Dr Mendez squirming. It was awesome.
It’s interesting that the female doctors in this case seem to be the least empathetic and most judgmental and cold. Makes you wonder what kind of women are attracted to healthcare professions today.
Must be very hard for the family being in court
The defence lady looks worn out
The Kowalski family not after money for money, but justice for family ….and to hold to light how awful the hosp treated Maya and family . Doesn't look like they are xtra poor, but extremely traumatized and sad. Never will family be the same
The anesthesiologist for JHACH is really going to sit up there and say CRPS and conversion disorder are treated the same. That they believe the patient when he/she says they’re in pain. Dude. Seriously? Go back to school! These diagnoses are NOT the same! Nor should they be treated as such! I would NEVER take my child to this hospital based simply on his testimony.
My issue with MbP is that the mother did every treatment that was recommended, including getting cognitive behavioral therapy for her child, PT and OT. And she sought counseling for herself. I’ve never heard of a case of MbP where the aggravating parent sought mental health counseling.
Waiting for mayas memoir
the juniour lawyer or paralegal, whatever she is in the last row of the defence team, is so annoying the way … what arrogance. the smmirking and laughing condescendingly, eye rolling etc etc etc …….the final judgement wiped away the smirk away i bet
The lady psychologist isn't a very good one. #1. Not asking Maya further about where the dr who looked @ her privates. #2. Doing a medication list of what Maya was taking @ the times of her evaluations.
Dr. Jennifer Katzenstein — hahaha to you.
Good Maya did not follow up with you Dr. PHD in Psych
I remember the time my son was a kid until he was in High School. I gave him the idea of being a Lawyer (My family is a family of doctors). His immediate response was 'he is NOT' a liar, until the time he was about to enter college, he repeated why he couldn't be a lawyer because he is not a liar. Mr. Shapiro and Hunter proved my son correct.
Dr. Jen, wait till your daughter reports to you a professional look at her private parts. I hope you won't go crazy.
Listening to Dr. Jen blows my mind. She says "family" is a factor, so why didn't she recommend being with her family instead of being in a foster home. You were in line with Cathi and did a good job for Cathi and Smith.
The 2 older lawyers on the defense and typical corporate attorneys. They also have over and over showed a mob boss mentality and have been called out so much for their dishonesty and non consistent conspiracy theories. All of which has been hidden from the jury
This immunology Dr is arrogant. He'd have put me off immediately. He wants to help his fellow Drs out.
And that's how you tear a new A hole into Elliott! His throat was so dry he almost choked a few times 🤣🤣🤣
All this kazetstein B proved is she's really proficient at fraud. Well done! 😂
