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.

“I wasn’t supposed to watch any of the testimony so I have no idea about that” she just admitted to watching the testimony 😂
Sally's 4" binders sealed her fate.
Sally smith made the mistake to mess with the wrong family. She got away with it for far too long and the kowalskis were the one to finally put a stop to it. For someone to have that many hats in a very blurred role is bound to mess up and she did.
Godbless Gregory Anderson Law firm!
Just look at Smith getting caught up in her lies
How is "That's So Raven" Alicia a nurse? Seriously? She stated she doesn't have a good memory, and seems very dim. I mean, very, extremely dimwitted. Why would the defense bring in such an incompetent worker as a witness? The jury has got to see the seriousness of the implications of having such an incompetent worker, involved with children. And for her to testify that she doesn't believe there's anything wrong with photographing a young child in her underwear? How vile, despicable, reprobate, evil and disgusting.
Oh my, it's Gulla Gulla Island!! Haha. Broad doesn't know anything, how did she become an RN?
THAT'S SO RAVEN!!
Why not pick up a phone to talk to her other doctors. I don’t understand.
The defense should have just rested long ago. Their witnesses are a freaking train wreck. 🤦🤦
Omg that nurse is not the sharpest knife in the drawer is she? I'm glad I'll NEVER have to worry about ever getting her as a nurse.
I really expected more out of Mr.Anderson when cross examining Sally Smith. Finally got the person on the stand responsible for destroying this families lives and he was just cuddling with her on the stand. I didn't expect that tbh.
Okay first, as someone who had done security at a hospital, my company was on a contract with this hospital. I was not an employee of the hospital i was someone who was contracted to work there, similar to sally smith. The first thing i was told is that while we are not employees of this hospital, we do portray as though we are. Meaning you follow what the hospital wants, rule and attitude wise, as we are wearing a badge with their logo on it. We do not get final say and have to go through chain of command with hospital staff depending on the situation.
Which is how smith should have acted. She was there through a contract, she was to go through the chain of command. And she didnt do that.
Sally loves to hear herself talk.
i just realized that Sally Smith's initials are SS… coincidence? i think not..
3:42:40 oooooooh he got her! dammit, is a shame this is in proper! i wanted to see that in front of the jury! this gotcha moment
3:39:00 she wants to talk to the manager!
i vote for us to replace the term "karen" with the term "sally" from now on…
3:13:45 yeah but a brian scan is not a treatment, is an exam… there is a difference between treatment and exam e_e
2:04:30 "i think i misspoke earlier" humrum… of course…
Listening Dr. Sally Smith just makes my skin crawl. Every other word is "UM!" UM get off the witness chair you lying …..!
Uh…parents write as their children all the time. Example: Christmas cards summarizing the year. I know I'm not the only one to get those!
Wow just wow nurse Ratched. This country should screen Carefully who is allowed to go to med school. Disgusting
It’s not in my report I was busy written reports,Ruining lives,written reports,ruining lives 😢 JHACH DEFRAUDED mr kowalski
And his ins comp JHACH charged them 500,000 for treatment of CRPS the thing Dr at hospital claimed faking and made up
And telling that little girl telling her mom was causing the pain and she’s crazy People should have been fired and few in prison
The RN at around ~6h mark was sooo suspicious. Can't even answer basic questions that are literally logical. She was all happy answering the defence questions but seems willfully ignorant and acts like she has amnesia with the plaintiff even if there's a picture in front of her. Hope the Jury caught it.
That nurse remembers.. just just doesn't want to say anything so the lawyers don't continue to question her. Deception is written all over her face. How sad that she is the coordinator for muscular dystrophy unit. I feel sorry for those kids and their parents whom she is the coordinator for.
Along with Megan Rapinoes' mom (Neirhus ?), Smith wrecked any case the defence had. Both just perjured themselves from start to finish and Smith clearly thinks she is way above the experts. And for an investigator to purposely ignore any one side of an investigation would surely have to be gross misconduct.
It was a monumental mistake putting either one of them up.
I have fibromyalgia and RA and OA two kinds of arthritis and am in pain every minute of every day. Of course the pain varies from one hour to the next. But giving a patient who has taken ketamine some tramadol or Adivan will not more than likely help her pain bc it is so severe. If the ketamine worked and she was getting better until her relapse after the hurricane then she should have been given it again. Why did they have the right to overule jer Dr's prescription? Poor girl suffered so much and her mom making that awful choice just to check out was so devistating for Maya and so wrong on her mom"s part.
For someone who says they became a pediatric nurse because they care about kids, saying i dont recall when asked if maya was screaming and saying no is downright messed up. These ppl are trying to cover their own butts.
Look how her nose flares.. she is so arrogant!! Disgusting! She has committed this CRIME on so many families!! Yes!! CRIME!!
Jacks lookin spiffy today 😉
Is it just me or does Mr Hunter sound like neighbor Tom Anderson on Beavis and Butthead?
What parent would take their child to this “pediatrician”? She is so cold. Thank goodness for the warm and kind pediatrician that my kids had!
They should have forced a mental eval on Dr Sally Smith
How many lives has she destroyed, jus because of ego and possible histrionic syndrom
I wonder how many parents whose lives she ruined either showed up or are watching her right now. Dr Smith….
Omg she looks like a demon
How many hoops is this judge willing to jump through to bend over backwards in support of the defense. Really really lopsided biased behaviour. But then again, his buddy the ex-judge is one of the 5 lawyers for the defense so no surprise there!
Has anyone noticed that all the defense witnesses start drinking a lot of water once cross examination really gets going? Trying to put that fire out in their panties? Liar liar panties on fire ! 😂
