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 wish I knew why such a huge hospital would think this kind of treatment of a family is okay and that her mom knew so called nothing as a nurse and her doctor that diagnosed her with CRPS could just be ignored so bluntly and do what they want is beyond me
What a tragic case! I just saw the documentary on Netflix. I'm so glad Beata recorded everything up to her death or this case wouldn't be possible. So sad, you can't even bring your child to the hospital anymore without fearing being accused of child abuse.
Something I have been saying since Dec 2016. CPS/DCFS has a purpose, but the system is seriously broken. Parents are not provided a lawyer; they are guilty until they prove themselves innocent. The social workers that do the "investigating" do not have proper training. They do not have to provide actual evidence. Social workers an submit their opinion as fact to judge. Their word is gold.
She sacrificed herself to get her daughter home she gave her life for her daughter.
I do not trust doctors. I emphasize – I do NOT trust doctors.
I don't know who was filming this, whether it was someone else or someone from this channel themselves; but whoever you are, you are gross. The focus on Maya and her family, zooming in on her face when she's crying, it's entirely inappropriate, it's invasive, and you should be ashamed.
Good morning Everyone
Our medical system is completely screwed up.
Justice for Maya, her mom, brother and father! 🙏
Goodnight everyone! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
great story
I LOVE that jurors are allowed to submit questions. This should be the procedure in every state!
Alienware laptop 👽
As someone in the Healthcare Profession, this makes me sick they would treat any patient like this, let alone a child 💔 This has to be one of the worst cases I’ve heard as far as Medical Professionals being involved. 😞
From my own experience just because you are a doctor or a nurse it doesn’t mean you know everything in fact their thinking is narrow minded. The Ketamine worked. That hospital destroyed that family because of their narrow minded culture. It was a conspiracy. The staff conspired to prove Maya’s mother influenced her daughter to be Sick and they conspired to take that child away from her mother.
I’m really scared if things like this happens a parent has no right no control over the situation in this country.
TO THE KOWALSKI FAMILY. MAY YOU BE FOREVER HEALED FROM THS NIGHTMARE. AND RIP TO MRS KOWALSKI. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL. HUGS FROM PHILIPPINES
I’m watching this out of order so I’m prefacing my comment. I know Maya was told of the risks of the ketamine treatment and she chose to do it. Saying that, when the hospital attorney said she had a 50% chance of dying, all I thought was “my God, she had to have been in absolutely horrible pain to consent knowing she had a 50% chance of dying.” That says it all.
I passed this documentary so many times on Netflix, watched some trial … watched the documentary today and I cried like a baby 😢
No the hospital didn't have control over what the court ordered but if it wasn't for their accusatory statements DCF would have never got involved.
Why is it that the lawyers for the hospital especially the older man in the blue suit who is sort of
Lounging back as if he was at home, give off disturbingly negative vibes. If I noticed I’m sure the jury noticed as well. I would think they would at least try to appear pleasant, But then again some individuals have an unpleasant resting face.

This is what happens when narcissists and psychopaths enter the medical field. Maybe they should up the pay rate and the standards and never mind about the hiring quotas
Opening statement for the claimants (the Kowalski family) was hideously rambling and had no sense of chronology of events. By contrast, Johns Hopkins’ opening statement is clear and chronological. If I had to decide the case on opening statements alone, I’d side with the hospital
Even if the evidence did show that Ketamine was not helping, it didn't show that Beata did anything other than follow her daughter's own doctors recommendations regarding the treatment of CRPS.
The hospital didn't want to spend the big dollars cost for ketamine,because it isn't covered by insurance, but they kept claiming for CRPS even though they said she didn't have it. Claiming that her mum had Munchausen by proxy and was harming her child.
This accusation would have lead to Beata losing her children, her husband and her job within the nursing industry. So there is little wonder as to why Beata thought this was her only act of saving the family she loved. This could have all been averted by the hospital applying for a court order against those doctors prescribing to Maya.
Among all the scummy things the hospital did is the contradiction between charging the family's medical insurance for half a million dollars for the treatment of an illness they insisted Maya didn't have. I don't get it.
This has to be one of the worst opening statements I’ve heard in a long time. I’m glad the jury saw past this and into the facts. This is yet another horrible case of basic standard of care and social work.
This aged badly for the defense… 😂
Good golly how many attorneys does the hospital have? Wow. It reminds me of a John Grisham novel. The one with the kid who had leukemia. What was the name of that book?
I recommend to listen to the defense’s opening statement at at least 1.25x speed
You want the best for your child, so you take them to Johns Hopkins, which is supposed to be the best and they do this? Horrible. Restitution will not bring Beata back, but if the hospital is in fact culpable, they should pay a lot, so it discourages this kind of practice
ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD IS AN INSULT. oh my god. He also said CHRONIC when it is COMPLEX. And she LITERALLY SAID they WERE TELLING HER SHE HAD NO PAIN
The John Hopkins lawyer “relatively pain free”…. That’s not how CRPS works. You are never pain free.
..the fact that the hospital staff didn’t like that maya’s mom had holy water & rosary beads – proves there is some evil in their hearts – how are those items sitting on her hospital table bothering them? ..i’ve brought those to my father’s hospital room when he was ill – it’s what some people do
Their lawyer sucks. Theres no emotion or passion. He better not lose this case for them.
If she didn't have CRPS why did they use that diagnosis code to charge the insurance for 3 months?
ok so, i'm only at 4 minutes but this judge seemlike a cool judge, he seem gentle and inteligent, but if i were to give him one advice (totaly not related to anything judicial) would be to just shave his head… and i swear i'm not saying it to make fun of him, i honestly think he would look good with a shaved head.
I'm so sorry for you and your family's loss. I was diagnosed with crps in 2019 after a work injury in 2018. I have had my own battles with my previous place of work and workers comp . I'm so sorry for what you have all been through, and I hope you get the justice you all deserve. My heart goes out to you and your family . As a previous nurse and now crps sufferer myself, what this hospital and staff put you all through is appalling . Sending prayers
but this isn't the only family that's been ripped apart and used for revenues by this hospital. it's a pattern and it IS a conspiracy and was always the original goal to get her parents out of the way so Maya could just be a product, an income.
i can't wait to know if they have other patients testimony about their other"stellar treatment" for her diagnoses. they got it worked the first time, they got it wrong the second time, they literally said had NO IDEA what it was, and when someone DID diagnose it and successfully TREATED her, they wanted that revenue for the treatment
I think the family has a good case. I wish they had a more articulate lawyer.
I hope the hospital is made to pay every penny. What they did to this family is an outrage. I hope justice is served!!
Also.. Isn’t it standard practice to confirm if a patient is cleared? Dr. Kirkpatrick took the moms word for it… that is insane.
It really seems like JHACH saved Mya from dying. If all the things that were going on were continued, also according to the moms emails to herself she was in bad shape- I don’t think she would still be alive. I don’t agree with some of the things the hospital did but they did probably end up saving her life. That’s just my opinion!
