The best part about this case is that David just beat Goliath. Maya's smaller team of lawyers just proved their case despite the endless pockets of a giant hospital and their team of world class lawyers. It's enough that even I might start praying again. So happy for the Kowalskis!
If I was on a jury , a massive team against the plaintiff would not impress me .
We need more David type wins in America. The regular people are powerless against these mammoth corporations. Unfortunately our regulations to protect us from the predators are being deregulated.
Don’t let them deregulate. That’s all the recourse we have against the powerful ultra greedy rich.
So they are trying to make people, feel guilty because they have made such a mess on treating patients horrifically. Hers a thought, many r listen to your patients and their family! And then you won’t have to worry about being sued!
You restore my faith in there being good lawyers who have compassion. And care about justice for their clients who have been treated like dirt.
@@SimplyCoachThe hospital acted reprehensibly, take away half of the documentation and they are still there. The hospital's defense team was unprofessional, unethical, and reprehensible. Sometimes things are simple-the Immediate Jeopardy declaration was spot on. They harmed children and their families. And they didn't correct the issues in a timely manner. I would not take my children to that hospital, I would not take my child clients to that hospital, and I don't want the community to have to go their either. This staff(still) has no business working with children. From cardiac to mental health they fail children. I'm not giving them a third chance and I do not care if they shut the whole place down. They had more chances than they deserved. They had Billons after COVID. Perhaps they were the ones shorting staff.
Beata was isolated, mocked, lied to, bullied, separated…all for her child! The isolation alone I cannot imagine! She was completely helpless for the baby she gave birth to, who was suffering alone. She lost all hope. RIP Beata 🙏🏻
Beata was vindicated today. God is good ❤ She is smiling down from Heaven.
As a mother I cannot imagine the pain she went through. For 3 months! 3 days would have destroyed me. 3 months!
@@mandystrong8196. Absolutely.
It’s a nightmare alright.
I have a 10 yr old daughter and I had to take breaks watching the documentary because what Beata went through was absolutely heartwrenching and horrific. I couldn’t imagine the agony of not being able to see my sick daughter - it’s every mother’s worst nightmare. Beata gave her life for her child - she’s a hero.
I am so pleased that Kyle's agony was also recognised. He's still only 14 and has already witnessed and suffered so much loss and pain
Yes only 7 at the time
I can imagine tournament tonight to that Kyle’s 14 and he’s been through more. We are home runs a lot of other people as a kid there is drama where is the candy? You never know what’s gonna happen, but Kyle he was there with John Josh you know Jack found her hanging in there why don’t know if he’s right there there, but he was still there where I’m crying background this case breaks my heart like hey I just wasn’t yours when the verdict was read in these beautiful kids holding each other for formally holding each other and I know the judge said no emotions but I’m older these kids were going to have emotions and I’m glad he didn’t like we all. Hey, I said no emotions so I’m just really relieved and happy for my Angel that maybe she can have some peace did injustice for her mother and no they can file criminal charges, and there such a thing for a murder when someone kills their selves because you bullied to death you can’t cause yourself or low you can’t cause someone else to commit suicide. You can’t do that it’s against the law covering someone on this woman who literally gave her life for her daughter I mean that is a beautiful thing I know what I’m saying is all parents usually say oh I give my life for my child. She actually gave her life for her daughter, and not in a metaphor.
@@stacyhunt4783what in actual fuck are you saying. Nothing made sense it's like gibberish
@@stacyhunt4783mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm😊A
Yes of course. It wasn't just her mother. I was not recognised when our mother died as a result of medical kidnap years ago in oz. My sister stitched it up that way. She initiated the court and spoke to lawyers. Its as if I didn't exist or that she wasn't my mother too.
John Hopkins had to know they were going to cop at least some liability, after billing the insurance company for the very disease they claimed Maya didn't have. Not to mention withholding Maya's actual doctor's advice from the judge. Thank God for Beata and her intelligence and intuition. I just wish she was alive to see the amazing children she helped raise
If she was alive , nothing would have changed.
You’d think they would have known but I really think they were delulu and surprised by the verdict. They aren’t used to being held accountable! That’s why they didn’t even really have a defense the whole time. They are used to just doing as they please and everything being business as usual
@@MotherPugger1so sad.
John Hopkins Knew The Moment Risk Management was contacted. Risk Management IS the insurer
I truly think they *intentionally* used those codes *knowing* insurance would not *question or deny* anything claimed in regards to a CRPS coded-claim, as it was already in her records, dated how far back, by how many doctors, documented accordingly *by all of them,* for the purposes of keeping claims accurate…
Had they *changed* the codes, because of their (JHACH) *suspicions,* I think Jack *and* Beata would have caught on far sooner (an interview with atty Andersons wife was done the other day on another channel, and a fellow legal rep for their law firm was whom discovered the billing code discrepancies), once receiving the *insurance* issued invoices and/or *denials of claim* due to whatever reasons, and something legal could have taken place, possibly, from a different angle, at that point in time.
But the discrepancies were not discovered until post release from hospital and were not ever denied by insurance as those *same codes* were always *in Mayas records,* prior to interacting with JHACH.
Point: they knew what they were doing and can deny it 5 ways to Sunday…. They are the only ones who would believe their own 🐮💩!
I was more broken up over the brother's tears. People forget the siblings suffer too, and Kyle also lost his mother.
He’s been so stoic… it was heartbreaking hearing his sobs…
My goodness….. I just watched again and sobbing. I have only one child. My son is my LIFE! My heart breaks for Kyle! 💔
Same. It gutted me.
Yes I was crying when he was crying. I hope they all get therapy they surely have ptsd after this.
Oh when Kyle cried I lost it?
I honestly never thought I would see the day a Major organisation, particularly a people focused organisation, would be held accountable at a corporate level like this. The case could lose on appeal, but I think it's still a win for society globally. The little people finally have the power to hold the big people accountable.
1:56 ❤
Absolutely
Yes 👏👏👏I’m in New Zealand & this has set a precedent for all child sufferers of pain, Thank you Maya 🙏❤️
Yet the big people are still refusing to be held accountable. Their press release was pathetic.
I haven't seen the Press release yet, guess I better go find it
Regarding Maya looking relieved: children carry the weight of a parent's death for less valid reasons than she has. I'm so grateful for her to have this validation that grownups were responsible, not her.
She looks distraught and not relieved , to me . Now after the case is settled , the depression will come .
@Bemma811 she literally already has depression and PTSD. she has been feeling like it's HER FAULT since 2017.
This is not a "speedy" litigation, it was held up for almost 6 years and shapiro & hunter has been invalidating her since the dependency case.
@@BlackStump172I dunno all that money might help... 🤷🏼
Did anyone else notice the “qualifications” of the JHACH CFO, Sherron Rogers? She has an undergrad degree in psychology and a Master’s degree in information science. Information science is the “new” title for library degrees. She has the very same qualifications that I have, and I am a school librarian (very proudly). I would NEVER seek to be the CFO of a non-profit children’s hospital!!! How is she qualified to be a CFO? That’s just WILD to me!
I thought it was odd too! I wanted to be a librarian when I grew up. Life led my down a different path.
Yes so incredibly odd! Like how on earth did she get there? My dad was a CFO before retiring so I know what that’s supposed to look like, sound like, have the experience of, etc. It left me not very surprised when she couldn’t name a single one of their investments and couldn’t explain the different lines of their tax return. She’s not a CPA, an MBA, no degree in finance or masters in Healthcare Administration… she just seemed either completely lying or completely incompetent. Won’t be surprised if the board replaces her after her apparent incompetence was made very obvious on the internet for hundreds of thousands to see.
Yeah I was waiting for her list of Business degrees and she is so young she certainly hasn't done on the job training. Her lack of qualifications showed in her testimony.
I've practiced law 42 years. Never cry. Now I'm crying my eyes out 😢
You look way to young !
The gift the jury gave to Maya and her family was validation!!! So many times victims suffer the most from everyone around them distrusting their story. Today, Maya is believed by a jury which is beyond anything money can buy! We love you Maya, we believe you Maya! ❤
Beautifully said!!
Exactly. I have lived Maya's life. The disappointment of people doubting, or thinking you don't deserve to smile and have fun while living in pain is difficult to live through. Fortunately, my parents believed me and I wasn't taken away from them to suffer alone for months.
@@SandyKnauerMorganIt was sheer wickedness . Science is not exact and staff needs to remember that .
Watching Kyle lose it the way he did broke me. I bawled with him. I'm so happy for them. The relief they have to feel is indescribable. This jury did amazing.
Kyle crying during documentary saying it's never gonna stop is also why that was so touching
So did I!
Yes, watching Kyle - and as a (former) catholic seeing Maya grasping her mother’s rosary as the verdict was read, just broke me. I cried big fat ugly baby tears. So much suffering, so much pain, and because two utterly vile creatures - Creepy Cathi Beady Eyes who likes to take pictures of nearly nekked young girls as she did to Maya (oh and kissing her as well and telling her she was going to adopt her wtaf 🤮) AND the repulsive, angry, rage-fueled, heartless, “child abuse specialist” arrogant beyond belief nightmare of a doctor (Smith) who has since “retired” (I bet - she deserves to have her career ended and I hope a serious investigation is done of her extremely sketchy history) - both of them set hideous examples of women in medical work and they showed that they decided Maya and her father and mother were lying before they even entered her room (imho). Disgusting.
As a person that has CRPS today was a MAJOR win for Maya and us and it was done in the very month of RSD/CRPS Awareness Month.
I am so happy for them. Now they can move and move on with their lives (assuming its not overturned).
It was brutal to watch the family cry. I know they are crying from relief and because they have been validated.
I cried with them, for the same reason. Noticed both kids cried hardest when their mother was vindicated ❤
❤
I was crying right along with them. They were heard and Maya was believed.
they are crying because they scammed the system and became ultra millionaires for no reason.
For the first time they consoled one another. Through the trial they were stoic. It's like the flood gates opened. I hope Maya's Law becomes a reality! This is for you Beata!
These kids are finally being heard and validated. Breaks my heart what they all have endured 😢
Sadly Beata isn't here, but her notes and logbooks got them to this point. Nothing can replace their mother but now the world can see what goes on behind the scenes alot more than people know
why are there so many female simps on this channel?
@@VASmom27Her absence must be really making them feel empty in side . So very sad .
We should all call JH and ask if they have an investigator that takes kids for her job and works for a private corp
It’s about time! So glad for them & the movie also explains
It’s on Netflix. They had that bottled up to long..
Not only did Maya, Kyle and Jack get the JUSTICE they deserved! But Beata got her JUSTICE too! May she now rest in peace! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️ God Bless this Jury!
The out cry from Kyle broke me more than I expected it to. I’m sure with a lot of the attention being on his sister (as it should have) to hear that they believed he was hurt too probably felt so good. I hope these kids can go on and be kids and enjoy the rest of their lives.
I think they cried over a lot of pent up stress was released when the jury believed them and they cried for their mother at the end of the day they would give it back to have her back and that is what I was feeling as I watched them cry. Such a bittersweet win for this lovely family
If you have no idea what it's like so many don't believe ya you are very lucky.
Anderson is why people hate lawyers
Agreed
Absolutely agree - this was long overdue and I am so glad they are finally being heard and believed ❤
It's weird that people are picking apart why they are crying. Should they be cheering?
Any patient who has struggled to be believed is feeling the triumph today. From being told “you can’t be in labor” to “there’s no way you could have an IC flare during pregnancy” I’ve experienced the hopelessness that comes with not being believed by medical professionals (not to the extreme of Maya’s case, ofc). It can mean not getting treatment in time or only getting treatment after years of suffering. I hope this sets precedents!
My niece went to the hospital at 9 pm and they sent her home at 1 am, saying it was Braxton hicks contractions, despite her dilating. She went home to continue contractions and almost had her baby on her front porch! Left for hospital at 5:10 am and he was born at 5:43 am. At least every other nurse on staff glared down the dum dum who sent her home. That said, if I ever could have had a second baby, I would NEVER go to a doctor who induces. That's my advice to new moms. Get a doctor who will let your baby come on your baby's terms, not their golf schedule.
🙋🏽♀️ My body is still healing from severe damage after living years with a brain tumor that was supposed to be “asymptomatic”, but I had a rare presentation. My body is still healing, but my heart healed a little today and I’m full of hope that this will change the system. Thanks to Maya and her brave mom that never backed down advocating for her daughter.
@@mombear5116yep!! I would add that most women would be better off to birth at home. Not only do homebirth midwives treat women 1000x better than most doctors but it’s cheaper and better care for mom and baby. I only paid 3500$ for my homebirth which included prenatal care, the birth and 6 weeks of post partum care. The midwives come to your house for the birth and first two post partum visits so you can actually follow orders to not leave the house the first few weeks!
God bless you
As someone with CRPS for the last 22 years due to hospital negligence I am so delighted for this family. I fought for years to get a diagnosis, I was told I was looking for attention and there was nothing wrong with me. The relief of someone believing you and being listened to is indescribable. This is a win for all people with CRPS
Her face when she realized someone finally believed her. They see her.. they heard her and her pain.
It was unbelievable..
I worked in the medical field...42 year career..
I might be an older person today..but....I can not remember even 1 time a Risk Management Team member came to any unit I worked on and asked opinions or looked at procedures...However, I do recall several times that A co-worker would report a wrong or a problem and each and every time the retaliation occurred. It always clued us in shut-up if you a need a job and a paycheck. Sad, so true and Totally happy for this justice today🎉❤
True. Happened to me too. They encourage “incident reports” for quality improvement but not really.
So unfortunate. I worked in a hospital where I knew my work was reviewed all the way up because board members came to me for more info at times. They should all be that way.
Exactly why I left management in human medicine for a career in veterinary medicine. The cover ups were atrocious.
That’s just awful
I agree! I’ve been in healthcare 18 years and the malpractice is insane. And no one ever hears about it and the hospitals never take accountability.
This jury is sending a huge clear message to Catherine bedy and JHACH! I know nothing will bring her mom back, but it's good to see JHACH being held accountable. I'm so glad Maya finally can see people believe her and has the validation that what that hospital did was wrong.
I can’t believe these educated nurses and doctors didn’t question CB & just did whatever she told them to do.
Don’t forget Dr.Sally Smith….
@@dudemorris7769 they were afraid of retaliation …. CB had Dr. Sally Smith on her side, she carried a lot of power over the doctors, social workers and families at JHACH. Sally Smith was the glue that brought all the puzzle pierced together that brutalized this family.
@@elizabeth84266 Sally Smith should probably see jail time and be stripped of her medical liscense for what she did. And the Kowalski family isnt the only family she's destroyed with no remorse. The Kowalskis are the only family that really got justice from Sally Smith. Its disgusting.
As a foster parent, this case hit close to my heart. Any time a child enters the system, regardless of how great the foster parent is, it is trauma for that child. One trauma after the next. The system is needed, for sure, but for these people to have put this girl through this, it is atrocious and unforgivable.
Beata may now rest in peace, knowing the jury, lawyers & judge took care of Maya. ❤
Yesterday I watched an interview with Maya's lawyer. He said the stress of the trial has really affected her health. He said she has leisons on her ankles. Bless her heart. I pray Maya has peace after the trial and she heals quickly.
The money doesn’t mean as much as being believed! I know that 😊
Exactly!!!
Me to all to well 🙏 amen
Exactly
To every Parent who, like I, have had Hospital staff threaten and bully you because you wanted to get a second opinion at a different Hospital, or asked too many questions, or didn't IMMEDIATELY agree to a course of treatment for your child... let's pray this will deter doctors from doing it again to us or any other innocent Parent. Doctors are not gods, and should not be allowed to treat us like they are.
I pray this Family heals and thrives. I wish them lives of peace, comfort and genuine love. 💜💜💜
I agree. I have had this happen to me. It is truly horrible. You feel helpless to protect your child. No worse feeling.
Agreed
As a nurse who worked for a big teaching hospital, I love this verdict sooooo much. That they put up the very first two nurses Maya had and who prattled on about to validate the fact that they did not actually TREAT Maya....No words to describe the MALPRACTICE that happened here.
😮
It upset when I heard some saying Maya was fake crying! I couldn't believe it. This girl just had weight lifted off her, finally someone believed her.
Me too, those tears were 8 years of fighting the fight and finally getting the knockout for herself and her family and most if all their MOTHER AND WIFE!
Anyone who says that is trolling and not even worth the time just ridiculous...
The Internet makes us aware how UNCARING and warped people are. May her brain rest from all this torture, get a trusted psychiatrist and proper individualized counseling.
God bless Jack too. That boy sobbed from his soul.
absolutely jragan05
The boy I was speaking of was Kyle, her brother. God give him special counseling individualized too. So much attention to Maya can be a strange burden on him. God watch over the children. I believe strongly they will be advocates when they get older.
I’m so happy for Maya, Kyle and Jack. They have been vindicated.
It has been an unnecessary waste of Beatas life , just because people did not care to treat her well .
This verdict will either be the best thing that has happened to the family and bring them closer to gather, or all that money will destroy them. I’ve seen it go both ways. Having hundreds of millions of dollars changes people, and not always for good.
Both Maya and Kyle cried a bit harder when the suicide of their mother was acknowledged to be caused by the ill treatment /malpractice of the Hospital. I am so glad the decision was made to acknowledge the hospital's role.
Maya has an extremely painful disease and not only did the hospital not treat it, they told her she didn't have it, and made it much worse by not treating her. They told her she was lying and did things to her to cause more pain.Maya was deteriorating so much in the hospital that her mom probably committed suicide to save her. And what's worse is that people from that hospital were talking about how her mom's crazy and disrespecting her after she died.
I think the emotion and tears were pure relief. Anything else was a bonus. My heart went out to the three of them. Poor Kyle broke my heart 😢
Oh my God I was ugly face crying. That poor kid. I feel bad for them all of course but seeing and hearing Kyle broke me. 💔
Me too on Kyle. He’s been lost in this whole thing.
Yes!
The tears are tears of grief. They have had to fight and be strong so long, and now, finally, they can let the pain of what happened, especially the death of their mother out. God give them strength and heal their brokenness. RIP Mother Kowalski.
Thank God Beaty won't be referring to her as just mom, not Mrs. KOwalski, or Beata Kowalski or Mayas mother.
Very good , descent comment. 😢
There is a reason people who work in Medical field stay with their family members stay with patient every moment. My mother had brain aneurysm with 2% survival. Stayed with her 1 1/2 months. Got in huge fight with cardiologist and when i fired him he had hospital administration HR tried and remove me. Called my attorney and they backed off. This is why this story hit so hard for so many of us. I appreciate your incredible coverage. ❤
Y'all know how scary they can be.
Didn't they force her parents to stay away?
that she reached for her brother….and they cried together. I love that and it broke me. He’s been through hell, too.
My hope is that this case will result in a systemic change at JHACH and other hospitals. The Problems came from the top. They created a culture that was not in the best interest of their patients and were more focused on profits.
Ideally JHACH and Johns Hopkins will use their dirty money and political influence to shut down evil cps kidnapping schemes.
Agreed. ESPECIALLY since part of the Netflix documentary had a portion that accused JHACH of other instances of medical kidnapping.
I absolutely agree
💯!!! This is justice for all parents too! CPS you cannot have our children!!
And I hope that these people have been fired. And that most of them are no longer employed in this profession. HORRIFIC behavior on the part of these medical "professionals." They were clearly NOT even approaching professional behavior. Emails referencing "ketamine girl??!" Unforgivable. I seriously hope they are now asking, "would you like fries with that" at their new jobs.
Man oh man the defense is for sure ticked off lol. My jaw dropped a few times on how he spoke to judge lol
They are so disrespectful, this judge has endless patience.
Rewatch crew here. Maya's tears killed me. I was crying right with her. The relief of knowing she was heard and the jury heard how a 10 yo was treated while being pulled away from her Mom was horrible. I'm happy that they looked at it from a 10 year old eyes not the Maya sitting in front of them at 13 or 15 year old. God Bless Maya and her family.
Wish i could've seen the defense team when they were reading these out. Would've loved to see both
My heart breaks for Maya and her family. I pray they can start to heal and find some peace now that justice has been served.
$200 million will definitely be a good start
Justice can not truly every be served. All we can do is make an attempt. Hopefully the people who made these evil decisions will never have the opportunity, but I doubt that.
@@senseicorey9979The money will not help the PTSD, except for allowing the family to get the best psychiatric treatment . Validation will help rather than the money . There must be a giant hole inside them .
I hope the plaintiffs open/start up a foundation, helping parents who are abused by the system the way Maya and her family was..😢🙏
I pray for that. Because over 2 hundred MILLION dollars was awarded to them just in compensation
@@aspen5159it will
Be a long time before they see any money. Years of appeals are ahead.
@@aspen5159I would hope that this is something they will do, just remember lawyers will take a big chunk of that money and all the costs they have already paid out, they will still have a huge sum if it ever gets paid after appeals ect. The hospital will fight every way they can to never pay.
But keep in mind they won’t be getting that money for a long time and God help them if the hospital appeals… they won’t get the full amount I don’t think…. But it would be perfect if they started a foundation or non- profit that helps people who have accused of medical abuse fight their cases!
@@novascotiaskater1868They will never do that.
Do you know why the Chat is the way it is??? It’s because of you!! You have the heart of a teacher!!! Always encouraging questions, always encouraging people to think about things from different angles…always admonishing people to discuss things so that you’re able to hear from us as potential jurors…I feel like I’m in a graduate level seminar 😂 My brain is nurtured here😂😂🎉🎉
❤❤❤
Completely agree!I am getting my law degree on this channel. 🥰
Yup! Just like this trial- the failures or achievements of any corporation usually starts at the top. Peter's our CEO teaching is how to be humble & fair ppl even in adversity.
Love this channel!
So true! I feel like I’ve done a minor law degree watching this channel because I understand the “why”… but I don’t even live in the US 😂
Absolutely!!!
As someone harmed by medical gaslight, this trial was re-traumatizing and at the same time so healing. It brings hope that this jury wanted to send a message to the medical community and I hope they get it. For Maya and her family, I know this won’t undo the damage, but I hope they feel validated and quoting Peter, “we believe you”.
As a CRPS warrior and a mother who had been threatened by hospitals regarding my own children, this case was extremely difficult. Thank you for breaking it down and making it easier to understand. YOU absolutely make a difference!
Not over CRPS, but I had a hospital play the blame game with my youngest. It's terrifying.
It’s like David taking on a Goliath! Bless this family! Thank you Lord for Justice!
Imagine if all hospitals and social workers(CPS) etc started having to worry about lawsuits like this and actually care about these kids. Hopefully this can inspire some change ❤️
They are used to making it impossible for justice .
Really? That's why social workers on the front lines do that job for not great pay, often put in dangerous situations, because they don't care about kids?
Give me a break.
Nobody ever talks about social workers getting injured, assaulted, or worse.. unalived on the job.
Or making recommendations to have a child removed from a home, only to be shot down by a judge. Then the child is beaten to death and CPS is blamed.
The majority of people posting would never take on the job of a social worker.
Dealing with abused and neglected kids, a bureaucracy, the court system while trying to keep kids safe is a daunting task.
Your heart will be shattered a thousand times before lunch on some days.
But you keep doing it.
So please, don't accuse them of not caring.
@@LIGal398idk if you realize that you're commenting on a video about a verdict in which CPS/Social Workers were literally responsible for traumatizing and destroying a family and directly and actively contributing to the suicide of her mother, and have ZERO remorse about it.
@@LIGal398if the social worker in this case cared, she would have listened to MKs parents and maybe the mother would still be on this planet taking care of her children
Looking back over this entire story I literally can’t imagine the pain Baeta was in. How would I feel? Her baby was being kept from her! 3 months!
3 months and knowing that Maya was in pain .Evil people and some gutless cowards .
My faith in humanity has been restored. Thank you jury for stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing. Sometimes it is difficult to do the right thing. I pray Maya and her family heal and are able to use the money to assist their healing. Maya's mother can never be replaced, which is sad. Thank you Peter for having such a great channel. You are my go-to guy when I want to listen to the law. But I would like to see more of your dad.
No no, This happens a lot more than You or others know. This happens all the time. I've seen things personally happen to people in hospitals. That would scare the shit out of you. Things that should be criminal. Most people can't afford court. And, this stuff happens alll the time.
I have been saying the same thing....took a long time. But finally got it
@@toddoshardcoremedia6589yes I have seen alot but this will hopefully help make top "suits" wake up
@@toddoshardcoremedia6589It does 100%! I have so much picture & logbook proof against my local “machine” hospital who caused me permanent lung damage in my left lung. They got away with it and they continue to grow as a monstrosity and have committed so much medical neglect/malpractice. They’re so large that no firm wants to take on the cases because it’s too much work and they don’t feel confident enough to go up against this hospital. It’s all about the money!
I’m so proud of Maya, Jack and Kyle for all they have gone through and fought back. They did what so many of us would like to be able to stand up for the little guy and make them pay for injustice.
The jury was right! As a RN for 26+ years and most of that in a large hospital system I can totally see how this could have happened!!!
Rewatch crew here…all I see on Maya’s face is a scared and then relieved little girl. This is heartbreaking because you know there is so much this doesn’t change…RIP Beata..❤
Victory for Maya
I cried along with the Kowalksis as the verdict was read. I watched every single day of this trial and I firmly believe that the jury made the right decision. Thank you Peter for covering this trial and answering our questions about legalese and the legal process. I know that they still need to hear testimony on punitive damages and rule on those, but this was such a pivotal verdict.
I burst into tears when they read that verdict too!
This whole case really hit home for me. My daughter is 10. She is healthy. Its every parents worst fear for their child be very sick. I can't imagine. Ive always trusted our doctors. I just can't fathom how people could take advantage of a family thats just looking for help with their sick child. Its literally hard to believe the things they did to this family and this little girl.
I am soooo thankful for this jury!!! All the suffering this family has had to go through to get justice is immense!!!❤❤❤❤
Peter, I heard you talking about how we would be surprised at some of the people that watch your channel and are impressed with the people in the chat.

Well said.
I’ve been in and out of hospitals for 2 years and even as an adult you feel so indebted and dependent on the nurses and doctors. I cannot imagine how frightened everyone in that family felt. It’s been fascinating following this trial with TLYN! Especially watching your reaction/comments as the lawyers interact with the judge! Thank you, Peter!
This case was not on my radar until I heard the verdict and punitive award for damages. I watched the Netflix documentary to catch up on the specifics of the case and then came to Peter's channel to get the legal analysis. What a tragedy this family suffered, but the jury restored my faith in justice and humanity. I believe that Beata's suicide was the ultimate sacrifice of a mother to save her daughter. The hospital had clearly signaled to Beata that they were keeping Maya hospitalized to "protect" her from her mother. Beata's death put the gears in motion for Maya to be released to the loving care of her father. I was amazed at the number of parents and children who appeared in the documentary who had suffered similar circumstances including false imprisonment. Suspicions of child abuse should always be taken seriously, but the cases should be investigated responsibly and in the best interest of the "victims" and to make every effort to do no further harm. My prayers are with the Kowalski family as they continue to heal, grieve for Beata and to Maya as she deals with chronic pain and health issues. She is such a beautiful soul and deserves to live a pain-free and productive life.
I'm so happy with this outcome. I really do feel sorry for the son as much as Maya. Imagine standing by watching all of this occur. This is a vindication that their mother wasn't mentally ill but, in fact, sacrificed herself to save her child. She's a damn hero in my mind.
What a long road for this family... I'm thankful that they got their verdict today. Prayers for the best for all of them.
Prayers it never happens to anyone else .
@@peggypasson8794It will !
Educated DOCTORS did this to a CHILD. that should be a CRIME. I’m a nurse, that comes in after the bomb of a high level tag. When a hard headed nurse with their loyalty to the establishment instead of the patient this is what the fallout looks like. I have literally said “when you sign that note, think about what side of the courtroom you will be on, the gallery or the witness stand. Your note could be read in a million ways, by 100 people. Think critically, and calmly.
I have watched this verdict several times, when their mother was vindicated, both of their sobs were raw. I believe this family will take this money and do something great in their mother's memory. Rest easy, Beata! Your precious family told your story beautifully!❤️
My family experienced similiar conduct from a local childrens hospital. Shameful, they get away with this behavior repeatedly. That is why they were so bold, it's the culture at certain childrens hospitals. We saw a couple attorneys, they wouldn't touch it. Indiana.
It’s teaching hospitals too. Firms don’t want to take on my case because of the work that would be involved and not enough of a return of money! It’s gross medical negligence.
I'm so pleased for the family! Jack, Maya, and Kyle, I hope you find peace in the years to come. Rest in peace, Beata. ❤
I am so happy! Hopefully this sets the right precedent for other hospitals staff who thinks they can do this.
I can feel the child's emotions, I know that the one thing she wants right now more than anything else is to hug her mother. I'm sure her brother and father feel the same way.
I am so glad with this verdict. I remember when this was all going on. I was actually at the hospital with my own child, a baby in the NICU. I had to fight the hospital to bring her home. Nurses helped me because they could see what the doctors and staff were doing. Even after many of her specialist where their. I was so scared we could find ourselves in the same situation. Now parents can fight back. This win is huge.
I wish I would have had the where with all after my dads suicide to sue Stanford Hospital psychiatric facility. It was straight forward to me they discharged him and left him to go home and sort it out himself. I was just so devastated… I’m thankful Maya and her family have been validated ❤️
God bless you dear heart, 😔💜🙏🏻
So sorry for your loss.
I also lost a niece after multiple hospitalizations and attempts. However, sometimes we just can’t stop that forward trajectory when a person is so hopeless and wants to tap out.
You did the best you could do. Love yourself a little more over such a sad situation.
I am so sorry for your loss of your precious dad. Knowing that the psychiatric facility was (at least partially) responsible has to add so much anger and pain. May he rest in peace. Emphasis: he is at peace. Sending you comfort and wishes for your peace, also. Take Care.
Mental health care in the U.S. is currently unforgivably deficient. I’m so sorry for your loss 💔 🙏
I am so sorry for your loss!!
I've been dealing with depression for over 30 years...I can only remember the feeling started around nine. I was prob born that way? Enough of me! I know the pain and suffering that your dad went through, and the pain and devastation you're feeling now. I will say a little prayer for you both 🙏🥹
My daughter was a teenager went to JHACH in st.perte also they claimed for ten years my daughter had a brain tumor! Guess what she doesn't! Shes now 24 its been a shock! Good for her and her family.
Omg… did they treat her for it??? Did the do surgery for a fake diagnosis?? I’m so sorry this happened to your family ❤
Wow! That’s terrible. I’m so sorry you went through that.
So they had Maunchausens !!
I hear that’s actually not uncommon. Always get a second opinion for cancer diagnosis! What’s crazy though is for children if you try and get a second opinion they often take your child away saying you are withholding lifesaving care.
I have absolutely no doubt that this family would give up every penny they've been awarded if they could just have Beata back. 💚
😭😔🙏
Totally agree
I found it telling that Maya and Kyle's sobs occurred during the affirmation of wrong doing by the hospital. Validation of their claims, not the dollar amounts. Also the loss of Beata caused them all to sob!
I cried listening to this while in the car on the way to my daughters dr. Appointment who has this exact same thing! My daughter will have surgery on her spine in a few months. 🙏 So glad this family will get SOME compensation for their trauma.
I cried on my way home from work also! My children do not have crps or anything like that, but we’ve been medically gaslighted so many times. I feel like this is a big win for all patients who are chronically ill.
I suffer with CRPS after many decades of misdiagnosis & so many drs changing my diagnosis & adding more than 31 conditions of all non curable diseases before they diagnosed me with CRPS. I’m middle 50’s & have lived in severe pain since I was 27 years old. I’m so happy they were validated and are going to be awarded damages. She’ll never get her Mama back or the family ever healed, it will allow them to move on.
Thinking of you and your daughter and wishing you well! I don't have CRPS, but do have lifelong pain since childhood due to EDS and understand the struggle. You've got this mama! Oh also I sobbed like I haven't in a long time watching Maya get her justice. Husband had to remind me to breathe lol.
My daughter in law had EDS and was in so much pain.
It was so hard on her husband and son.
@jessicaconrad7309 couldn't agree more! We have been fairly lucky and have had great dr.s who have been working with this condition for years. I absolutely can not imagine what that must have been like for their family.
Replay - Such a very long road for these 3 victims. To Beata - This jury took care of Maya, your beautiful, strong daughter. Love to Jack, Maya, Kyle, and Beata.❤
That is what I though, this jury granted Beata’s last wish. They took care of Maya.
@chase8454
I have kept it together all day until I read your comment. Beautifully said🤗
@@jenniferthomas5926So many tears today. I’m a mom, and my heart is broken for Beata. No way I could begin to imagine her thoughts 24 hours following the “no, you cannot hug your daughter”. Brings tears to my eyes just typing this reply. God bless Beata.
@@lhr8833You brought tears to my eyes . You understand.
I cried the entire time right alongside Maya and her family ❤They were finally heard🙏🙏now her mom can rest in peace ❤❤
What’s most poetic here: the same persons who tried to make sure Beata would never get work again … THEY now wear that Scarlet Letter … and it fills me w GLEE.
I am so happy for Maya, her father and brother ❤️
The pressure that is released from the young women and her father is good to see great jury
Thank you Mya, Jack and Kyle (and never forget Biada) for your bravery, patience and determination. This will help ALL future patients and their families ❤
Beata
This chat is incredible. After watching law and crimes chat I was disgusted and disturbed at what I saw. There is a wonderful community here. Thank you
Lots of people were denied the right to visit their families during COVID. Nursing homes became prisons and people were denied time to spend with their dying loved ones. Those folks had terrible emotional distress.
But it was to protect, not torture them. Huge difference. Same was true with TB and other airborne contagious diseases.
My dad had pancreatic cancer during covid. I was a loud to work at the hospital but not aloud to see him. However I was having surgery the same day as my dad and they put us in the same wake up room so he could at least see me. He past not long after but he got to see me and I know how much it ment to him
Many elderly died from Covid , but many more would have died if isolation did not happen . That does not make the rules less painful .😊
When something awful happens to you and the other party tries to gaslight you or tells you you are just plain wrong, all you really want is for someone to believe you/to have to your back. The family will never get their wife/mother back. No amount of money can bring her back nor heal the family of its loss.
I watched every single grueling minute of this trial for 8 weeks straight.
That jury gave Maya & her family such a gift today. They are finally heard, seen, and validated!! The testimony & evidence was absolutely mind boggling- the things that hospital/CPS put them through is heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, things like this happen a lot more than we think- CPS getting involved from a doctors visit or ERA visit. People actually get their kids taken away for those things- innocent families are put through the wringer.
I hope this sends a big message to hospitals/doctors.
It's fun to see Peter's passion/excitement in a case.
I agree Peter. The minute 'yes' came out the first time, the relief was immediate and palpable for us to see. You could tell 100% that poor family barely heard the amounts...they heard 'yes' on every count and that's what mattered to them. Rightly so. The only question I had was Bedy offering Maya comfort and putting her on her lap. I missed the context in this story and I would say that without it, I struggle to think of that as battery. It's human nature to try and comfort a child BUT if Maya resisted and it went ahead anyway then yes, of course. I just don't know that part in its entirety. (Sorry, I just got to the part where you explained that part, thank you!). They got justice and they got heard. Amazing! I keep thinking of Kyle crying at the end of the Netflix documentary that it will never be over...I hope they all find some sort of peace now that it's over and they were believed.
Children can’t consent. Period. Doesn’t matter if they agree. Parents must give consent first. Very unequal power dynamic between a child and an adult, let alone a child held hostage in a hospital vs a social worker convinced she’s faking.
@@hostronic Yes agreed. Thank you. It's a different world now to the one I grew up in. I suppose it's hard to not hug a child if they're upset but of course it shouldn't happen without parental consent. This whole case is terrifying and heartbreaking!
Very cathartic for the family, obviously, what a flood of tearful relief and just pent up stress. Crying is healing. After the tragedy of Beata’s death, all their various difficulties and pain, and all the gaslighting from the hospital. So happy they won 👍🔥
I'm not an emotional guy but watching that verdict being read had me tearing up. Thanks for your excellent coverage and insight throughout this trial. Definitely the best UA-cam coverage I watched over these many weeks! 💪
Oh my. ThIs sweet girl is holding onto her Rosary Beads like a lifeline. I saw the verdict read live and was crying too. God Bless this family and may they be able to heal a bit and move forward. ❤
I am So happy for the Kowalski family. Thank you Lord Jesus for bringing truth to light.🙏
I didn’t follow this trial, but based on the proverbial clean sweep from the jury I need to check in on the Cliffs Notes. Being familiar with health care, this seems like a staggering award that should get some attention.
I wasn't super familiar either. I found some recaps online. In a nutshell Maya has a rare syndrome that has her body sending out pain signals called CRPS? Maybe I have the acyrom wrong. So a doctor prescribed her Ketamine and she even went to Mexico and got alot of Ketamine while in a coma over 5 days and afterwards she was doing much better and the pain was gone. The theory is that the Ketamine was to reset her pain receptors. Well when she relapsed in regards to the pain her parents took her John Hopkins All Children's Hospital and her mom was pushing Ketamine because that's what the doctor she had been seeing explained to her mom is what Maya needed. Her mom being a nurse took extensive notes and was being pushy because her daughter was in pain. The hospital called CPS on the parents and kept Maya hostage at the hospital for 92 days. Maya was not getting the treatment she needed because she was getting worse during that period of time. The hospital failed to do the research on her syndrome and failed to talk to the doctor that was prescribing her ketamine and ask why he was doing it. John Hopkins billed the insurance company for the syndrome repeatedly but on the side was telling CPS that they didn't believe she actually had that syndrome and that it was munchhausen or munchausen by proxy even though another doctor eventually confirmed that she really did have this rare pain syndrome. The hospital even went as far as banning her from being able to get Ketamine as any sort of treatment. 5 days after her mom unalived herself Maya was finally released back into custody of her father. It goes much farther and deeper than that but that is the nutshell version. I might have to watch the whole trial.
I certainly hope so! I also hope other hospitals take heed and make changes to their treatment of children and their families!
It doesn't bring her mother back an the emotional physical damages 😭 I'm glad the jury saw the truth . God help us all .I to have chronic pain .I can so relate to the treatment or lack there of . 😢😢😢 The first Dr says I can't give you drugs ? Say what ? I'm not here for drugs I'm want the pain addressed.its Really so very sad 😭😭😭 for a little girl an family it had to be horrendous . Prayers 🙏 thanks lawyer for you're accurate info.
@@indayloveschocolateit's kinda scary because what if ...........others where affected by this Dr an so called medical staff that made the call to keep her 😢😢😢
petes summary's are better than spending hours watching live. He'll play some key moments but cut 6 hrs down to 1
Congratulations on the kind words you've received. Your leadership, always stating our groups purpose by setting the expectations, is just part of the reason we have a strong community of respectful individuals eager to learn, and understand law. You make a difference larger than you realize. Onward and upward. 🎉🎉🎉
Sadly this type thing doesn’t only happen in hospitals, happens in doctors offices, clinics and specialists ALL over the US!!! THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS should be REQUIRED to seek education about a condition before attempting to treat said condition so they have a very precise understanding of the patients disease!!!!!!
THANK GOD for the Jurors and this judicial system, her lawyers for serving the justice that was deserved!!!
You are spot on! Just because a medical professional has never treated a rare disorder before, does not mean it doesn't exist. As a person with CRPS, I can tell you many things done by JHACH under the guise of treatment were actually extremely harmful to someone with CRPS.
And continued education in said area. Some relay in what they learned in college and bluntly tell the patient impossible for them to have those symptoms from this condition. That is how they gaslight rare presentations. Of you lose curiosity and the desire to learn, you should change careers.
Watching the reactions during the reading of her mothers damages was too much, had to take a break. I hope this jury has given the family some relief knowing they are believed
❤so happy for Maya ....take care girl may you and your family be blessed always
I was SO HAPPY to hear this verdict! As a mother with 2 special needs kids who I tried for YEARS to get help for (and also being a nurse), this is so needed for this family. As I watched the trial, it was apparent to me that Beata Kowalski committed suicide ONLY because she desperately wanted Maya to be able to return home to her family who would take care of her and that wouldn't happen as long as she was around and potentially able to see Maya. She would (and DID) literally anything she could to make sure Maya was not put into foster care or have to endure more suffering. This was Justice as our system was designed to work. I grieve for this family.
Totally agree her mother took her life to save Maya. As a former nurse practitioner and a person and a mother, I would’ve done the same thing.
I’m still shocked that they tried to pin a MSBP diagnosis on Beata!
Breaks my heart… their sobs are crushing me. I can’t imagine their pain/grief/loss.
I am so glad that Maya and Kyle's long and difficult fight for justice for their mom was successful.... they can rest assured that it was not her fault, or their fault or Jack's fault.... it was JHACH. Their struggle isn't over by a long mile but they can to heal ❤
An rest assured change will happen so this never happens again 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What justice? The hospital loses a ton of money. The people who actually did all this stuff, most who still very much work there will continue to work there.
Sally Smith still has her hospital privileges so she's still doing the same stuff for them. All the doctors who lied about Maya not having CRPS while at the very same time billed for treating CRPS still work there.
Shapiro could only say Bedy no longer works there repeatedly. He said that because the jury saw all the people who still very much do work there.
None of those people will ever face any consequences for this. The next time they do this to a family the rules of court will never allow them to be questioned on this. Just like in this case the plaintiffs couldn't bring up all the times JH did this exact same thing to other innocent families.
There's people in prison right now who all these people we saw in this case put there falsely. They're not getting out because they were all too poor to fight the case. They plead guilty giving up their right to appeal.
All these people before this case were known in the area for what they do. It didn't stop one single innocent family from suffering.
This case highlights how broken our justice system has become. Way too focused on bullshit rules and not giving a flying fuck about the truth.
Because of the rules of our courts people like Sally Smith can never have her expert opinion questioned. All the times she has lied and gotten it wrong before can't be used against her in any case in the future. Tomorrow she could go into a family court and lie her ass off and not only won't the family be able to question it she'll never be held accountable if caught.
Justice would be prison sentences for every single doctor, nurse, and everyone else who lied under oath. Justice would be putting Sally Smith in prison. Not letting her live in the life of luxury on a doctor's salary.
Justice, real justice won't happen. People will be satisfied with this big award and not demand anyone go to prison for what they did to this family.
Hey, let’s give some credit to Anderson and Whitney! WELL DONE!! BRAVO!!
I was able to keep it together in watching other streams, but watching yours, Peter was something else! I cried….hearing YOU talk about this was different because you are so unbiased, clear minded and fair! I appreciate your opinion over other UA-camrs! Thank you for your kind, caring and compassionate opinion!! ❤
