RAW: Cathi Bedy continues testimony in Kowalski case
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2024
- Social worker, Catherine 'Cathi' Bedy, took the stand today.
Witness testimony continued in a $200 million lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital that was featured in the Netflix documentary ‘Take Care of Maya’. In 2016, at just 10 years old, Maya Kowalski was admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital for severe pain and was removed from the custody of her parents after staff accused them of "medical abuse." Her mother, Beata Kowalski, hung herself in her garage on Jan. 7, 2016 after going months without seeing her due to the medical abuse allegations, according to the family's attorney, Greg Anderson.

It’s still funny to me that they continue to deny her having CRPS yet were billing for CRPS. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
She can change her hair and dress but she is still a snake in the grass.
Amen!!
I thought it was her. Geez. Like it's a new her but same ole slimming pos.
Amen
Yes!!
Agree with you Donna....I would never trust ,,,she is a true snake in the grass.
This unethical deranged and dangerous social worker should forever lose her license this is the grossest behavior and her intentions were beyond unprofessional
Another one who looks the other way when the lawyer asks her questions, to make her arrogance clear and make herself look nice. One can easily imagine the experience of that girl, ❤😢 looking at her and following her with desire, 🤤 a phallic-lexhbian (?). And yes, a narcissist will never admit a mistake, but she will never stop doing it if it seems good to her, and she doesn't get caught.
She belongs in prison.
Way to go jury great job catching her in lies...
Very sad and disturbing that this woman does not think she did anything wrong. The Mom is dead because of her.
So sad....they simply don't care. The husbands a bigger man than me.
I would go hard.... There is no justice
Moms dead over this woman’s blatant lies & it even seems she has severe amnesia on the stand. The poor girl has been through so much as is & to take her child over the little girl being in pain constantly, is disturbing. I’m an adult, been diagnosed with the same condition after 20 years of being diagnosed with more than 30 separate illnesses, all relic each other, & it’s mentally exhausting in itself to always put on a happy face when you’re in pain & don’t want others to see it. I believe Bedy needs to be charged with Munchausen by proxy herself. For the abuse this woman put this family through she should have lost any of her pensions, immediately be charged with child abuse, neglect, child pornography, SA as the photos were never used & had No permission to take them & any other charges they can find
@@dudemorris7769 100%
Sad thing is.... I think the mom knew this was the only way to get the attention for her case it deserved.
She's a true warrior. Many ppl say I'd lay my life down for my child but they wouldn't do it.
She did. God bless her and the family
I completely agree with u.
She should be sued and the hospital pay out millions as well as remove many of the doctors from their current position.
I'd say fire them..I don't want them in FL, but at least we know where they r if they keep them all together.
It's disgusting. Clear cases of abuse. They never act soon enough, or they'll send the kid back to an unstable home, but when a child is in a loving home and well taken care of, they seem to always fight 10x harder to remove the child when they're called out on a b.s. call
@@dominicdangelo4801Bullseye!
She sexually exploited this girl in more ways than one.
I have never heard of staff in a hospital taking photos of a child without parental permission. This was outrageous. FYI that little girls mother was a nurse and not an abuser. I do not leave my child’s bedside in hospital. This poor mother was forced to. Shocking
I wasn’t sure how that worked being that she was in state custody? Or was she not in state custody yet?
She will claim that CPS had custody of the Child. Since the Parents had never abused the Child she was in the wrong no matter what she did or how she did it .
Cathy Beaty has got to be one dim crayon . I mean she knew without a doubt information that HELPED her . Yet she “can’t remember” information that is pertinent in proving they neglected that poor girl . She along with everyone else was determined NOT to admit any wrong doing
It's normal for DCF to take pictures of children. The problem with Cathy Beady is she along with Dr Sally Smith Is ignored the original court order from a Judge who never said anything about Maya's mother not being allowed supervised visitations. JHH failed this family by allowing 💔 😢CB SM to abuse power it's very difficult to believe that the doctors nurses even head of their administration didn't At least question there intent they were all responsible for their actions 😢 i still don't understand why CB SM aren't facing criminal charges for this?
@@mikeskidmore6754Doesn't matter a judge never said Maya's mother wasn't allowed supervised visitations 😢
I wish that the attorney would have said to her, “If you cannot hear in the patient’s room from the nurses station, what is the point of leaving the door open?”
I am a pediatric nuse who has never in 25 yrs took pictures of a child let alone without parental consent. Not allowing her mother there is absolute cruelty....! Even if child abuse was 'suspected'..the mother should have been there with a sitter in the room...this is outrageous
Completely. A parent should never lose custody for a flimsy maybe. They truly inflicted terror on this family.
And the judge who prevented her mom from hugging her is SICK!
Welcome to modern times nurse😢
Maya's nurse was a nurse. What do you think of that?
Thanks for your comment. May I ask you this? Is what was done to Maya, ..the pictures, a form of sexual assault or molestation - and can the social worker, nurse and mystery pair of hands be charged? Thanks for not laughing at my question. I'm appalled by all of this lying, double-talk etc.
It's pretty scary that social workers, doctors, and whoever else are allowed to take over the care of a child and completely obliterate the rights of the parents just by accusing them of child abuse be they be grounded in facts or not.

As an RN, there is no way I would have participated in those photos. I would not have allowed the social worker to take them against that child’s will. I would have told the Dr to come and take the photos herself. There was zero patient advocacy going on there!
Yes ! Agree , it is the role of the Nurse to advocate on behalf of their patient !
My son went to the hospital with anxiety. A social worker pink slipped him after spending a few minutes with him. This was the beginning of the end for my son. They threw so many psychotropic drugs at him that threw him right over the edge. He’s no longer alive and I’m left with profound grief.
I’m so sorry to hear that. You are in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
This is the worst thing I have heard. I don't trust Social Workers either, they are not as evidence based as other scientific disciplines. Do you have any ideas for how you may get through this immense suffering?
I am so sorry.
💔I cannot imagine your heartbreak, and I am sure, anger at what has happened to you. This never should have happened and my heart goes out to you. So sorry, but know more words are no comfort.
Bedys' testimony is over staged and over rehearsed. Bedy has been well coached by the defense, and you can tell because she knows precisely what questions she is going to be asked or which subjects she is going to be pulled up on. Then she sprouts her pro-forma response. This is how abusers get away with violating others. They use their power and position to deny that any of these alleged wrongs occurred. So how does any victim prove it. Bedy honestly believes that she is above reproach and obviously not able to consider another's perspective or accept any responsibility whatsoever.
Judging by the questions that the jury are asking, they seem quite smart too. Hopefully, they may see Maya's truth and that there was no reason for this shelter.
Oh, check out Jacks' reaction to hearing Bedy lie under oath!
Just becaz she was released back to her family does not mean there was no reason to not test hypothesis of munch by prox
@pibarrante6901
BS....MBP is so rare.
In 29 years, I never had one case.
This is a staged set up 4 sex trafficking. They scream MBP and then place your child in foster care.
Then, they lose your child in the system and your child ends up in Dubi in a Hiram. They have done this since 9/11 constantly.
Maya would bring a quarter of a million dollars 💸 on the web.
💣💥🇺🇸⚠️
@@pibarrante6901BEATA DID NOT MEET THE DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR MUNCHAUSENS.
Every word you said sounds copied from everyone else on here. You should think for yourself
@buschovski1 Just because it sounds like what everyone else is saying, why are you assuming she is not thinking for herself?
She was reported by some other parents for mistreatment as well after this whole case came out in the open.
Yes, she was actually arrested for child abuse on another case!
@@DR-mq1vnwowww!! Really?!? Do you have details of the case? I’d like to read about it although it doesn’t seem like such a stretch considering her behaviour in this case.
Not surprising.
Yes, not the first time
@@melonmelon7427It's in the Netflix docu
I’m finding it really hard to believe that one hospital had that many cases of Munchausen by proxy because it’s an extremely extremely rare mental health disorder. For one hospital to have two or three before Maya, and then several after is ludicrous, - Munchausen by proxy syndrome is a relatively rare disorder. In general medicine, about 1 percent meet the criteria for Munchausen by proxy that the incidence of Munchausen syndrome by proxy is 0.4/100.000 among children aged below 16 years and 2-2.8 per 100,000 among children aged below 1 year
Also, this woman saying that she never documented anything goes against all kinds of protocols in place by hospitals, especially dealing with minor children. Everyone and I mean everyone writes in the chart what they do with the child if the child goes anywhere, etc. You will see double triple quadruple documentation about one event, especially if that child is under a court order being protected. Also, she’s not answering the questions.
Lie!
The simple truth is that this woman didn't like Maya's mom and derived pleasure from tormenting her.
This demon lady didn't care she just loved having that power!!! What a disgrace to all social workers!!!
The CDC and Dr. Fauci suddenly declared, without any basis in FACTS, that the vast majority of people were "Sick and/or Potentially Sick and/or a Super Spreader and/or an Unessential Worker that needed to be 'Officially Quarantined" even if healthy with ZERO Symptons for 2-wks to 2 yrs! And for effect, forcibly Masked Up with or without your Con-sent! Next, Man-datory Vaccines to qualify to work, go places and do basic Human Activities and Excercise Common Law Rights and God given Inalienable FREEDOMS subject to No mortal Masters of Vaccine Passports! That IS Munchausen Syndrome by RICO Racketeering Rat Bastards and S & M Satanic Scumbags! And the vast Democratic Majority, fell hook, line and sinker for this papal Bull Shite!
It's called 'Here's how I justify my job-I claim to find lots of these cases' and it's called governmental control and persecution of families. Glad the Kowalskis won.
This woman needs to be charged for the crimes she committed against this child and her family. She caused the death of her mother over the constant berating of care to the young girl when her family had every right to ask for what they needed. This little girl was abused mentally for years by this demon lady.
She seems to be only one of an army of people who failed this little girl and her family. 😠
The mother died at her own hands. Yes, she suffered severe mental distress, but she should’ve sought care and involved her husband in how she was feeling. You can’t blame anyone else when a person commits suicide. Who would you blame for Robin Williams death?
@@moniquebreton5809 If you watch the Netflix documentary - in the last hearing where the Judge delaying the trial for years, Beata (Maya's mother) asked if she could HUG her child and was denied that right. She went home and hanged herself - knowing that was the only way to get treatment and justice for her suffering child. Talk about sacrifice.
You all realize the hospital held this child without a court order which came later and threatened to arrest the parents. They still do not have proof of wrong doing 7 years later.
The hospital needs to pay for this one it’s real life and it’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen
They outrightly abused that little girl without question!!! The power these people wield over children and their families is frightening to say the least!!!
Yes, we need to get rid of CPS in hospitals. It keeps people from bringing kids in who need care. This is because of Killary's Child Welfare Act she had pushed through giving CPS unimaginable power over children. They will use all sorts of threats to get a child to agree with them or keep them under control A hospital is NO place for CPS. #bancpsinhospitals
truly is isnt it.
This woman is vile and hope other families in that area remember her face and stay alert whenever she comes in on their child. Unthinkable the trauma they put Maya and her family through.
Oh shes evil, awful human being. Poor Maya, at the hands of a real devil.
She's gonna get fired forever from this role...

Fun fact Social Workers are not Evidence Based, it's not part of their training.
I'm just sorry Bedy & Smith did not get jail time.
We don't know if the mother was innocent. If she killed herself should could have felt guilty for causing this. People do all kinds of crazy things for many different reasons, including faking illness for sympathy or money.
@@First-Last-108 The evidence in this case did not support your 'we don't know' claim. That is why there was a long trial with multiple witnesses and documents published. So these conclusions can be reached on the weight of probabilities.
It's strange how her voice is so soft and sweet here, when it was NOT during her deposition. Creepy
Exactly her voice is so creepy and annoying
It's a ploy by liars.
That smirk is gone too
On the phone with Maya's mom she was mean and hostile.
How can she say to an emotional little girl, that her mom is in mental hospital and that she will adopt her and even tried to convince Mr. Jack to divorce Mrs. Beata. Cruel to the fullest. She should be put in jail and pay for the damages she caused which is beyond repairable.
Cathi Bedy is DISGUSTING!!!
There is no testimony to that effect.
I worked at DCF . Always get a signed consent. She knows better and sucks in her job. Documentation of verbal abuse is vital to be included in the progress notes!
Right. If you didn’t document it, it didn’t happen. That’s a basic rule in child protection
Cuz she's lying.
Notice how the defense have all their stories synchronized.
These "professionals" are doing the same thing on the stand that they did in the hospital to this family. Group Think. bully & get as many people as possible to blame the family. While denying any wrongdoing. Bedy was completely rehearsed and fake on the stand yesterday.
Besdy's voice in court and on the phone are completely different
This woman got on my nerves....😡
Me too! I would hate to have her in charge of someone I loved!
Yeah imagine her taking care of your child.
Same, how is she in the field she is in?
A lot of sociopaths are attracted to social work unfortunately. Control
That's true
I would be really pissed if I found out any hospital staff, no matter who they are or what their job is, put my kid on their lap. It's gross and very near molestation. I don't care what the intention is/was. NO! (Specifically for kids over 2 or 3).
Especially when her mom wasn’t allowed to see her,and hold her.
It’s also to protect staff as well
This women is pure evil. Putting a child on her lap kissing cuddling her. Holding her down to take photos while the child is crying and saying no. She’s sick in the head.
I taught for 33 years and would NEVER do that! It's disgusting! What is her freak agenda?
Cathi Bedy's true demeanor and personality are shown in the deposition. Here she knows she is being filmed and it will be shown all over, so she is putting on. She is not a nice person.
I’d love to see the Behavior Panel take her on.
I'd like to see them analyze her deposition, which is showing her true demeanor and personality. This today was a show because she knew she would be on the internet. The deposition, she didn't know that, so it is showing her true self.
Right!!!!
@@Khealey84i cant stand those 4 clowns.
She is looking at the jury just like Amber Heard 😂
She was swaying back and forth I know that means something disceptive
There is a code that requires a parent to confess to the crime even if they are false allegations made by DCF. Look it up. This child was kidnapped from her parents and held against her will.
This woman is lying and knows nothing. I hope the junors can latch onto that
AGREE, she is lying absolutely. Even her voice and how she is talking. Is disingenuous! Ugh!
Thank God she n dr Smith get involved. You don't see before you all of the kids who are permanently scarred and injured becaz of munchausens. You dontsee the kids who have been rescued. This woman would be damned if she does, damned if she doesn't react.
😢😢😢 over photographs. OMG. REALLY? Too bad they weren't castration maya or adding a penis..consent not needed there. Maya is a brat, and she was throwing a tantrum because she had to wait for this hot session ...delaying her going to court. 😢😢😢 how ten years old of her. The photos actually served her well - they helped to prove mom wasn't abusing her. Yet, everyone wants to be advised by a ten year olds likes n dislikes. Give me a break. Maybe we should let them decide isreal/hMas
Judging by the questions the jury are asking they are very smart. Thank goodness because you need to be to see through this Narcissistic Sociopath. They are all the same, predators always present with a thick veil of perfection and the authentic person can feel the incongruency.
Can someone please explain to me why Bedy has not or cannot be criminally charged and put in prison?? She deserves to lose her license, never be allowed near another child for the rest of her life, and rot in prison for AT LEAST 10 years, preferably 20. An entire family was ripped apart, broken beyond repair forever, and this disgusting woman played a huge role in that. I just dont understand how after being found guilty for wrongdoing in this case, she could STILL maintain her position working with other children.. it is beyond ludicrous, beyond DISGUSTING, completely incomprehensible.
facts
At this point, the family can file a criminal complaint against her, if they haven't already. Whether or not the DA accepts the case, is another matter.
SHE WAS ADVISED BY RISK MANAGEMENT AND WAS FOLLOWING THEIR ORDERS
@@susansharp112 Did you watch the trial? Do you not believe Maya? Do you think Maya is a liar? Did you not hear how she told Maya that her mother was crazy and was in a mental institution? How she asked Maya's father if he had considered divorcing his wife? How Maya, a 10 year old child,, VEHEMENTLY HATED this woman for the way she treated her and her family? Do you not consider it even remotely inconsiderate and unprofessional that Baedy told Maya she would adopt her and be her mother? And not only that, but continued to touch Maya in ways that made her feel uncomfortable and even violated? Just asking, because she was not told by risk management to do ANY of those things.
She needs to be criminally charged with sexual assault and battery.
The fact that during the phonecalls beata was told multiple times not to talk about specific things to a child she made and birthed is despicable. I couldnt imagine her mothers suffering and yet she kept as cool as she could under the circumstances. She made the ultimate sacrifice to save her little girl.
This woman and that demonic nurse need to go to jail
She is nasty and loves to torment little kids. She is sick and should be thrown in jail. Ripping families apart just to get off on it. SMH 🤦♀️ makes me so mad!
Yes - Sadistic. Between her and Sally Smith - they enjoyed the process of torturing Maya and the Kowalskis. Power trip.
The child was upset because of what Bedy & Smith were doing to her. OMG! This is a no brainer.
??? Have you ever worked on a pedes unit?? Doesn't sound like it . I can tell you, most kids hate to go to the doctors office. Multiply that x 24/7 for hospitalization. Maya is a brat. We don't allow 10yo to declare what procedures are good for them based on what they do and do not like. Photos are perfect example..as these photos served her well.. yet, 5yrs later, here we are...
Oh. If she wanted to be sterilized, or add a tallywhacker, that wouldn't need consent. SMH. The world we live in.
Maya said she was po'ed... BECAZ she wanted to go to court asap and this delayed that. She's a brat.
@@pibarrante6901maya has a pain condition she went to the bathroom on herself cause the nurses didn’t believe her how is she a brat?
@@pibarrante6901and her mom committed suicide cause she couldn’t see her kid! Your on the wrong side of history your the brat
@@pibarrante6901Do you know this child? To call her a brat after what was done to her, makes you no better than this pos testifying!
So she won’t look at the jury during plaintiff’s attorney’s questioning but only during defense questioning. Gee that doesn’t look the least bit hinky
She stated that maya didn’t cry when pictures were taken, but the report clearly states she was tearful
She did ignore the guidelines.
Oh, she understands his question!!
Interesting how she smiled at the attorney for Johns Hopkins but is frowning and clearly distressed when the Kowalski’s attorneys question her. She is very bad at playing dumb-I don’t know, I don’t know, I’d have to look… I can’t speak to that… I’d have to look at my notes X 100… it’s crazy for a nurse/social worker caring for children she sure doesn’t know very much!! Plausible deniability is what they call it.
Yeah but she remembers what bra Maya was wearing & when!! 🤦🏼♀️🙄
@@angelabiery-jones5556 Yes, so odd. I mean what was REALLY going on here?
She gives me the creeps.
Is she supposed to happy? Of course it will be that way
@@buschovski1If she was innocent, there wouldn’t be a need for her swinging attitude.
This will FOREVER taint the reputation of John Hopkins All Children hospital. I am nauseated at the mention of the name.
It is always someones else's fault eh ??
Every. Single. Time.🙄
Wow these photos were taken in a bad manner! Something wrong there.
If I were on the jury, I would have asked why two different photos of her in the same position were taken at two different times. She is off the charts creepy.
A w.i.t.c.h. would know creepy…right ?
Abuse
@@marylyon1230 I actually question whether or not Bedy sold these photographs to profit from Maya's pain - child pornography.
I wonder how many families suffered at the hands of this horrible woman, DCF and that hospital with Risk Management at the helm. I also wonder if criminal charges can be made against this woman. Imagine being hugged and kissed and placed on the lap of the very person you despise and fear.
Pedophile mentality grooming this child because she knew Mya wanted her mom to hold her and love her -not this thing. No child wants to be touched by strangers. To have to look at the person you fear and detest everyday had to have been so uncomfortable for her. And to take pictures and watch her undress. Cathi didn’t take into account that Mya was a fighter and ten is not too young to know when someone is getting too “close”. Mya remembers everything that happened those three months. And so does this monster social worker. The jury saw through her lies and actions of what she did and didn’t do.
I agree this bedi woman was grooming for pedofilia
JHACH, Bedy & Smith keep trying to show that Maya is Malingering. OK, if the hospital does not support Ketamine therapy. But to go to DCF and present a case of child abuse is unwarranted.
Yet they use arguments outside of the jury that she isn’t. They want it both ways.
Do NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE PICS OF MAYA WERE NECESSARY!!!
THere is something about this woman that is openly dislikeable.
This case makes you hate scial workers even more.
Oh no! We're not all bad 😢 I understand the mistrust though because she is awful.
@@amiemichniewicz6222agree..... We are NOT all bad!!!! ❤
There’s so many good ones that get overshadowed by these kind, or worse - managed by the kinds like Bedy
Maya was never allowed to see her lawyer nor her priest without someone listening in.
lawyers and priests are provenly untrustworthy - both are manipulative liars
The most outrageous claim was that Maya's Mother could have poisoned the host (Catholic wafer used during mass). The priest has the host on him at all times and is NEVER OUT OF SIGHT of it because it is consecrated.
How somebody in the hospital could have been allowed to make such an outrageous claim is beyond belief.
Cathi should stop smiling at the jury ALL the time, it looks terrible and really makes her appear more guilty.
@@savinaking8637 As a Roman Catholic myself, I was appalled at that claim.
@@savinaking8637imagine that ?
All Children Hospital stated that they Report Beata Kowalski for medical child abuse and want to put Maya in safer environment and apparently, this hospital allowed Cathi Bedy,who has child abuse charges (her both knees on a 10 years old chest) to be social worker around Maya. This women stripped off Maya's clothes and started taking pictures of body parts without parents permission and even Maya already said NO. Quite pathetic and evil for what All Children hospital committed
That female defence lawyer is very annoying. Probably because she new that the social worker was caught lying.
Am i the only one who believes that there should be criminal justice?
I am a German citizen, and yes I believe those two women (Smith and Bedy) needs to put in jail for a long time. They are gruesome witches…
She dodged the question about documenting whereabouts of children patients if taken out of their room - saying the 'bedside nurse knew where a minor patient was" is not the same thing at all. And to suggest it is sufficient feels unprofessional, possibly medically unsound and problematic, and just plain counter to common sense. Does each minor patient have their own 'bedside nurse"?
So, she claims they were afraid she would fall out of the bed and injure herself, but believed she was faking. Which one is it?
yes each child has their own bedside nurse, that was explained by the nurse witness
@@Jessica-hk5qteven an adult has a bedside nurse. I had one when I gave birth to my last child, they did it cause I tried to commit suicide before my pregnancy due a death in the family. Happens to be the nurse they assigned was my friend 😳.
The bedside nurse has many patients though. She can’t be with all of them at the same time
Exactly, it should always be documented where any patient is and at what time whether adult or child. What if the bedside nurse is in an emergency? Who else would then know where the patient is? Shocking
That women abused that little girl Maya. I hope karma comes to you in your life.
Maya never used profanity unless because she felt threatened. In a hosp environment EVERYTHING gets charted.
Witv so much pain I’d probably be swearing all day 😣
If you can’t hear noises from a patient’s room from the nurses station why have the cracked door policy at all? It would seem she said the cracked door policy is obsolete. What a crooked bunch of so-called medical professionals. Lock them all up
There are bed alarms for patient safety. Also, the child had the mental capability to be instructed to ask for help to get out of bed.
In the Netflix documentary there are text messages between hospital staff when Maya had a tablet on her lap and they disparage whatever communications the mother may have been having with Maya - saying "we wouldn't put anything past the mother" who was DESPERATELY trying to help her daughter out of pain.
i love ANDERSON, HIS QUESTIONS, AGGRESSIVE AND LOVE HIS VOICE! MAYA!!! WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN. GOD BLESS MAYA AND FAMILY..
She is SO creepy. SO damn creepy. This case ripped my heart in half. I'm thrilled with the outcome of the verdict, but nevertheless, Kyle and Maya will never get their mother back. There's no price on that. I pray to God that life is kind to both of them as the years go on, and they remember their strong, beautiful, courageous mother, and take the best of her with them.
The bottom line is this: what if one of you guys had a child that was diagnosed with a condition by four or five different doctors and had been receiving a treatment by those doctors.. then there was a complication, so you get sent to the hospital.. you asked for the treatment that those doctors recommend.. you are an extreme advocate for your child because you would literally die for that child… now you are accused of child abuse?
Bottom line is what if you been abusing your child and then you send your kid to the hospital, composed of mandatory reporters, fiending for KETAMINE. BECAUSE YOUR LAST QUACK DOCTOR CUT YOU OFF because even HE thought you were being unreasonable..
You enter the hospital acting like a psycho who's selling their child's ketamine..
And then you're shocked when CPS shows up and takes your kids...
Only cowards off themselves when they know they have small children to take care of...
@@surpriseimblack that isn’t what I was talking about.
I do agree, but in this case Maya wasnt allowed to go home if her Mother was there. they were going to put her into foster care. her mother did this because it was the only way Maya could go home to her family. devastating choice for that Mom. @@surpriseimblack
i just stumbled upon this case today but from im gathering, they brought up munchhausen by proxy which can involve multiple trips to multiple doctors/clinics/hospitals, similar to what happened with gypsy rose.
It's hard to believe this woman can still sleep soundly at night
Her smile to the court and the jury is so fake.
The fact that she claims maya was shouting profanities when this was out of the ordinary for her should have 100% been documented. The fact that she said she gives kids 'grace' is bull***t. That girl is the sweetest and well mannered child, she never cussed them out, this woman is a liability and should be struck off!
There’s a saying in the medical profession. If you didn’t document it , it didn’t happen . She’s a bad liar this old witch .
This is what happens when you get somebody who has some psychopathy and give them what they think is unlimited power to make decisions.
I hope the judge throws the book at them. Being in intractable pain is already a horrible existence. I can't even imagine being a young child with an extreme pain disorder and then having a bunch of incompetent doctors & staff lodging false complaints against my guardians and getting removed from their custody, then having those useless doctors wrongfully taking over my treatment & then entirely dismissing the severe pain disorder under the guise of calling it fabricated by medical abuse, then refusing to treat any of my pain and basically torturing a young child through withholding any pain medication and treatment.
Unfortunately, this kind of case and this total incompetence, narcissism, and sadism in doctors is insanely common. I'm also very chronically ill and see countless specialists. Take it from me - most doctors are not only worthless, but they're also flat out sadistic and are on a constant power trip. This is far too common, and there needs to be far more laws & regulations in place to prevent this kind of behaviour in medical professionals, and to keep awful and/or incompetent people from going into the medical field in the first place. This is exactly why the rates of suicide in chronically ill people are so high, and continuing to climb. The healthcare system in this country is horrific.
Agree 100%
Not to mention all the while fraudulently billing the father's insurance for the very condition they denied that Maya was suffering.
Something like $50,000 a month.
I am a social worker. We are not experts in fabricated illness. We are always lead by medical experts to safeguard and we keep the hell out of it. And indeed to be exempt from any cross examining. I cannot get my head around her taking photos. Only medical experts takes photographs for evidence not a social worker.
Once again, selective forgetfullness.
Taking pictures of children in the hospital without gaurdian approval or supervision is WILD
we all know someone like this, usually an old teacher, who somehow got through life being a wicked witch, getting a kick out of tormenting people either through genuine neglect or pure stupidity, and somehow just continuous to blissfully float through, ruining lifes as they go.
Didn't have to hold her down??? then wtf was thier hands on her in every single photo clearly holding her down!
friken sickening evil woman any and all of them are
There was never a concern that maya was being physically abused as far as leaving marks by her mom. I can’t understand why they took photos of maya
It might be they are trying to see if she had lesions.
They were trying to prove she didn't have the CRPS that they billed her father half a million bucks for.
Because they believed she was self inflicted herself ! They wanted make sure she didn’t come back with any more injuries to herself after court with judge! They believed it was all a lie of her illness
Wow thanks everyone for clarifying :)
@traceygeer yet they weren’t put into her medical file and their order to take them weren’t documented.
This woman needs a year or two in jail. 😢
Is this women still practicing? Because this is alarming to me. She pure evil and is aware of all her moves.
She is still on staff at JH as a social worker and also is a social worker at a OB/GYN . I’m sure she’ll try to separate some mothers from their babies . How can she still have any job ???!!!!😡
@@kjh6903 that's scary
Remember that guy who went to the hospital a year or so ago and shot one specific Doctor? He decided that was easier than waiting 10 years for " justice ". Bless him and his family.
DAMN, what a PERFORMANCE! This sweet, composed, butter-wouldn't-melt BS is fooling nobody.
This is exactly why people do not take their children to the hospital.
The fact she argued with another Social Worker about giving a family a gas card!!! What!!!?!??!?
I know she THINKS she gave a good answer but it sounds so petty. Then it turned out it wasn’t a gas card but a card for food? She’s so petty.
They diagnosed my daughter with balimia. After 10 mins with her. They told me she needed to be immediately admitted to the hospital and put undwr 24 hr care. We left there had a good cry together and went home. They were so terrified of her condition that they never called us back when they realized we couldnt afford their " care " and insurance wouldnt cover it. Hospitals are death traps. Run by psychohants that are extremely overpaid which gies to their giant egos.
Why was the nurse unable to identify this woman as the one who was taking inappropriate photos. Very fishy, especially as there was sexual abuse that cannot be taken to court while this case is being tried.
I hadn't heard about that. What sexual abuse?
@@charlyshay1013while mayas parents could not see her, a male walked into her room lifted her clothes and looked at her private area. They cannot bring this up in court because they did not question the jury about their condition on this matter.
Oh, so I thought they mentioned that something happened with a male in a lab coat at another hospital. But you're saying something also happened at JH?@@mistyriver1839
Did they establish if that person was even a doctor? I was confused about who he was. Was he a rando hospital staff?
The worst part of it all is her half naked photo's are now online forever, you'd think these channels would blur them to save her future embarrassment. I find it very strange that part of the case is about her privacy yet it's televised
I just watched the "Take Care of Maya" documentary and I'm so mad! I'm so sorry, and im so ashamed of what these people did to that family, and, unfortunately, so many others!
I am nauseated thinking of the complicated, horrific nightmare this family endured at the hands of these incompetent, bitter and self important people!
Disbelief isn't even enough to describe my feelings at the moment. I recommend anyone to watch this documentary and see for yourselves why The Kowalskis and Maya, especially, deserve these monies for the damages they suffered, still suffer, daily. They will always suffer due to the incompetence and power tripping people who had the lives of all in this family in their hands. One didn't make it out alive, and i am sure there are so, so many other families with familiar stories and circumstances. Thats why this trial had to happen. Its a victory for all families struggling woth a sick child who aren't being listened to.
So, so sad.
The problem isn’t that a CPS enquiry was triggered, the problem is how they treated the family. The hospital staff did pretty outrageous things. All they had to do was do a proper investigation without involving their emotions and ego.
Disturbing
They should all go to prison!!!
The be all and end of this case is that the parents took her for treatment in Mexico, which enabled her to have a relatively pain free life.
On attending John Hopkins the Mother presented all of her notes that she had made, that she had made whilst looking for a cure for her daughter.
John Hopkins being very snooty about this Doctors treatment ( he had spent 17 years on this condition )
and as they disregarded his advice, they went for the Mother, " because She was asking too many questions! "
They didn't see many cases of this rare disease so they TOTALLY disregarded any advice.
They went to the hospital because their own wonder doctor didnt want to give Maya no more drugs.
@@b00_2lmao stop lying. they went to the hospital bc insurance would cover said drugs as they could no longer afford it out of pocket. This can be EASILY found and supported. Caught out lying. Lol
That went to the hospital due to stomach pain from constipation that was more than likely from opiates not ketamine.
@@libertyna933 yes true but same time their own doctor stopped giving them this famous ketamine.
I think Maya wanted to spend more time with her mom who was a transfusion nurse. It was bonding time for them to be hooked into some infusion on a pole at some hospital bedside.
Beaty is not to be trusted IMO in this case
Creepily nice today hey? Must be Halloween.
Why is she reporting to risk management ?
Bedy be sneaky snake
Of the creepy crawly kind.@@donnabelitz3105
Will the real Kathy Bedy please stand up? What a decoy persona she presents. Gentle, caring, professional. The authentic Kathy can be heard on the phone controlling Beata and Maya. Cruel, bullying and totally unprofessional. The contrast is blatant. The jury wont be fooled. When there are no witnesses, this bully is out of control. Social workers licensing authority, are you compliant with this. Does this person still have a licence to practise?Her motive in her career was not to care and protect children. It was to have the power to rip families apart. She wanted Maya for herself. That would be the ultimate dominance and control over Beata. Bedy has Beatas blood all over her. And now she is being exposed.
Honestly this situation reminds me of the Jodi Hildebrant case. She was the therapist torturing Ruby’s kids in Utah.
You are 100% right in everything you said in your Comment!!!
Is “degratory” the same as derogatory?
Google "degratory", you won't find it. It's an incorrect pronunciation of derogatory, in my opinion.
I really hope the jury has seen videos of the "REAL" Cathi Bedy ! I can't believe her acting all sweet & innocent.
Maybe it’s a twin sister, haha.
Her demeanor is entirely different from the 2019 depo.
So, bizarre!
I thought they mislabel the tape
Her acting, hair, and makeup were bad. That was a bad dye job.
I didn't recognise her ...where has the arrogant, condescending own self gone???????
Her true self is in the deposition. Today she knew she would be filmed and on the internet, so she is putting on a false show. At the deposition, she didn't realize this trial was going to be so big and that she'd be seen by everyone. That is her true self in the deposition.
Why did she take the photos of her?
I wish ALL Courts would BAN swivel chairs!
Whenever a "perpetrator"/witness compliant to "accessory to misdemeanor" swinging around in that chair, shows utter disrespect 😮
Yes! Darrell Brooks should have been given a stationary chair, too!
@@Plootyhooter Totally! That guy "defending himself" should never have been allowed to make a mockery of the Justice System in USA.
LOLLLL
I find it strange when the witness turns to face & replies the jury. It’s like watching a tennis match in slow motion.
@@Erana-Quesadait's also a move by liars to make themselves more believeable
It’s funny how everyone can answer the questions for the hospital legal team so fast and clear and have laps of memory and can’t understand questions when cross examined. That’s the first red flag for me if I was on the jury
I love the judge and Mr Anderson!!! Poetry in motion... Watching from Perth Western Australia!!
Cross examination was horrendous??
What do you think of our justice system out here in the United States? I would love to be able to watch cases in other countries.
i do too and I think JUDGE knows who is guilty!!! 100%%%%%
jaimiestringer4726 my fav city along with Adelaide 😍😍
She answered differently in the deposition. And why would she be taking the pictures anyway? Isn’t she the social worker? It seems like nursing staff would be taking the pictures. She’s very vague. I think this lady’s in trouble, At least she sure doesn’t sound like a credible witness to me. If I was a juror I wouldn’t believe a word she said
I’ve noticed all of her skin flushes when she lies or is getting angry, Im sure it is even more apparent to the jury
She is not in trouble as she settled for $2.5 million. So she is off the hook. The hospital fired her. Her testimony will only hurt the hospital.
@marylyon but the public knows what she’s done. Can’t imagine this is gonna be easy for her afterward.
I meant in trouble financially, like getting sued. Now her hand comparisons while on stand with the bed photo are showing up on youtube proving she lied on stand. @@basicallyno1722
This woman just oozes evil imo. Idk. I just get really icky vibes from her. She did so many questionable things. I get trying to comfort a child, an orphan, or a child whose been physically abused, but Maya had a family. Maya had loves ones fighting to bring her home. She didn't need yo put someone else's kid on her lap! And the photos!!!! Why weren't the parents asked for permission? I believe Maya 100% when she said Cathi told her that her mom was in a mental hospital and that she was adopting her. There was literally no evidence of physical abuse or medical abuse. Beata was amazing at documenting everything (her RN license probably contributed to that) It is absolutely mind boggling to me, that a young girl can show up to the ER with her parent, already diagnosed with CRPS, and a ketamine prescription to treat her, by a lisenced physician, and because their staff didn't "agree/like it" they said "yep, this child is abused." That's really, really scary for any parent watching this unfold. Am I going to be Ok taking my children to the ER if they get hurt or God forbid, become sick with some unknown/rare illness? I just cant believe that hospitals and DCF can do these things? They can quite literally strip a parent of their rights over... an opinion.
She’s CAUGHT!!
This hospital will be in big trouble after this case. A very good thing! She's role-playing for sure!
Behind the nurses station listening in from the mic in the call button, smh this makes me sick!!!!
WHY DIDNT CALL THE PARENTS? WHY? WHY? i would have had a fit!!!!! if it was my child
I was in the hospital for 65 days on heavy narcotics. They set alarms on the bed. As soon as you even menuever to get off the bed it sounds a piercing alarm. The alarm is too prevent falls! Her reason is bs as to cracking the door.
Now that Hopkins have been found guilty and liable, each individual involved including this one should be charged and tried
They need a campaign to get this women fired!!!!
I HAVE YET TO MEET AN HONEST SOCIAL WORKER. I'M NOT SURE THEY EXIST.
Will someone, anyone please explain to me why this woman was so involved with Maya when the child was in the hospital and not at home. I blame her for Beata's death , the trauma that Maya suffered from not being able to see her mom and all that the family suffered.
According to Netflix documentary Maya said Cathi wanted to be her foster mother and Maya to be her little girl after she holds her in her lap and kisses her when Maya is crying wanting to go home to her mother prior to her death. I’m not commenting verbatim but that was the jest of it. She attached herself to this child in an unhealthy way and was out to get Beata. She and that Dr. Susan woman both playing God. Both women need fired. I hope since this trial is over it isn’t over yet.
Is there any written code about the process of what these social workers can or cant do with in such situations...like removing clothes and taking pictures of a small girl child with mere verbal concent is that legal in America without anyone from the damily present or any authority from the hospital present?
