While watching this trial, I have felt so bad for Maya and her family. BUT… Subsequent to the $$ JUDGEMENT $$, I no longer feel as sad. MAYA is single-handedly CHANGING THE SYSTEM!! I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, an autoimmune disease which causes the spine and joints to “fuse” together along with so many other physical conditions. It’s slightly below CRPS on the MaGill Pain Assay. I’m 58 and haven’t had a day without excruciating pain that can’t be helped, even with the strongest narcotic pain meds, in over 30 years now. Initially, prior to the “HunchBack” and twisted spine appearance I now have, people would often question the pain I was experiencing. Without my incredible and lovely Bride of nearly 30 years and my family, I have no idea how I could have made it this far. ❤ The huge battle now, every 30 days…. The BATTLE for opiate pain medication in the time of the “Opiod Crisis”. When I stand for the first time each day, my Si joint / hips actually “break”, with a cracking sound that can be heard down the block. Yet… it’s always a struggle. There are zero pain management docs nearby that will still prescribe pain medication now. And… after the 2 hour drive (lying on a pile of blankets in vehicle, basically unrestrained) to see the doc each month, it’s then a struggle to find a pharmacy that will actually have the drugs in stock. None of the pharmacies within 20 mikes carry morphine ER and oxycodone solution liquid. None will order it In either. But… THE BORDERS REMAIN WIDE OPEN FOR THE FENTANYL TRAIN STEAMING THROUGH..! 😠
yeah, they’re such scum bags. I was telling my husband I don’t know how they sleep in their garden or a dumpster at night with the things they’ve done to this little girl the defense completely came off cold I don’t think it was a good luck for the jury. They came off cold. They came off like liars like they would say anything to get them out of this mess and usually exhibits don’t go down like this. I mean if you watch them it takes hours each morning, because the defense wants to reject every single one, and it’s unbelievable usually at trials a judge says well OK this is coming in. There’s usually not a fight like this unless they’re dirty they’re so dirty that they have no choice but to try to get it taken off the trial
I think it’s not necessarily uncommon to see pictures and or videos of a person who is claiming pain but looks good. I know of situations in which people have been followed by some insurance companies so they can stop payment. It’s a real thing. I was actually surprised the judge didn’t allow all of the pictures the defense wanted but I’m not an attorney.
It angers me because I suffer from horrible chronic pain in my back (Ankylosing Spondylosis, multiple failed back surgeries & procedures (12 to be exact) & fibromyalgia) I can’t walk, stand or sit for long periods of time. I often do grocery pick ups because it is just too much for me to walk through the entire grocery store. I’m not overweight but refuse to use one of the disabled “carts” because many ppl are so critical in my area & I know would make snide remarks if I was to use one, since I look ok on the outside. I have been confronted MANY times for parking in handicap parking spots even though I have a handicap placard. Just because someone cannot “see” my pain, they have no idea the hell I live in daily! This all started for me at 34 years old. I’m now 51 & It only gets worse as I get older.
My husband had 200+ lbs of lumber dropped on head/back area, he has a messed up spine and in constant pain, he has learned to live with the pain as much as possible and I would never imagine telling him he was not in pain because of a picture, this medical staff is horrible and should be ashamed.
No they aren’t. The defense has successfully played on your emotions and you would literally be kicked out of this jury. No one should take your biased word seriously. This poor girl is not a victim of the hospital staff of the #1 children’s hospital in Florida, rather she is the victim of her insane mother who snuck ketamine into her IV because she felt she knew better than the team of seasoned professionals working at John Hopkins. You are naive and easily played, and you would never be chosen for this jury. Your word means nothing.
It is not only “1 picture” there are dozens and dozens of health professionals with notes and giving testimony about Maya saying she is in pain and acting otherwise from one second from another depending on who she was with or what they asked her for… she came to trial telling a story, looking super sick when she could have been there telling the whole story, looking normal (like she does every day outside) so yes this pictures and videos of her dancing and moving normally are VERY important!
@@11aauser Are we watching the same trial? So you are saying she is lying about being in pain? Please never have children as you would suck at protecting them.
@@martierickson7937 if my kid tells me he can’t walk and then 2 minutes later he is running I’m not going to buy it, but I would make sure to know why he is trying to get my attention and care looking closely and providing my full support. I’m a mother of 2, i have a really big family and I’m aware that sometimes kids can have needs but not the tools to express themselves or ask accordingly… In this case with Maya what I see is a girl who wanted her mom’s attention and a very troubled mom that provided an extreme amount of care for her daughter (MBP) and a hospital that saw the dangers and red flags in that family…
And something very important here, nobody is saying that real pain doesn’t exist. This is not your husband story, if we watch a trial and judge from our feelings we can’t see reality, but our own wounds… I started watching this trial (after seeing the documentary on Netflix) feeling terribly sorry for the family and on their side, until the defense witnesses started to speak… then I changed my mind realizing that this family has big issues and that there is enough proof (written) in notes from professionals and their own stories about WHY Maya and her mom were being investigated!
Looks bad that the defense is still basically abusing her. The fact they keep trying to prove she's faking shows what she went through in the hospital. Jury may see that.
Incredible how after that entire documentary and deep explanation of how chronic pain works we can even question how this poor girl is able to be sick one day and feel ok the next day. That's literally how chronic pain works!! Evil people who think this poor family is lying for shits and giggles, do they look like they're having fun? Would you like to live their life? They were ravaged by disease and trauma, it could happen to any of us.
I can so relate ! I have issues with chronic pain an everyone will say you walking fine etc etc.what they don't realize is the next day I won't be out an about . An it's not like you can plan when the pain is going to be there . I think some at this hospital took a lot of liberties with her care due to a Dr opinion .one Dr who chose not to listen to her other Dr due to they're treatment methods !!! Who the hell does she think she is ? Wonder how many others lives she affected ? Just hope judge jury are well educated about chronic pain
If the SYNDROME exists, then Mummy killed herself for that reason. Having 80-days away from the hospital and her daughter was the circuit-breaker she needed. She didn't want to go back. She killed herself because she hated her daughter. The hospital was right. Red-flags would have been flailing like a fish. Anyone saying the hospital is in the wrong, are also the same people that would ask - in hindsight - 'why didn't that murderer, or child-abuser get reported by the hospital? ' Go take your fur-baby for a poo walkies 💩🐶. You'll feel better you selfish, stupid fools.
I would act 100x better than this for $220m dollars. You sound naive and stupid. What parent takes the word of a quack doctor who considers sending their 10 year old child to get ketamine treatments in Mexico seriously? It’s completely irresponsible and medically unsound. If you think the opposite, sorry, but I’m taking the word of the #1 children’s hospital in Florida over that of a single physician. I feel bad for the child because they are obviously the victim of an incredibly turbulent household, to say the least, but the defense is extremely weak and should be ashamed of themselves.
✋🏻Remember this tip. If someone asks permission to takes notes, tell them only if you can read them, and get a copy after and are able to add your notes for things that were not consistent and have both party’s sign. I was hit by a forklift at work and learned many lessons after the fact. Cover your self.. people are always looking for loopholes or judgmental view of the situation
@@unknownthirdplace I was talking about a work injury and my superiors. I could tell by his questions and demeanor that he was adding his own opinions yet he was not there at the accident so when we were done I asked to read then so I could make sure he wrote “my” details. He wouldn’t let me..rather suspicious. So next time I will say yes “but only I’d we go over them together after”. I am not sure if doctors will let you read their notes. We should be able to read anything that is written about us. Here in Canada, we have a website and go on and see test results, now you’ve made me curious if I can read notes from there. 🤔
So, I’ve never experienced chronic pain.. BUT. In my second pregnancy the first stage of labour took a long time. Started in the morning, but we didn’t go in to the hospital until around 11pm. The contractions hurt and just kept hurting with the pain very slowly increasing, but the timing was still irregular and relatively infrequent. After some hours of this my husband told me it was probably more braxtons hicks (I had mistaken them for the start of labour a week prior). I said, no, this is different, these contractions aren’t just uncomfortable, they HURT. That evening we hopped into bed to try to sleep as the contractions *still* weren’t coming quickly enough to go to the hospital. I was dubious about getting to sleep with so much pain but I was determined to at least rest knowing birth was relatively imminent. Shock, I never did sleep. At one point the pain finally became so much that I shook my husband up and said, “that’s it, I don’t care if it’s too early, we’re going in for pain management, I can’t take it at this point.” He looked at me with total confusion and said something like “it hurts more now?? But earlier you were really wincing and knocking your fist on the wall and you’ve stopped doing that” I was like “So??? It’s been going on for HOURS. Tensing up my body and face doesn’t help the pain it’s just a reflex that actually makes me more tired, I’ve learned to just relax through the pain now, but I’m telling you the pain is now worse, I can’t endure it, I need to go to the hospital NOW.” That was around 11pm. We went. I got some gas and later an epidural. I was finally able to really rest. The baby was born before dawn. People do not always SHOW when they are in pain, especially if the pain is ongoing.
Just because she had a photo taken, does not mean she wasn’t in pain. I’m in pain 24/7 but have to try and lead somewhat of a normal life. I feel so bad for her and hope she gets Justice from a horrible hospital who treated her like crap!😢
THIS, some of those in chronic pain can’t or won’t take analgesics for a variety of reasons. You can’t know based on someone’s outward appearance if they are in pain, especially chronic pain. You DO get used to being in pain, you don’t stop feeling the pain
Agree. Especially chronic pain in a young person you don‘t just see from a picture! And generally ppl w chronic conditions are focused on appearing somewhat normal to not be reduced to their condition in daily life. Wish you as much relief as possible, compassion & the support you need, not the support other might think you need without asking you!!
People would often be offended when I was in pain. I tried to act normal but I was miserable. I would be smiling in pictures but I could see the pain and so could those closest to me.
If anyone has a chronic autoimmune disease knows your never not out of pain,because u do not have a bone sticking out of your leg ,people can’t see pain .I get gaslighted but drs all the time
You DO NOT sue someone for the heck of it. I won a lawsuit from medical liability due to a recall of an artificial hip. It has made my life a living hell and I only got a fraction of what they are asking for. I hope they get every penny they sue for. The manufacturer of the hip I received knew of the failure rate before they implanted them. Medical malpractice is on the rise. I worked in hospitals for 20 years and I know how they operate. Just based on her treatment alone she should get money. It’s the principle of it all. No hospital should treat patients like this and get away with it. There are other families who had the same thing happen with their children taken away. This is a crime. The hospital should PAY.
Of course they're not suing "for the heck of it." They're suing for $220 million and, for the life of me, I can't see what the hospital did that warrants that much awarded to the plaintiff.
@@PennyxXxDreadfulif the hospital isn't impacted from all the rest of the settlements in how they treat children, this is absolutely necessary in preventing adults harming and assaulting children, think Larry Nassar. This is about power and control and has nothing to do with administrating health care
@@bewitched3912 So we're meant to be equating Cathy Beddy with Larry Nassar? $220 million for routine photographs taken? I had the same thing done a few times as a child. It's unpleasant, to be sure, but I'm not convinced two or more people held her down while she screamed for them to stop and that these women either lied or have no recollection of the event. I'm wholly unconvinced Cathy is some sort of sexual predator obsessed with Maya. This entire trial feels more than a little main character syndrome'ish.
@@PennyxXxDreadful the only to thwart any further damages IS to bring to light these abuses. YES. If they settled out of court for a hew hundred grand, it will continue and a Judgement against a giant billion dollar industry will further protect children from these monsters.
It's incredibly cruel to expect somebody to have to show you performative suffering just because you can't comprehend that somebody with a chronic condition can have good days and bad days, or that people with chronic conditions still try to live their lives. Plaintiff themselves posted videos of Maya arguably having even more fun, like jumping in the pool, when she doesn't have a CRPS flare up. Considering that (1) she never claimed that she never tries to have fun; (2) she has testified many times that there are periods where she's better and where she's worse; (3) it's a medical fact that she had very bad episodes, like in 2020, where she had to be hospitalized and has nearly died because she couldn't eat and had to have a feeding tube to survive that period, I don't understand what was supposed to be so scandalous about 2 photos of her attending two social events, especially recently, when it's very clear she can attend the court when needed. She has never testified to being a hermit hobbit, who has groceries delivered to her through a chimney.
She’s been transparent, she could have come in court everyday in a wheelchair , wrapped up in a blanket, with no shoes on . She stated many times she had good days and bad days , even her nurses said she had days she felt better than others. I agree with you .
@@franmellor9843Shapiro doing some social media bullying. He should be ashamed , she already isn’t going to the therapist because all her private conferences and conversations were to be disclosed during court . I worry about her mental state . She needs to have some fun to let her mind rest . The defense should be ashamed and @Court TV as well . She’s still an underage young lady. Sorry to reply on your comment .
Well-said and very true There is a nurse who posted on this video claiming this dx is "a catch all" and that Maya is seeking opiates is absolutely delusional, cold and incompetent. Nurses and MDs like this are why people (especially with misunderstood diagnoses) are scared to go to the hospital and seek alternative treatments.
Before my Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis, at the most severe of the illness, I went on a trip to visit my husband's friends and go to Universal. I was absolutely miserable the whole time. Was dropping weight, couldnt eat, had a high fever, was doubling over in pain, and was constantly in the restroom, and yet, there are photos of me smiling, looking like nothing was wrong. My husband was the only one who knew I wasn't doing well, but even he didn't know exactly how bad it was. I tried very hard to hide it, and hid in the moments that I was in tears from the pain. I did not let anyone know I was miserable, especially because my symptoms were embarrassing. A photo means nothing when it comes to determining whether someone is in pain or not. Anyone with a chronic illness, especially and invisible one, knows this.
This poor child has had to spend much of her teen years around lawyers. That’s why she speaks like us rather than her TikToker agemates. I’m very glad her lawyers won this case.
The Lawyers trying to diagnose a girl with a picture. The same way the Dr’s diagnosed a girl as being abused within an hour of meeting her. Or not being in pain because she smiled 🙄 It only proves how badly she was treated and what she had to deal with .. IGNORANCE
I suffer from Gastroparesis… people who have chronic diseases often push through the symptoms and don’t outwardly show it. I have good days and bad days. I explain it to others “imagine your worst stomach flu day”that’s a good day for me.
Maya is a strong credible articulate witness. One has to remember she is describing events when she was aged 9-10, when I imagine she was more frightened at being separated from parental care whilst extremely physically unwell…the trauma attached to this must be massive. You catch the emotion of it all in her testimony. I hope the jury believe her account. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
No one is credible at 9 or 10, her memories can be manipulated very easily and by her before and after testimony it’s pretty clear that her memory has changed.
I'm in pain 24/7 but I still have to get things done! A picture doesn't show what a person may be feeling Inside! These people are just disgusting! They all should be in jail!!
Comment warriors: Please stop and think, have you EVER gone to work with nausea? Gone grocery shopping with a headache? Felt a little off and still gone out for supper or a get together with friends? Have you felt down, unwell for any reason and taken pictures with family or friends at a gathering? Everyone has! So this idea that Maya is lying, or isn’t in pain because she took a picture and committed the mortal sin of smiling… is an absolute lie and every human on the face of the earth knows this! Please take a seat and ask yourselves why you feel the need to deny someone their lived experience?Chronic conditions and chronic pain mean that people function at a baseline where they generally do not feel optimal even on their best day. When having a day that is better than others, we push ourselves, and often we pay the price for it. So before grandstanding about Mayas decorum and whether she is in pain or not, ask why it matters and examine your actions in your life, if you’re perfect then I will sit down and cede ground to your superiority.
Anderson is saying she's sick at home with lesions because of the stress of the trial. The Kowalskis are contending that she is no longer "a freight train heading to college." They want JHACH to foot the bill for her continued treatment on top of predicted lost future earnings. I think part of the future medical expenses had a couple million in ketamine factored in there. This kid can't go the length of a trial without being a normal teenager out there living her life. Which is great, but it's not what they're presenting to the jury. She goes to parties, competes in figure skating, goes on vacations with friends. She is not a traumatized, sick child forever stuck in home because of her hospital experience. She leads a fuller, more privileged, and active life than most teens her age.
@@PennyxXxDreadful Do you understand the concept of Punitive Damages? Those are monetary damages issued to deter the Defendant from repeating the behavior in question ever again. Her present status is not the issue! Wrongful Death, False Imprisonment, Malpractice, Falsely Billing Maya's Insurance Company for treatment of a condition they claimed she did not have. Perhaps you should look into The Lawyer You Know's videos about this case. Maya's case is just the tip of the iceberg. There was an Official Government Agency report that stated JHACH was deemed to have put all their patients in Immediate Jeopardy. They endangered the health & safety of ALL their patients. Is that a place you would take your child?
maybe instead of saying the mother is abusing her child because she was told by a doctor her child has an illness.. maybe the doctors should be held accountable if she doesn’t have crps? why are they blaming the mother when she has only listened to what someone else has told her that her child needs? i just don’t understand because all this could have been avoided
Cant believe Court TV's focus is on Maya's social life when we have often been told that her pain waxes and wains. Meanwhile, Court TV is mainly ignoring a HUGE issue facing the defense: the real possiblity that the hospital was, at the time Maya was there, having significant, widespread managment and safety issues. According to the plaintiff, the hospital nearly lost its accreditation. That's crazy!! Why are we not hearing more about this from Court TV?
Absurd to think a picture tells how persons feeling. This is the problem with chronic pain suffers they are judged that they must be fine if they put make up on Monday and actually wore clothes that matched. God for bid they crack a smile. Then they’re called hypocrites hypochondriacs, liars
But yet for being an extremely private/modest person, she wears quite revealing outfits now... yes I understand she was much younger, but she herself said that everything that "happened" to her remains strong in who she is today, sooooo 🤔 # Munchousin by proxy
@@NLJ3167whoa so someone being stripped and pictures taken as a child who was taken from her parents means she should wear turtle necks and pants the rest of her life??
You supporters are surely aware it's scams like this that have us, the general public, paying high hospital costs. Let's see what you think of her when she sheds that poor pitiful me persona after the cash is in the bank. Super organized scam!
I hope the jury is paying close attention, as to how Maya felt, having her clothes taken off. She felt violated, uncomfortable, abused and degraded. I hope the jury can imagine, how they would feel, if they have a daughter, sister, niece and against their will, had their clothes taken off. Bedy thought she could do whatever she chose to do, taking advantage of a young girl, a young girl who suffered a lot of pain, who was too weak to fight back, to keep her clothes on. The bedside nurse, said, Bedy stayed in the room, when she was changing Maya for court. The nurse said, she covers the patient with a blanket, finds a place to take her and only she and the patient are in the room in order to give her privacy, however, Bedy stayed. I wondered who took the pictures, did Bedy have a timer set🤔
I’m so glad Maya’s Father is honoring Beata’s wish “Take Care Of Maya”. She had a few moments of fun , so the victim shaming and blaming began .Who cares what she wore for Halloween, what car she was in , who she was with or where . Pictures done by professionals are staged.I’m more interested in what JHACH has covered up .
@@MotherMonteath-rp6bkAnderson should have investigators bring up dirt about Bedy and expose her further, scrutinized the hell out of her and all those good for nothing doctor's, character assignation. Play the same games the defense plays.
I have CFS and Fibromyalgia. I have people questioning if my illness is real because I will often travel by myself and work remote. They don’t see me being in bed most of the time and having to be alone
There is obviously a dystonia presentation on the pic of her legs. The fact that they thought she was making it up, with an ankle extension like that, there’s no way. Looking at it seems painful
My kid hides it when hes in pain, when hes hungry, etc. Thats why i have to constantly check. He doesnt like me worrying about him. These pictures dont tell anything at all whether she is in pain or not. How dare they think thay can take picture of pain. A lot of people pretend they are ok all the time.
Why haven’t they asked her why she acted so differently(needing to be fed, etc) around her mom compared to having higher function when mom wasn’t around?!
She felt comfortable with her mom helping her. Mom's tend to want to do for their children when ill. I love being spoiled by my husband when I'm not well. Don't forget, she was a baby.
@@jamieharper808 i was just gonna say i always got babied when i was sick 😅😊 but one time i had a fever really bad and was super limp and had no strength that might be a symptom that could happen when she has reactions
Because they are lying . Not only that, it’s sort of like when our parents are around we are usually on our “best behavior “ whereas she was in pain; sad; missing her family . They are acting like she acted completely different . They are all LYING
The fact that she is being scrutinized and having to deal and cope and relive all of her past and anguish is bullshit! It's all just crazy to me. I feel for her so badly!!
one of the things I find fascinating.. isn't what the hospital did..... it's all the things the hospital didn't do. I am not a medical doctor. I created my own college. Yet, suppose I were a medical doctor and suppose that I had a patient I thought were being abused. Now.. she tells me she is in pain. Ok.. how much pain are you in, on a scale of 1 to 10? she says "a 6"... very well, I will prescribe a pain killer for you... My point here, not being, is she in pain or not.. but I want to be very careful.. as I think she'd been abused.. i want her to start trusting herself. She can't believe in her.. if I, an adult, am bashing her all to pieces. how often this hospital went out of its way to bash her all to pieces on top of this. Why would you want to estrange said patient... if you thought she were being abused... wouldn't walking into a room, dominating an abuse victim, be like the last thing a medical doctor would want to do? If the abusers beat the abused into submission, why is the hospital and her staff, trying out out beat the abuser? I wonder if she had had a cell phone on her..... taking videos every time someone walked in the door, if that phone would have survived. if it had.. I wonder how many other charges would have come forth?
I hope this process of being able to tell her story and speak from her own recollection is empowering for Maya Kowalski. Being mistreated and over handled - over worked etc while being a vulnerable young sick person in hospital care away from your family has to be a most traumatic ongoing experience with the various episode described.
The fact that she went on without pain meds and only did her workout routine for a year to be able to walk again tells me everything I need to know. The hospital was right, she was being sedated and her crps “lesions” are actually just scratches. She’s all over social media wearing makeup, testimony about her wearing makeup since she was a 10 year old, now she comes to court bare-faced? Of course she’s going to look sickly under fluorescent lights. I see a try-hard. I’m not saying I don’t feel bad for what happened to her family, but someone had to step in before she overdosed and died. This suit is a cash-grab.
Then why did Johns Hopkins bill the insurance company tens of thousands for treating Maya for CRPS? If she wasn't seriously ill why did they keep her in the hospital for months?
So wearing make up means your not in pain or suffering? Is your judgement based on the fact that ketamine is used recreational? Have you actually watched the trail as a whole? I love how there are hands holding her in place for the photos. If she wasn't in pain why is she being held down? This is a case on how the system and narrow minded people treat other people without looking at ALL the facts. Her parents did what they needed to do for their child. The system let her down no one else. Open your mind up and look at everything as a whole not what you want to believe.
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
I bet Hopkins Hospital will take action against all staff, especially Bety, after the lawsuit is done. The hospital will allow Bety to expose more children to harm until then.
The mother probably kept them for her record's and documentation, knowing she was going to need them. Maya wasn't uncomfortable of her mother taking photos, only stranger's. Why can't you understand? I wouldn't want strangers taking photos of my kids.
For this little girl never talk to her mother in a private conversation for 3 months never a hug or kiss they are quilty as sin. The suicide of her dear loving mother they asked yes it is there fault ask any mother if she would be be charged as a criminal and told she would never see her daughter again. Her mother cared for her and was a educated nurse. find this hospital quilty!
Kids who are heavlily drugged by their captors at a young age are not really going to remember that much as a matter of the crime facts that affect them!
The whole explanation regarding the photos makes zero sense. Why would two sets of photos be taken with a wardrobe change in between? The photo in the wheelchair had to be taken earlier in the day based on the sunlight streaming in. I hope the jury is looking at actual evidence in this case.
The people who worked for this hospital were people who had put in incredible TIME AND MONEY, years of their lives, training to take care of seriously ill children. These people are motivated to lie, harm, disable children, or damage their families??? Do you understand that these are people who have trained for years to try to help children???? THEY HAD NO MOTIVE to HARM MAYA OR HER FAMILY. They were acting as COURT MANDATED REPORTERS to report suspicions they had regarding possible child abuse, which clearly existed with Maya, as many of her providers doubted her diagnosis, and were very uncomfortable with the treatment her parents were relentlessly pushing for. THESE PEOPLE WERE NEVER SEEKING TO DESTROY THIS FAMILY. THESE PROFESSIONALS WERE INSTEAD PUTTING THEMSELVES ON THE LINE, TRYING, IN THEIR VIEW, TO PROTECT THIS CHILD. Get down off of your armchair high horses and think critically for a second. Why would all these good people who have spent their careers trying to care for gravely ill children and their families suddenly change into soul sucking, incompetent, evil beasts when it came to Maya and her family? There was NO MALICE. I'm not God. Were they right, or not? Who knows. It's very muddy whether she ever even had this syndrome or not. Reasonable people, highly trained medical professionals, can even obviously disagree. It's all clear as mud. But understand, these professionals are working in incredibly difficult circumstances, trying to do their best for their patients and families!!! Don't believe that? Then keep your children at home and employ your crystals, and voodoo cards the next time they develop an infection, or horrible pain syndrome, and spare us all, especially your children's MEDICAL providers, your obviously supreme sense of all knowing sense of self righteousness. EVERYONE LOST THE DAY6 BEATA CHOSE TO TAKE HER LIFE, INCLUDING ALL THESE PROFESSIONALS WHO WAKE UP EARLY AND STAY LATE, giving up precious time with their own families in order to better serve other children and their families because they are dedicated to the children they care for day in, and day out. The EASY PATH, would have been to do whatever the Kowalski's wanted them to do. Less documentation. Less litigation. Less NOISE. Did they do that? NO! They took the hard route. The route THEY felt was best for a child viewed as vulnerable, and likely a victim of child abuse. But you know better, right? Nail them to the wall, right? And then complain, COMPLAIN, MOAN, and scream, when NO ONE WILL ADMIT YOUR CHILD TO THE HOSPITAL for uncontrolled, inexplicable pain because the risk of litigation is too high. I wouldn't touch your kid with a 10 foot pole, but then they are better people than me.
It is disgusting how this hospital and the staff treated Maya. What I do not understand is that they never interviewed some of the other nurses and people that had contact with Maya while she was there for three months. Clearly this hospital hid a lot.
A lot of the time, we are in pain, a lot of pain, but we're so tired of our friends stop inviting us places, because we constantly flake out on them. So I know people who will be at a 7 or 8 or higher on pain, but they Force themselves to go to a social situation, number one because of depression.. issue is, you start to have the self-hatred when you keep missing plans and invites... A number 2, people don't like being around people who are in pain, so we mask it a lot, so the people who are around us don't have that look on their face that people give you when you're in pain.. A mixture of pity and annoyance, I'm assuming it similar to the feeling that someone has before they want to take An injured animal out of their misery.. I hate getting those looks People don't like being around people who are in pain people who are in pain know this
Wait wait wait wait wait hold on a moment, I see these photos multiple times, but I just realized, since she changed bras, that means that those women were in the room helping her or forcing her to change her bra so they saw her nipples? Are we 100% sure no pictures were taken during that time? And that the pictures were just removed from the set early on? Were all the serial numbers sequential for the photos that are inevitance? What the h*** were they doing taking her bra off like I understand taking off that color bra and putting on a white bra before a court, but with a camera in the room?
Poor girl. I can only imagine how she must have felt during her time in the hospital. As a child I was in an hospital for surgery on my eyes. I was blindfolded an I was in a room with a very old lady, which was more dead than alive. I could only hear her heavy breathing, she did not speak to me at all. I was sooo scared. No radio, no TV, no book, no visits. My parents were only allowed to step by for a few hours in the afternoon. I was all alone and to my knowledge I was then even younger then Maya. And the nurses were nuns without any empathy😢. This was approx. 50 years ago and I still remember it all too well. But I cannot compare my pain then, with the pain this poor child must have felt. It's a disgrace! I wish her all the best for her future and for all the other (bad) people involved ...may they burn in hell.
Interesting the defense commenting that the photo in the wheelchair was supposedly taken at night after court but there’s clear sunlight coming through the window
It has been intimated that she is a liar. She lied about her pain, she lied about what she was able to do, she lied about being able to move on her own, she lied about using profanity. She lies to get her way...
DIFFERENT NECKLACES AS WELL. I think there were two sets why would they keep taking photos if she wasn't accomodating. I think she is not telling the truth. Next time they should use time stamps.
There are two photos of her that don't look that old where she is clearly wearing gold chain necklaces. They are definitely not silver. I wish the defense would have submitted those as evidence, That way, he could have ended his cross of her showing those photos and asking her, "Didn't you say that you don't wear gold jewelry due to PTSD from Cathy Bedy?" It would have been a great way to end on an impeachment of her previous testimony!
I have fibromyalgia with sciatica and i get flare up. I have pain everyday of my life in different degrees. I know somewhat what maya went through. Obviously hers is much worse. They call it a invisible disease for a reason. Sometimes i wish i could touch a person for them only to feel a day of my pain to just understand
Tbh I doubt that mayas worse. CRPS is worse then what you have but maya s version of CRPS is kinda different because she claims to have days without pain. And I do suffer from CRPS myself there’s days where I’m better than other but not a single day without pain so yea idk Not saying she doesn’t have it tho
This hospital took Maya childhood life and destroyed it and the effects of there power trip effective her mother in way nobody could explain what and how it destroyed her as well to committee the worst imageable act of unleashing herself! Now Maya will never get to talk to her mother about plannings a wedding or having grandchildren or just picking up the phone to call her mother just to say hi! I hope you get more than 200 million!!!
Why is the cart before the horse here with hearing two civil law cases about Maya's horrific treamtment and abuse on her before the crimes against child case on the JH hospital staff?
Maya: “ I was stripped and de-robed down to my Shopkins Bra…most traumatic experience of my entire life, this traumatic event gave me PTSD, I’m now homebound and have no quality of life…BUT I can’t really remember all the details”
Are employers not responsible for their employees and their employees actions? And it was doctors and the hospital that kept Maya there and had Beatie there monitoring her. She’s not a nurse. She was literally there to watch her. Which is what the hospital wamted
No one forced her to file a civil suit.. kowalskis did this voluntarily… so no.. they clearly haven’t had enough. Jack has sued everyone and anyone from Illinois to Florida ..he’s a professional victim
She is lying. Her representations are carefully constructed to be unfalsifiable. Her very disturbed mother has succeeded in making Maya into a professional patient.
Who do you know on defense? All her statements ring true! The JH hospital staff are smug, and talk lots of babble to deflect from the abuse they exacted against this poor family.
My father passed away by suicide. If the hospital did not say to her mother “die” then I am sorry, but this is not the hospitals faults. It is a shame they are blaming a hospital and even any neglect that may have happened- contributing it to a suicide. Nobody can ever know the truth other than the individual.
It’s not just about the mothers death! That’s a contributing factor. They held the child captive for months on end!!!! I suggest you do yourself a favour and look into this much further before making an uneducated comment. There were even acts of SA while she was held against her will. I sure hope you never have a child that goes through this!!!!
The complete and utter GASLIGHTING FROM THE DEFENSE IS INSANE. The lawyers and doctors and nurses gaslighted this poor girl the entire time she was in the hospital . Let this be a lesson people . Just because someone doesn’t “look” sick, doesn’t mean they ARENT sick. They have a disease you can’t see on the outside.
How in the hell would she know what the psychologist “wrote down?” She was 10 years old and wouldn’t be on the same side as the psychologist and his pen. Sorry, not buying it.
CourtTv more concerned about photographs rather than the report that JHACH was in jeopardy of losing certification because, among other things doctors/nurses stopped washing their hands. Remember folks Beata had to tell the nurse to flush her pic line. Which hadn’t been flushed in accordance with standards. Read the first 3 paragraphs in the 2019 report, this hospital should be bankrupted, sally Smith Kathy Bedy and the rest of the 7th floor coven should never be allowed near children.
I see a very angry girl. I see a girl flooded with guilt that her cries for attention that lead them down this path ended this way. She has to blame everyone but herself or her mother. Disrobing? When you are in the hospital as much as Maya, and supposedly in this much pain... to say the photos were one of the most traumatized events her if life is a stretch. I see in her the over exaggerating. I see in her an attempt at directing the jurors by reminding them of how she is not lying but everyone else is. And now she doesn't remember because of steroids. Everyone is lying but Maya and her family. An NG tube hurts, I know this! This is crazy. There are TRUE medical accidents and deaths that deserve this amount of coverage and money for lawyers. If this was never on Netflix everyone would be clueless and not care. Maya is protecting her mother by sticking to the story.
What a disgusting comment!!!!!! I certainly hope you never have a child that gets SA’d in hospital whilst being held captive. Do yourself a favour and research the case fully before making such accusations!!!!! What a vile human you are.

The sadness she felt when she found out she could’ve had a video call with her mom but was never told she could have one . 😢
😢 poor girl
Total drug addict
While watching this trial, I have felt so bad for Maya and her family.
BUT… Subsequent to the $$ JUDGEMENT $$, I no longer feel as sad.
MAYA is single-handedly CHANGING THE SYSTEM!!
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, an autoimmune disease which causes the spine and joints to “fuse” together along with so many other physical conditions.
It’s slightly below CRPS on the MaGill Pain Assay.
I’m 58 and haven’t had a day without excruciating pain that can’t be helped, even with the strongest narcotic pain meds, in over 30 years now.
Initially, prior to the “HunchBack” and twisted spine appearance I now have, people would often question the pain I was experiencing. Without my incredible and lovely Bride of nearly 30 years and my family, I have no idea how I could have made it this far. ❤
The huge battle now, every 30 days…. The BATTLE for opiate pain medication in the time of the “Opiod Crisis”.
When I stand for the first time each day, my Si joint / hips actually “break”, with a cracking sound that can be heard down the block.
Yet… it’s always a struggle.
There are zero pain management docs nearby that will still prescribe pain medication now.
And… after the 2 hour drive (lying on a pile of blankets in vehicle, basically unrestrained) to see the doc each month, it’s then a struggle to find a pharmacy that will actually have the drugs in stock. None of the pharmacies within 20 mikes carry morphine ER and oxycodone solution liquid. None will order it In either.
But… THE BORDERS REMAIN WIDE OPEN FOR THE FENTANYL TRAIN STEAMING THROUGH..!
😠
Didn’t know a photo could show if someone is in pain … what a ridiculous statement.
And yet, Anderson has been doing it this entire trial.
yeah, they’re such scum bags. I was telling my husband I don’t know how they sleep in their garden or a dumpster at night with the things they’ve done to this little girl the defense completely came off cold I don’t think it was a good luck for the jury. They came off cold. They came off like liars like they would say anything to get them out of this mess and usually exhibits don’t go down like this. I mean if you watch them it takes hours each morning, because the defense wants to reject every single one, and it’s unbelievable usually at trials a judge says well OK this is coming in. There’s usually not a fight like this unless they’re dirty they’re so dirty that they have no choice but to try to get it taken off the trial
I think it’s not necessarily uncommon to see pictures and or videos of a person who is claiming pain but looks good. I know of situations in which people have been followed by some insurance companies so they can stop payment. It’s a real thing. I was actually surprised the judge didn’t allow all of the pictures the defense wanted but I’m not an attorney.
@@stacyhunt4783it angers me, the way the judge blocks key evidence from the jury, by request of the defense.
It angers me because I suffer from horrible chronic pain in my back (Ankylosing Spondylosis, multiple failed back surgeries & procedures (12 to be exact) & fibromyalgia) I can’t walk, stand or sit for long periods of time. I often do grocery pick ups because it is just too much for me to walk through the entire grocery store. I’m not overweight but refuse to use one of the disabled “carts” because many ppl are so critical in my area & I know would make snide remarks if I was to use one, since I look ok on the outside. I have been confronted MANY times for parking in handicap parking spots even though I have a handicap placard. Just because someone cannot “see” my pain, they have no idea the hell I live in daily! This all started for me at 34 years old. I’m now 51 & It only gets worse as I get older.
My husband had 200+ lbs of lumber dropped on head/back area, he has a messed up spine and in constant pain, he has learned to live with the pain as much as possible and I would never imagine telling him he was not in pain because of a picture, this medical staff is horrible and should be ashamed.
No they aren’t. The defense has successfully played on your emotions and you would literally be kicked out of this jury. No one should take your biased word seriously. This poor girl is not a victim of the hospital staff of the #1 children’s hospital in Florida, rather she is the victim of her insane mother who snuck ketamine into her IV because she felt she knew better than the team of seasoned professionals working at John Hopkins.
You are naive and easily played, and you would never be chosen for this jury. Your word means nothing.
It is not only “1 picture” there are dozens and dozens of health professionals with notes and giving testimony about Maya saying she is in pain and acting otherwise from one second from another depending on who she was with or what they asked her for… she came to trial telling a story, looking super sick when she could have been there telling the whole story, looking normal (like she does every day outside) so yes this pictures and videos of her dancing and moving normally are VERY important!
@@11aauser Are we watching the same trial? So you are saying she is lying about being in pain? Please never have children as you would suck at protecting them.
@@martierickson7937 if my kid tells me he can’t walk and then 2 minutes later he is running I’m not going to buy it, but I would make sure to know why he is trying to get my attention and care looking closely and providing my full support. I’m a mother of 2, i have a really big family and I’m aware that sometimes kids can have needs but not the tools to express themselves or ask accordingly… In this case with Maya what I see is a girl who wanted her mom’s attention and a very troubled mom that provided an extreme amount of care for her daughter (MBP) and a hospital that saw the dangers and red flags in that family…
And something very important here, nobody is saying that real pain doesn’t exist. This is not your husband story, if we watch a trial and judge from our feelings we can’t see reality, but our own wounds… I started watching this trial (after seeing the documentary on Netflix) feeling terribly sorry for the family and on their side, until the defense witnesses started to speak… then I changed my mind realizing that this family has big issues and that there is enough proof (written) in notes from professionals and their own stories about WHY Maya and her mom were being investigated!
Catherine Bedy should be behind bars for SA and child cruelty. She's hurt a little boy before this and how many others no one knows about?

Looks bad that the defense is still basically abusing her. The fact they keep trying to prove she's faking shows what she went through in the hospital. Jury may see that.
She's obviously faking, though.

Incredible how after that entire documentary and deep explanation of how chronic pain works we can even question how this poor girl is able to be sick one day and feel ok the next day. That's literally how chronic pain works!! Evil people who think this poor family is lying for shits and giggles, do they look like they're having fun? Would you like to live their life? They were ravaged by disease and trauma, it could happen to any of us.
Very well said. It's disgusting that they would even be accused of making any of this up. They went through hell.
I can so relate ! I have issues with chronic pain an everyone will say you walking fine etc etc.what they don't realize is the next day I won't be out an about . An it's not like you can plan when the pain is going to be there . I think some at this hospital took a lot of liberties with her care due to a Dr opinion .one Dr who chose not to listen to her other Dr due to they're treatment methods !!! Who the hell does she think she is ? Wonder how many others lives she affected ? Just hope judge jury are well educated about chronic pain
If the SYNDROME exists, then Mummy killed herself for that reason.
Having 80-days away from the hospital and her daughter was the circuit-breaker she needed.
She didn't want to go back.
She killed herself because she hated her daughter.
The hospital was right.
Red-flags would have been flailing like a fish.
Anyone saying the hospital is in the wrong, are also the same people that would ask - in hindsight - 'why didn't that murderer, or child-abuser get reported by the hospital? '
Go take your fur-baby for a poo walkies 💩🐶. You'll feel better you selfish, stupid fools.
I would act 100x better than this for $220m dollars. You sound naive and stupid. What parent takes the word of a quack doctor who considers sending their 10 year old child to get ketamine treatments in Mexico seriously? It’s completely irresponsible and medically unsound. If you think the opposite, sorry, but I’m taking the word of the #1 children’s hospital in Florida over that of a single physician.
I feel bad for the child because they are obviously the victim of an incredibly turbulent household, to say the least, but the defense is extremely weak and should be ashamed of themselves.
@@peggypasson8794 I know exactly how you feel! I also suffer from a chronic pain condition and no two days are ever the same!
✋🏻Remember this tip. If someone asks permission to takes notes, tell them only if you can read them, and get a copy after and are able to add your notes for things that were not consistent and have both party’s sign. I was hit by a forklift at work and learned many lessons after the fact. Cover your self.. people are always looking for loopholes or judgmental view of the situation
Excellent advice! 😊
You mean when a doctor takes notes of you as a patient? Or in which context? Could you clarify
@@unknownthirdplace I was talking about a work injury and my superiors. I could tell by his questions and demeanor that he was adding his own opinions yet he was not there at the accident so when we were done I asked to read then so I could make sure he wrote “my” details. He wouldn’t let me..rather suspicious. So next time I will say yes “but only I’d we go over them together after”. I am not sure if doctors will let you read their notes. We should be able to read anything that is written about us. Here in Canada, we have a website and go on and see test results, now you’ve made me curious if I can read notes from there. 🤔
You have to apply to see them and have good credible reason for applying under GDPR legislation.
@@Cathycupcake68 thanks for sharing that 🤗
HER COMPOSURE at 17 through being so brutally violated and losing her mom is remarkable
She was forced to mature sadly
What doesn’t kill us will inevitably make us fckin stronger. But you can see in her eyes the true pain
pain is subjective so the fact that the defense was trying to defend something so subjective is insane
So, I’ve never experienced chronic pain.. BUT. In my second pregnancy the first stage of labour took a long time. Started in the morning, but we didn’t go in to the hospital until around 11pm.
The contractions hurt and just kept hurting with the pain very slowly increasing, but the timing was still irregular and relatively infrequent.
After some hours of this my husband told me it was probably more braxtons hicks (I had mistaken them for the start of labour a week prior). I said, no, this is different, these contractions aren’t just uncomfortable, they HURT.
That evening we hopped into bed to try to sleep as the contractions *still* weren’t coming quickly enough to go to the hospital. I was dubious about getting to sleep with so much pain but I was determined to at least rest knowing birth was relatively imminent.
Shock, I never did sleep. At one point the pain finally became so much that I shook my husband up and said, “that’s it, I don’t care if it’s too early, we’re going in for pain management, I can’t take it at this point.”
He looked at me with total confusion and said something like “it hurts more now?? But earlier you were really wincing and knocking your fist on the wall and you’ve stopped doing that”
I was like “So??? It’s been going on for HOURS. Tensing up my body and face doesn’t help the pain it’s just a reflex that actually makes me more tired, I’ve learned to just relax through the pain now, but I’m telling you the pain is now worse, I can’t endure it, I need to go to the hospital NOW.”
That was around 11pm. We went. I got some gas and later an epidural. I was finally able to really rest. The baby was born before dawn.
People do not always SHOW when they are in pain, especially if the pain is ongoing.
Thank you for the empathy and great comparison.
Just because she had a photo taken, does not mean she wasn’t in pain. I’m in pain 24/7 but have to try and lead somewhat of a normal life. I feel so bad for her and hope she gets Justice from a horrible hospital who treated her like crap!😢
THIS, some of those in chronic pain can’t or won’t take analgesics for a variety of reasons. You can’t know based on someone’s outward appearance if they are in pain, especially chronic pain. You DO get used to being in pain, you don’t stop feeling the pain
that hospital 💯 abused her
Agree. Especially chronic pain in a young person you don‘t just see from a picture! And generally ppl w chronic conditions are focused on appearing somewhat normal to not be reduced to their condition in daily life.
Wish you as much relief as possible, compassion & the support you need, not the support other might think you need without asking you!!
People would often be offended when I was in pain. I tried to act normal but I was miserable. I would be smiling in pictures but I could see the pain and so could those closest to me.
If anyone has a chronic autoimmune disease knows your never not out of pain,because u do not have a bone sticking out of your leg ,people can’t see pain .I get gaslighted but drs all the time
You DO NOT sue someone for the heck of it. I won a lawsuit from medical liability due to a recall of an artificial hip. It has made my life a living hell and I only got a fraction of what they are asking for. I hope they get every penny they sue for. The manufacturer of the hip I received knew of the failure rate before they implanted them. Medical malpractice is on the rise. I worked in hospitals for 20 years and I know how they operate. Just based on her treatment alone she should get money. It’s the principle of it all. No hospital should treat patients like this and get away with it. There are other families who had the same thing happen with their children taken away. This is a crime. The hospital should PAY.
Of course they're not suing "for the heck of it." They're suing for $220 million and, for the life of me, I can't see what the hospital did that warrants that much awarded to the plaintiff.
@@PennyxXxDreadfulif the hospital isn't impacted from all the rest of the settlements in how they treat children, this is absolutely necessary in preventing adults harming and assaulting children, think Larry Nassar.

@@bewitched3912 So we're meant to be equating Cathy Beddy with Larry Nassar? $220 million for routine photographs taken? I had the same thing done a few times as a child. It's unpleasant, to be sure, but I'm not convinced two or more people held her down while she screamed for them to stop and that these women either lied or have no recollection of the event. I'm wholly unconvinced Cathy is some sort of sexual predator obsessed with Maya. This entire trial feels more than a little main character syndrome'ish.
@@PennyxXxDreadful the only to thwart any further damages IS to bring to light these abuses. YES. If they settled out of court for a hew hundred grand, it will continue and a Judgement against a giant billion dollar industry will further protect children from these monsters.
@@bewitched3912 They TRIED to settle out of court. This isn't about sending a message; it's about adding more to their millions.
It's incredibly cruel to expect somebody to have to show you performative suffering just because you can't comprehend that somebody with a chronic condition can have good days and bad days, or that people with chronic conditions still try to live their lives.
Plaintiff themselves posted videos of Maya arguably having even more fun, like jumping in the pool, when she doesn't have a CRPS flare up. Considering that (1) she never claimed that she never tries to have fun; (2) she has testified many times that there are periods where she's better and where she's worse; (3) it's a medical fact that she had very bad episodes, like in 2020, where she had to be hospitalized and has nearly died because she couldn't eat and had to have a feeding tube to survive that period, I don't understand what was supposed to be so scandalous about 2 photos of her attending two social events, especially recently, when it's very clear she can attend the court when needed.
She has never testified to being a hermit hobbit, who has groceries delivered to her through a chimney.
It's like a modern day witch hunt & torturous

Well-said and very true
There is a nurse who posted on this video claiming this dx is "a catch all" and that Maya is seeking opiates is absolutely delusional, cold and incompetent. Nurses and MDs like this are why people (especially with misunderstood diagnoses) are scared to go to the hospital and seek alternative treatments.
Great job taking photos. These pictures just prove to me that she had lesions on her hand and forehead consistent with CRPS. How awful.
Before my Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis, at the most severe of the illness, I went on a trip to visit my husband's friends and go to Universal. I was absolutely miserable the whole time. Was dropping weight, couldnt eat, had a high fever, was doubling over in pain, and was constantly in the restroom, and yet, there are photos of me smiling, looking like nothing was wrong. My husband was the only one who knew I wasn't doing well, but even he didn't know exactly how bad it was. I tried very hard to hide it, and hid in the moments that I was in tears from the pain. I did not let anyone know I was miserable, especially because my symptoms were embarrassing. A photo means nothing when it comes to determining whether someone is in pain or not. Anyone with a chronic illness, especially and invisible one, knows this.
She's so eloquent. I can't imagine having her condition. Life is so unfair sometimes.
I fell şad for her
This poor child has had to spend much of her teen years around lawyers. That’s why she speaks like us rather than her TikToker agemates. I’m very glad her lawyers won this case.
The Lawyers trying to diagnose a girl with a picture. The same way the Dr’s diagnosed a girl as being abused within an hour of meeting her. Or not being in pain because she smiled 🙄
It only proves how badly she was treated and what she had to deal with .. IGNORANCE
I suffer from Gastroparesis… people who have chronic diseases often push through the symptoms and don’t outwardly show it. I have good days and bad days. I explain it to others “imagine your worst stomach flu day”that’s a good day for me.
Maya is a strong credible articulate witness. One has to remember she is describing events when she was aged 9-10, when I imagine she was more frightened at being separated from parental care whilst extremely physically unwell…the trauma attached to this must be massive. You catch the emotion of it all in her testimony. I hope the jury believe her account. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
No one is credible at 9 or 10, her memories can be manipulated very easily and by her before and after testimony it’s pretty clear that her memory has changed.
@@TMTM584 Do you have an example of what you mean?

What a sweet, smart and brave young lady. Justice for Maya ⚖️💝
Comment warriors: Please stop and think, have you EVER gone to work with nausea? Gone grocery shopping with a headache? Felt a little off and still gone out for supper or a get together with friends?
Have you felt down, unwell for any reason and taken pictures with family or friends at a gathering?
Everyone has! So this idea that Maya is lying, or isn’t in pain because she took a picture and committed the mortal sin of smiling… is an absolute lie and every human on the face of the earth knows this!
Please take a seat and ask yourselves why you feel the need to deny someone their lived experience?Chronic conditions and chronic pain mean that people function at a baseline where they generally do not feel optimal even on their best day. When having a day that is better than others, we push ourselves, and often we pay the price for it.
So before grandstanding about Mayas decorum and whether she is in pain or not, ask why it matters and examine your actions in your life, if you’re perfect then I will sit down and cede ground to your superiority.
Very well said. Thank you for taking the time to iterate this
"There but for the grace of God go I".
Anderson is saying she's sick at home with lesions because of the stress of the trial. The Kowalskis are contending that she is no longer "a freight train heading to college." They want JHACH to foot the bill for her continued treatment on top of predicted lost future earnings. I think part of the future medical expenses had a couple million in ketamine factored in there. This kid can't go the length of a trial without being a normal teenager out there living her life. Which is great, but it's not what they're presenting to the jury. She goes to parties, competes in figure skating, goes on vacations with friends. She is not a traumatized, sick child forever stuck in home because of her hospital experience. She leads a fuller, more privileged, and active life than most teens her age.

Do you understand the concept of Punitive Damages? Those are monetary damages issued to deter the Defendant from repeating the behavior in question ever again. Her present status is not the issue! Wrongful Death, False Imprisonment, Malpractice, Falsely Billing Maya's Insurance Company for treatment of a condition they claimed she did not have.
Perhaps you should look into The Lawyer You Know's videos about this case. Maya's case is just the tip of the iceberg.
There was an Official Government Agency report that stated JHACH was deemed to have put all their patients in Immediate Jeopardy. They endangered the health & safety of ALL their patients. Is that a place you would take your child?
Unfortunately a lot of this is changed from her original testimony.
maybe instead of saying the mother is abusing her child because she was told by a doctor her child has an illness.. maybe the doctors should be held accountable if she doesn’t have crps? why are they blaming the mother when she has only listened to what someone else has told her that her child needs? i just don’t understand because all this could have been avoided
She's an incredibly strong girl. Her strength has made a bigger impact than she could ever imagine.
you can be in pain & not show it on your face. just because you’re doing daily activities doesn’t mean you cannot be in pain
Absolutely! My arm gives me a lot of pain, but I still run with my dog. People with pain, still live life as much as they can.
Cant believe Court TV's focus is on Maya's social life when we have often been told that her pain waxes and wains. Meanwhile, Court TV is mainly ignoring a HUGE issue facing the defense: the real possiblity that the hospital was, at the time Maya was there, having significant, widespread managment and safety issues. According to the plaintiff, the hospital nearly lost its accreditation. That's crazy!! Why are we not hearing more about this from Court TV?
Maybe Court TV is aligned with defense and JHACH, as they are with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Event 201, all corrupted and together.
Absurd to think a picture tells how persons feeling. This is the problem with chronic pain suffers they are judged that they must be fine if they put make up on Monday and actually wore clothes that matched. God for bid they crack a smile. Then they’re called hypocrites hypochondriacs, liars

I hope the jury is paying close attention, as to how Maya felt, having her clothes taken off. She felt violated, uncomfortable, abused and degraded. I hope the jury can imagine, how they would feel, if they have a daughter, sister, niece and against their will, had their clothes taken off. Bedy thought she could do whatever she chose to do, taking advantage of a young girl, a young girl who suffered a lot of pain, who was too weak to fight back, to keep her clothes on. The bedside nurse, said, Bedy stayed in the room, when she was changing Maya for court. The nurse said, she covers the patient with a blanket, finds a place to take her and only she and the patient are in the room in order to give her privacy, however, Bedy stayed. I wondered who took the pictures, did Bedy have a timer set🤔
Sometimes it is necessary to document child abuse evidence
The hospital staff making a big deal of someone swearing was ridiculous. All of a sudden they’re saintly.
I’m so glad Maya’s Father is honoring Beata’s wish
“Take Care Of Maya”. She had a few moments of fun , so the victim shaming and blaming began .Who cares what she wore for Halloween, what car she was in , who she was with or where . Pictures done by professionals are staged.I’m more interested in what JHACH has covered up .
He should have saved his wife as well. He was not involved and he should be as much to blame as anyone else.
@@4H2O4EVERand what do you think he should've done to save her?
Poor kid, can't even have a life without being scrutinized.
@@MotherMonteath-rp6bkAnderson should have investigators bring up dirt about Bedy and expose her further, scrutinized the hell out of her and all those good for nothing doctor's, character assignation. Play the same games the defense plays.
@@4H2O4EVER🙄
There's always a psychological factor to pain but it doesn't come out of nowhere that's for sure
It’s not always psychosomatic, what are you talking about. Sometimes yes but certainly not always
What an uninformed comment. If you get run over by a truck, remember your pain is psychological
I have CFS and Fibromyalgia. I have people questioning if my illness is real because I will often travel by myself and work remote. They don’t see me being in bed most of the time and having to be alone
There is obviously a dystonia presentation on the pic of her legs. The fact that they thought she was making it up, with an ankle extension like that, there’s no way. Looking at it seems painful
Unless you’re in pain 24/7 your pain isn’t real - ridiculous.
It's called flares. Get educated.
Maya is very smart and needs to become a lawyer and fight for people who have experienced similar to what this family has gone through.
My kid hides it when hes in pain, when hes hungry, etc. Thats why i have to constantly check. He doesnt like me worrying about him. These pictures dont tell anything at all whether she is in pain or not. How dare they think thay can take picture of pain. A lot of people pretend they are ok all the time.
What an angel. God bless Maya ❤
Why haven’t they asked her why she acted so differently(needing to be fed, etc) around her mom compared to having higher function when mom wasn’t around?!
She felt comfortable with her mom helping her. Mom's tend to want to do for their children when ill. I love being spoiled by my husband when I'm not well. Don't forget, she was a baby.
@@jamieharper808 i was just gonna say i always got babied when i was sick 😅😊 but one time i had a fever really bad and was super limp and had no strength that might be a symptom that could happen when she has reactions
Because they are lying . Not only that, it’s sort of like when our parents are around we are usually on our “best behavior “ whereas she was in pain; sad; missing her family . They are acting like she acted completely different . They are all LYING
And to add to that they didn’t Effing help the poor child !!! She laid in her on GD feces for crying out loud !!! She literally had No other choice !
Because it’s common sense kids act different when mom is around. My kids do 180 when I walk in the room even if they’re with their dad.
Not a clue who will prevail in this case but Maya is NOT believable on the stand. I’m not saying she’s lying; she’s just not believable.
So thankful I am not alone.
She’s totally believable! What do you mean? Is your last name Bede/Bedy?
In your opinion!
It’s just terrible how Maya and her family were treated. Shame on all involved. And for her to not know video calls were available to her. ☹️
The fact that she is being scrutinized and having to deal and cope and relive all of her past and anguish is bullshit! It's all just crazy to me. I feel for her so badly!!
one of the things I find fascinating.. isn't what the hospital did.....
it's all the things the hospital didn't do.
I am not a medical doctor.
I created my own college.
Yet, suppose I were a medical doctor and suppose that I had a patient I thought were being abused.
Now.. she tells me she is in pain. Ok.. how much pain are you in, on a scale of 1 to 10? she says "a 6"...
very well, I will prescribe a pain killer for you...
My point here, not being, is she in pain or not.. but I want to be very careful.. as I think she'd been abused.. i want her to start trusting herself. She can't believe in her.. if I, an adult, am bashing her all to pieces.
how often this hospital went out of its way to bash her all to pieces on top of this.
Why would you want to estrange said patient... if you thought she were being abused... wouldn't walking into a room, dominating an abuse victim, be like the last thing a medical doctor would want to do? If the abusers beat the abused into submission, why is the hospital and her staff, trying out out beat the abuser?
I wonder if she had had a cell phone on her..... taking videos every time someone walked in the door, if that phone would have survived.
if it had.. I wonder how many other charges would have come forth?
Even the name Cathi Bedy sounds like an evil villain from a Disney movie 😅
Your absolutely right stacey
I'm not buying it Ms Kowalski
I hope this process of being able to tell her story and speak from her own recollection is empowering for Maya Kowalski. Being mistreated and over handled - over worked etc while being a vulnerable young sick person in hospital care away from your family has to be a most traumatic ongoing experience with the various episode described.
They should have other people with CRPS who can describe how the pain can come and go. I know my son can.
The fact that she went on without pain meds and only did her workout routine for a year to be able to walk again tells me everything I need to know. The hospital was right, she was being sedated and her crps “lesions” are actually just scratches.
She’s all over social media wearing makeup, testimony about her wearing makeup since she was a 10 year old, now she comes to court bare-faced? Of course she’s going to look sickly under fluorescent lights. I see a try-hard. I’m not saying I don’t feel bad for what happened to her family, but someone had to step in before she overdosed and died. This suit is a cash-grab.
Then why did Johns Hopkins bill the insurance company tens of thousands for treating Maya for CRPS? If she wasn't seriously ill why did they keep her in the hospital for months?
How could her father allow his daughter to be drugged nearly to death. There is something wrong with Jack Kowalski.
Cool opinion, babe.
@@theresanault5219They had to keep her in the hospital because the court ordered them to.
So wearing make up means your not in pain or suffering? Is your judgement based on the fact that ketamine is used recreational? Have you actually watched the trail as a whole? I love how there are hands holding her in place for the photos. If she wasn't in pain why is she being held down? This is a case on how the system and narrow minded people treat other people without looking at ALL the facts. Her parents did what they needed to do for their child. The system let her down no one else. Open your mind up and look at everything as a whole not what you want to believe.
CRPS can come and go hour to hour.
If you are reading this there’s a reason……No matter how good or bad you have it,wake up each day thankful for your life.Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs ❤️🇧🇸
I’m sorry but I’d rather be at war than living with abusers because in war you die once
In an abusive environment you die every day
I bet Hopkins Hospital will take action against all staff, especially Bety, after the lawsuit is done. The hospital will allow Bety to expose more children to harm until then.
She doesn't like pictures when she is sick. But that is exactly what the mother was doing. Photos and videos.
The mother probably kept them for her record's and documentation, knowing she was going to need them. Maya wasn't uncomfortable of her mother taking photos, only stranger's. Why can't you understand? I wouldn't want strangers taking photos of my kids.
For this little girl never talk to her mother in a private conversation for 3 months never a hug or kiss they are quilty as sin. The suicide of her dear loving mother they asked yes it is there fault ask any mother if she would be be charged as a criminal and told she would never see her daughter again. Her mother cared for her and was a educated nurse. find this hospital quilty!
Dear loving mothers do not suicide ie abandon their children.
@@lunarphoenixforyourface toss around veiled threat much?
Kids who are heavlily drugged by their captors at a young age are not really going to remember that much as a matter of the crime facts that affect them!
HUH...!?!?!?
Mayas father should be ashamed of himself. This is like a snake oil operation.

@@twocents7495 you might need to get some professional help with yours. So there, is the difference!
@@abbylux6991 I happen to have noticed that his daughter was retraumitized every day she worked for him in court.
The whole explanation regarding the photos makes zero sense. Why would two sets of photos be taken with a wardrobe change in between? The photo in the wheelchair had to be taken earlier in the day based on the sunlight streaming in. I hope the jury is looking at actual evidence in this case.
The people who worked for this hospital were people who had put in incredible TIME AND MONEY, years of their lives, training to take care of seriously ill children. These people are motivated to lie, harm, disable children, or damage their families??? Do you understand that these are people who have trained for years to try to help children???? THEY HAD NO MOTIVE to HARM MAYA OR HER FAMILY. They were acting as COURT MANDATED REPORTERS to report suspicions they had regarding possible child abuse, which clearly existed with Maya, as many of her providers doubted her diagnosis, and were very uncomfortable with the treatment her parents were relentlessly pushing for. THESE PEOPLE WERE NEVER SEEKING TO DESTROY THIS FAMILY. THESE PROFESSIONALS WERE INSTEAD PUTTING THEMSELVES ON THE LINE, TRYING, IN THEIR VIEW, TO PROTECT THIS CHILD. Get down off of your armchair high horses and think critically for a second. Why would all these good people who have spent their careers trying to care for gravely ill children and their families suddenly change into soul sucking, incompetent, evil beasts when it came to Maya and her family? There was NO MALICE. I'm not God. Were they right, or not? Who knows. It's very muddy whether she ever even had this syndrome or not. Reasonable people, highly trained medical professionals, can even obviously disagree. It's all clear as mud. But understand, these professionals are working in incredibly difficult circumstances, trying to do their best for their patients and families!!! Don't believe that? Then keep your children at home and employ your crystals, and voodoo cards the next time they develop an infection, or horrible pain syndrome, and spare us all, especially your children's MEDICAL providers, your obviously supreme sense of all knowing sense of self righteousness. EVERYONE LOST THE DAY6 BEATA CHOSE TO TAKE HER LIFE, INCLUDING ALL THESE PROFESSIONALS WHO WAKE UP EARLY AND STAY LATE, giving up precious time with their own families in order to better serve other children and their families because they are dedicated to the children they care for day in, and day out. The EASY PATH, would have been to do whatever the Kowalski's wanted them to do. Less documentation. Less litigation. Less NOISE. Did they do that? NO! They took the hard route. The route THEY felt was best for a child viewed as vulnerable, and likely a victim of child abuse. But you know better, right? Nail them to the wall, right? And then complain, COMPLAIN, MOAN, and scream, when NO ONE WILL ADMIT YOUR CHILD TO THE HOSPITAL for uncontrolled, inexplicable pain because the risk of litigation is too high. I wouldn't touch your kid with a 10 foot pole, but then they are better people than me.
Enough with the SAME comments already...do you just copy and paste it EVERY WHERE ?
It is disgusting how this hospital and the staff treated Maya. What I do not understand is that they never interviewed some of the other nurses and people that had contact with Maya while she was there for three months. Clearly this hospital hid a lot.
That is the defence lawyer to investagete.
A lot of the time, we are in pain, a lot of pain, but we're so tired of our friends stop inviting us places, because we constantly flake out on them. So I know people who will be at a 7 or 8 or higher on pain, but they Force themselves to go to a social situation, number one because of depression.. issue is, you start to have the self-hatred when you keep missing plans and invites... A number 2, people don't like being around people who are in pain, so we mask it a lot, so the people who are around us don't have that look on their face that people give you when you're in pain..
A mixture of pity and annoyance, I'm assuming it similar to the feeling that someone has before they want to take An injured animal out of their misery..
I hate getting those looks
People don't like being around people who are in pain people who are in pain know this
It’s not just the hospital they didn’t believe her-your employee Julie Grant disregarded Maya’s pain too! You should be ashamed, Julie Grant!
Pity you don't show Cathi Bedys mug shot photo from when she eas arrested for child abuse.
Dr. Lewis is accused of violating one of the highest protected standards of interviewing victims... forced leading questions. Brave girl.
Wait wait wait wait wait hold on a moment, I see these photos multiple times, but I just realized, since she changed bras, that means that those women were in the room helping her or forcing her to change her bra so they saw her nipples?
Are we 100% sure no pictures were taken during that time? And that the pictures were just removed from the set early on?
Were all the serial numbers sequential for the photos that are inevitance? What the h*** were they doing taking her bra off like I understand taking off that color bra and putting on a white bra before a court, but with a camera in the room?
She was 10 years old. I imagine at age 10, it may have felt like a sexual assault for people to forcibly take her clothes off.
When is the line crossed from protectors to victimizers?
Poor girl. I can only imagine how she must have felt during her time in the hospital. As a child I was in an hospital for surgery on my eyes. I was blindfolded an I was in a room with a very old lady, which was more dead than alive. I could only hear her heavy breathing, she did not speak to me at all. I was sooo scared. No radio, no TV, no book, no visits. My parents were only allowed to step by for a few hours in the afternoon. I was all alone and to my knowledge I was then even younger then Maya. And the nurses were nuns without any empathy😢. This was approx. 50 years ago and I still remember it all too well. But I cannot compare my pain then, with the pain this poor child must have felt. It's a disgrace! I wish her all the best for her future and for all the other (bad) people involved ...may they burn in hell.
Interesting the defense commenting that the photo in the wheelchair was supposedly taken at night after court but there’s clear sunlight coming through the window
It’s still daylight at 8pm here in dories . What’s the big deal???
@@audramuth4147Sunset is around 6 pm in Florida in January, dude; what’s the big deal?
It has been intimated that she is a liar. She lied about her pain, she lied about what she was able to do, she lied about being able to move on her own, she lied about using profanity. She lies to get her way...
BINGO
DIFFERENT NECKLACES AS WELL. I think there were two sets why would they keep taking photos if she wasn't accomodating. I think she is not telling the truth. Next time they should use time stamps.
There are two photos of her that don't look that old where she is clearly wearing gold chain necklaces. They are definitely not silver. I wish the defense would have submitted those as evidence, That way, he could have ended his cross of her showing those photos and asking her, "Didn't you say that you don't wear gold jewelry due to PTSD from Cathy Bedy?" It would have been a great way to end on an impeachment of her previous testimony!
I have fibromyalgia with sciatica and i get flare up. I have pain everyday of my life in different degrees. I know somewhat what maya went through. Obviously hers is much worse. They call it a invisible disease for a reason.
Sometimes i wish i could touch a person for them only to feel a day of my pain to just understand
Have a flare up right now actually
Tbh I doubt that mayas worse.
CRPS is worse then what you have but maya s version of CRPS is kinda different because she claims to have days without pain.
And I do suffer from CRPS myself there’s days where I’m better than other but not a single day without pain so yea idk
Not saying she doesn’t have it tho
I have bad upper back pain thats enough!I'm so sorry people are going through such pain😢
This hospital took Maya childhood life and destroyed it and the effects of there power trip effective her mother in way nobody could explain what and how it destroyed her as well to committee the worst imageable act of unleashing herself! Now Maya will never get to talk to her mother about plannings a wedding or having grandchildren or just picking up the phone to call her mother just to say hi! I hope you get more than 200 million!!!
No. Her mother stole her childhood and made her suffer.
Why is the cart before the horse here with hearing two civil law cases about Maya's horrific treamtment and abuse on her before the crimes against child case on the JH hospital staff?
Oh wow. Maya doesn’t remember much now!! Now she’s been documented swearing and being abusive. She is such a liar.
Are you slow? Like seriously? Youre the only person who seems to think like you do. She is not a liar, but I'd bet you are, and an a$$
She is liar!!
Maya: “ I was stripped and de-robed down to my Shopkins Bra…most traumatic experience of my entire life, this traumatic event gave me PTSD, I’m now homebound and have no quality of life…BUT I can’t really remember all the details”
Remember, this is ketamine slowly infused... not rapidly pushed, and it's certainly not fentanyl.
I feel she did lie about swearing and being abusive
If the hospital did to Maya what Beata did to her, then I'd understand this lawsuit.
Agreed
Facts
Are employers not responsible for their employees and their employees actions? And it was doctors and the hospital that kept Maya there and had Beatie there monitoring her. She’s not a nurse. She was literally there to watch her. Which is what the hospital wamted
DISGUSTING COMMENT!!!!!! 😡
Hasn't this poor girl been through enough already!!
No one forced her to file a civil suit.. kowalskis did this voluntarily… so no.. they clearly haven’t had enough. Jack has sued everyone and anyone from Illinois to Florida ..he’s a professional victim
She is lying. Her representations are carefully constructed to be unfalsifiable. Her very disturbed mother has succeeded in making Maya into a professional patient.
Who do you know on defense?
All her statements ring true! The JH hospital staff are smug, and talk lots of babble to deflect from the abuse they exacted against this poor family.
The only big liar is hospital machine
Exactly. The defensee is lying about “Ketamine girl.” Because her experience is totally normal.
WTF! Absolutely disgusting comment
Incredibly intelligent young lady. She outsmarted those lame defense lawyers.
My father passed away by suicide. If the hospital did not say to her mother “die” then I am sorry, but this is not the hospitals faults. It is a shame they are blaming a hospital and even any neglect that may have happened- contributing it to a suicide. Nobody can ever know the truth other than the individual.
It’s not just about the mothers death! That’s a contributing factor. They held the child captive for months on end!!!! I suggest you do yourself a favour and look into this much further before making an uneducated comment. There were even acts of SA while she was held against her will. I sure hope you never have a child that goes through this!!!!
The defense shot themselves in the foot woth these pictures, Maya just wanted a pain free life.
And, by all appearances, she's been living one. Albeit surrounded by people insisting to her that she is a some sort of sickly, lifelong victim.
@@PennyxXxDreadful May God help you if you ever face chronic pain.
@@ChaiCrimes I already do.
The complete and utter GASLIGHTING FROM THE DEFENSE IS INSANE. The lawyers and doctors and nurses gaslighted this poor girl the entire time she was in the hospital . Let this be a lesson people . Just because someone doesn’t “look” sick, doesn’t mean they ARENT sick. They have a disease you can’t see on the outside.
How in the hell would she know what the psychologist “wrote down?” She was 10 years old and wouldn’t be on the same side as the psychologist and his pen. Sorry, not buying it.
She did not know at the time, she was able to read those notes after they were released to her. Allowing her to now testify that they were incorrect.
I think they asking to much of money they made a lot of the Netflix and more I think they using this to the point that is just money so sad
0:44 why did Anderson sound so annoyed when she just needed clarification
CourtTv more concerned about photographs rather than the report that JHACH was in jeopardy of losing certification because, among other things doctors/nurses stopped washing their hands.
Remember folks Beata had to tell the nurse to flush her pic line. Which hadn’t been flushed in accordance with standards.
Read the first 3 paragraphs in the 2019 report, this hospital should be bankrupted, sally Smith Kathy Bedy and the rest of the 7th floor coven should never be allowed near children.
i have twin daughters and they were very vain at a very young age so i understand this little girl was not willing to undresse
No pics no pics no pics…. I don’t care this is a million dollar case.. she’s doing too much..
she looks really unwell during the trial.
witnesses for both sides agree there were only two people taking the pictures, so like, lets move on, my guys
She eye blocks hardcore the second she looks at the jury when the judge asks if they have questions. What are you blocking from the jury, there, Maya?
“Eye blocks?”
The nurse should be behind bars,shame on her and lying she shouldn't be a nurse she is disgusting human being.
Extremely intelligent ✅
Extremely evil😅
I have not been keeping up with this trial. Are they suing the hospital for poor treatment or for the mother committing suicide ?
The défense makes me sick!!! 😡
What a lovely lady
I don’t understand why Cathy Bedy was removed from the case prior to the court proceedings. She caused so much of Maya’s torment
Sense when did state and county social services DCF / CPS get juristrician on right or wrong of parent doing in MEXICO anyway?
I see a very angry girl. I see a girl flooded with guilt that her cries for attention that lead them down this path ended this way. She has to blame everyone but herself or her mother. Disrobing? When you are in the hospital as much as Maya, and supposedly in this much pain... to say the photos were one of the most traumatized events her if life is a stretch. I see in her the over exaggerating. I see in her an attempt at directing the jurors by reminding them of how she is not lying but everyone else is. And now she doesn't remember because of steroids. Everyone is lying but Maya and her family. An NG tube hurts, I know this! This is crazy. There are TRUE medical accidents and deaths that deserve this amount of coverage and money for lawyers. If this was never on Netflix everyone would be clueless and not care. Maya is protecting her mother by sticking to the story.
What a disgusting comment!!!!!! I certainly hope you never have a child that gets SA’d in hospital whilst being held captive. Do yourself a favour and research the case fully before making such accusations!!!!! What a vile human you are.
Hugs, kid💓
9,10 14 year old girls are not to speak up for themselves...WRONG...!!!
