I think this mother was exhausted, sleep, deprived, and frantic. They were not allowing her to speak to her child. You have the overbearing, judgmental and grossly inappropriate social worker, trying to stand in the mommy role of her daughter. Sleep, deprivation by itself could lead to suicide or suicidal ideations. it’s really disgusting when the attorneys for the hospital said to Jack and Maia “I’m sorry for your loss”. No, you’re not.

If he was genuinely sorry, for the loss of Maya's mother, he would recuse himself from representing JHCH. He doesn't! I would like to ask Mr. Shapiro, how much are you being paid to represent JHCH, since he likes to ask the plaintiff's witnesses, how much do they charge.

YES....Someone who has stated exactly the dire fear Beata was struggling with. She was terrified that Maya was unsafe in JHACH and by God so would I have been if it had been my child. She took her life because she was certain she had lost her. ALL the evidence is in the videos, emails and testimonies that Dr Smith and Cathi Bedy were determined to separate Maya from the family for the rest of her childhood, if they hadn't killed her first. At no time did those two show an ounce of compassion or humility when being questioned. At no time did they doubt their insufficiently evidenced diagnoses of Conversion syndrome and Munchausen by proxy syndrome, even after being told by a specialist in the management of pain, that these were not correct diagnoses. Each of these 2 women under question were evasive in their answers or sought to deny any responsibility in their atrocious treatment of Maya. They both should be, at least, removed from their professions and/ or possibly made to stand trial for abuse of Maya and her family.😊
it also proves beyond a doubt that she is not currently causing any of her daughter's symptoms so it forces them to take a new route that could help her. this is so heartbreaking.
The most important part of all this, Beata was right. Whether she is no longer here, it doesn't matter. Beata did everything a good Nurse would do, DOCUMENTATION. If it weren't for her knowledge of the healthcare system they might have lost everything.
She killed herself to save her child? Wow sounds like a great idea. More like because she was on her way to prison.

Everyone in this comment section are blind and cannot see through this family and their game,their lies. Suicide has never been so adored. Really? This world is calling evil good and good evil. Now what? Anyone who actually is abusing their child can say.."Hey let's take our kid we just almost killed to John Hopkins hospital! They can't arrest us for our kids bashed in head!!!" Really?!! Where is the Truth here? Piled under a heap of Beata's power struggle even after death this narcissist woman put her manipulative personality disorder to work over these doctors who were spot on in their suspicions. I totally disagree with the verdict, the reason for the court battle which was for Beata because the hospital made her kill herself. If this all comes down to actually getting the bad parents, not the good parents, not taking their kids for no reason then I would be all for Beata. But seeing it's all for Beata like revenge, it seems, forget it. This whole case is just not right.
With out a doubt, I too firmly believe this. She felt there was literally no other option. And she was right. Her death brought national attention to this situation.
it's one of the best hospitals in the entire world and we can't even trust them. who can we trust? in my experience as a patient and medical professional, no one. encountering a truly compassionate care team who is able to coordinate appropriately is RARE and only going to become more rare. it's not bc of shortages. it's bc of money and other capital gain which includes personal gratification via harassment, bullying, abuse, authority, reputation, etc etc etc.

Absolutely criminal what happened to this family! Seems like these people did not like to be questioned by the mother and then chose to go down a very bad path! Justice needed!
This is a tragic story. I lost my wife because of the care she received or didn't receive from a hospital in Michigan. I am seeing a lawyer to see what I can do.
So sorry. --- Comfort will find in the Scriptures, that promise resurrection from "sleep". Sure as tomorrow's sunrise. ☀ ---- But that won't bring her back in this Age of life, sadly. If malpractice cost you your wife, may God grant you _justice._
Oh is he? He may not be punished or made to pay for his heartless decision to not allow Mrs. Kowalski to hug her daughter am sure his conscience would bear a great deal for his cruelty if he still has a conscience. Karma is just around the corner.
The poor mother. I cannot imagine her level of stress for her daughter being kept from her. The hospital is responsible for the trauma incurred by this family. I hope they have to pay big time!
@@Sead671that is exactly right! The judge’s decision is based off what he was told by the hospital & this crazy Cathy lady. Imagine being that poor girl’s mother.. hearing her little voice on those phone calls (obviously suffering) but not being able to be there to comfort her.. I don’t think I’d be able to to hold it together the way she did.. yet she still managed to sound positive for her.. This is just unbelievably tragic I like this guy not letting the defence twist his testimony!
Unfortunately all of that social workers other victims do understand that anguish. At the time Maya and her family were put through this she had already been jailed for child abuse. You'd think if a hospital was taking away and isolating a child for three months someone would check if the only one telling them it's ok to do so someone would check to see if that person has a habit of crushing small special needs children with her knees.
Yes, --- especially in such a crucial filed --- should take much care in _who they hire,_ and how they are doing their job, year to year. One can start-out sincere and fair, then wind-up full of suspicions, and arrogant with usurped power over others lives! Trampled over, this family's once happy life.
She committed suicide because she felt this overwhelming feeling and pain that she would never see her daughter again. She was feeling guilty that her daughter was suffering and she could not be by her side. She ended her life because there was no more hope for her in this situation. She didn’t do it to save Mya she did it because the pain was over barring and couldn’t take it anymore. That my friends is suicide . You commit it when the pain is more then your mind and body can take.
Yes!! I was 11 when my dad killed himself. I know he reached the point of no return. I’m 62 now and have learned sooooo much since that day. The night before it happened my 15 yrs sister at the time called his dr. and begged for help. They said, let him sleep. We’ll talk to u in the morning. Well, morning came. I heard a noise, a scream that woke me. I saw my balcony door open and proceeded to go out and looked down, there he was. Life changed as I knew at that moment. I sympathize for this family and others who live with this sad pain.
Am glad after all the objections were thrown by the defense could not save the hospital from losing the case. The payback is so enormous and a big win for the Kowalskis and the justice for Beata who was falsely accused of child abuse.
Because poor Beata is gone (in this Age only), I did not think of that: her name and character as a responsible and loving _mother_ had been slandered and smeared! --- In death it does her no good --- though she will live again --- but her memory is not left marred with false-witness testimony. So she can be rightly honored. May she _Rest in Peace._ 🥀🕯
I have sympathy for this foreign-born mom. She had to get used to a different system. And we are supposed to have freedom of religion which doesn't stop at the doors of a hospital. Lack of respect for the parents. The medical staff and social workers are not our gods. Humans can make mistakes. Get a degree of humility.
@@TheRealLittleBiddle the medical consensus was that it was crazy amounts of Katamine for a child. So if that's the case, the doctors had a reason to protect her.
@@adish7275 "medical consensus"? a bunch of drs who watch each others' backs in one facility. you know a lot of medications are dangerous, right? the decisions are made with a quality of life in mind. i have a similar condition that painfully destroys nerves slowly. if they found smth that worked, withholding it with no comparably effective treatment is cruel. parents have faced the same issues when medical marijuana was a kid's only option. ketamine isn't even illegal or unregulated. also, do we have info saying she is taking it daily or did you make that up? bc usually it's a couple infusions every few months.
Beata was such an intelligent, loving and devoted mother. I feel like her sacrifice was her last resort for her daughter’s safety and to fight the system and make them pay for their action. What a wonderful woman. Evil exists even in a hospital when you are most vulnerable.
This is absolutely diabolical to withhold a mother from seeing her daughter and hugging her in court. How could anyone do such a horrible thing to a child!?
I noticed when the defense drilled-down on a certain technical point, the deeper he pushed-it, _the worst it got for his defense. Seems he realized that, and just quit!
She committed the act to eliminate herself has a factor to get her daughter out of that hospital. Just wow. This poor woman exhausted every option and that what she felt would help. Shame on these people the judge who sided with the hospital included. Shame on them.
Such a tragic case. I just hope this family wins big so they can move forward in healing some and live their life to the fullest! It’s sickening what this hospital and many of the caregivers did. Justice for Maya and family!💜
if I were Maya- frankly the whole family- you can get Polish citizenship easily if you have a family member born in Poland--and thus EU citizenship. Easy. Impossible for most but not if you have family who wasn't just a citizen but was a BORN citizen in Poland . I'd dump the US passport and get the Polish one and then seek treatment in Poland or a humane and wealthy country, Germany etc. They have enough money now. It would also ease her phobia of the health system which is more f-ed up in the US than any other country i have ever seen
Cathy Beaty was the cause of her suicide she needs to be held accountable for it she destroyed that family and she should hold her head in shame from here now on
You may be right, but in her testimony, I studied her like a psychologist might. And she did not _seem_ as villainous as Maya portrayed her. Though I did not doubt Maya's testimony. Though watching Ms. Bedy, did cause me to pause. Makes me realize how _deceitful_ --- by self-deluded behavior or deliberate manipulation --- human beings can be! Only conclusions I can draw, is Ms. Bedy has some very serious mental issues she is blind to or in denial about the wrong she allegedly did, or she is a very good actress. As for Ms. Smith, with her more obvious, the sanctimonious arrogant-certainty, as from one gripped with a "god-complex".
The heat fall, spiteful defense attorneys did not do themselves any favors by acting the way they did. The hospital just needs to write the check. They definitely are not looking favorable.
No. It’s needed to be a public trial. This is setting a precedent for other family who have face similar circumstances that this same hospital and at other hospitals.
doubt Maya or family would have agreed. This needed to be PUBLIC. we all know this stuff goes on, but now there is legal precedent, and the jury made it very clear they thought the hospital was a piece of garbage @@esk2g
S. Smith assessed Beata’s qualities as a mother and failed in her assessment. She made a personalised decision based on Beata’s personality and character and that to me is the sign of a narcissist and a complete gross mismanagement of power !!
@@LuvableAFher father was also there and let’s be honest there are side effects to any and all medications. So basically what you’re saying is no one should seek treatment because of side effects?
I am saying, if the Mother listened to the doctor who said "the pain is from the steroids, should be about a month" instead of running May to Mexico, none of this would have happened. Ketamine Coma sounds Crazy. And the Ketamine paralyzed a healthy 10 year old. The mother and Mexico doctors should have been responsible for Mayas injuries, not John Hopkins. I would have been sus about that family as well...Ketamine Coma? Jeesh @@tammyirwin703
@@LuvableAF Please stop playing doctor in the comment section. It doesn't suit you, and you're clearly ignorant to the actual facts of this civil trial.
I think Maya’s mom felt that she and she alone was the reason Maya was not allowed to come home and she was so upset she believed if she removed herself from the equation everything would return to normal. I feel so terrible for the family. I hope other hospitals learn from this case but I don’t have confidence
I have to say I don’t like the lawyer for the hospital at all. It’s obvious that the mother committed suicide was because of the hospital period, they need to be held accountable
The hospital should have been more careful. I understand watching out for children, but clearly, they are at fault. Some careful supervision and common sense would have prevented this. The judge made a fatal mistake as well. A message must be sent that they do not have free reign to do what they did to this family or any future families.
She clearly has CRPS. Did you see the pics of her leg discoloration! How did she manage that as a conversion disorder? If she has CRPS then Munchausen is not the diagnosis. No pain meds for one of the most painful conditions on the planet? That's horrific. They took her off all the pain meds.
@@libertyna933 This is a case of several people that were so self righteous and egotistical that they just refused to admit they were wrong and drove a woman to suicide. It’s disgusting what they did. And like you said, there were physical signs that proved their complete wrongness and they just ignored those and pushed forward with their agenda. They were going to be right come hell or high water, and hell came. These people make me sick to my stomach and as far as I’m concerned they are torturers and murderers.
So do I . They TORTURED this family ....because they didn't like Beada being "pushy". That is some EVIL revenge for feeling someone like someone is trying to push you ! What kind of EGO does one have to have to go to such monstrous lengths to put someone on their place ! They TORTURED this dear family .
Sorry but if Beata would have followed the advice if her attorney she would have had her daughter back home. Instead she inflicted life long heartbreak for her daughter and son
For this supposed hearing to determine whether Maya could go home or not didn't they have to sign a paper also stating that her mom had Munchausen by proxy (I am so sorry I know I butchered that). All of those people that supposedly "treated" Maya (besides the very select few who were good to her like her physical therapy lady) should be in prison or in the least lose their license to practice.
This is just criminal what these people did to this family , its not the first and it wont be the last , i bet mayas mother guided this court case from day one
It's unthinkable that such a renowned and awarded hospital as the likes of the Jhon hopskins hospital committed such crime is really disgusting to know this makes you wonder what else it's being done
The crimes committed during the Scamdemic (just a few years forward from 2016) in hospitals, --- the sad Maya-case shows with some, the grounds was already being laid for rise of _abusive authoritative arrogance_ ---- should have opened all our eyes. There have been many Mayas since the tyranny-unleashed Red China COVID fraud. --- And too many of their stories, also ended in death, if not disablement, --- And many wounded families. --- Hospitals not left guiltless.
he did well answering the defence lawyers questions.......the last thing they want to here when they ask them a question they want you to agree with is the word FALSE....lol
I do not think so. (I can see the jury feeling pity for Maya tho) Just as a bystander watching this trial, it seemed there was some faking or Munch By Prox going on. Her pain started **after she was given steroids for chronic asthma, and after looking up CRPS, it makes no sense how it "suddenly" started. Plus heavy Ketamine use causes leg paralysis apparently.
@@LuvableAF I would have a hard time being on that jury. You feel sorry for the family, but not everything that happened was the hospital's fault. I only watched the opening statements, so I am sure what has happened.
@mommyissuesasmr8040 your understanding of CRPS is incorrect. It is often triggered by a small injury, illness, or treatment for illnesses. Those are the most common ways it begins. So your basis on which you base your assumption of MBP is simply wrong.
If you ever do watch, start with Maya testimony. Her memory was flawless perfection for 8 years ago, and she was only 9 at the time. She even claimed one Doctor wore a lab coat when visiting her, and that Contract Doctor said she had never wore one "ever". But she is frail and blonde, so likely will get the money. @@azrobbins01
There are two professions I despise wholeheartedly, one is politicians and the other is lawyers. I think what Maya had to go through is horrible and if proven, no amount of many will ever compensate her loss, however, these lawyers make my skin crawl!
The doctor from Mexico should have never told Mayas mother that she will die a slow and painful death if she doesn’t receive the treatment he prescribed. That was very wrong of him and I believe that contributed to her suicide. You should never make definite statements like that.
This Doctor is risking his credential it’s a lot easier to testify against the hospital, since this doctor was treating the mother, I truly think he’s as much responsible as the hospital.
Cathi Bedy and JHAGH owes this family. Cathi Bedy will always be known for the horrible person she is. In my opinion she is just as guilty as the doctors/nurses in the death of Beata Kowalski.
Those who havnt studied MBP dont realize. Its rare. It goes on and on til they are stopped. This hospital put a stop to it and SHE TOOK HER LIFE. CONSCIOUS CHOICE
The daughter was diagnosed with the illness the mother insisted her daughter be treated for. She has recieved treatment for that illness without issues, even by the same hospital, all after the mother committed suicide. So who was right, and who was wrong? Who is really guilty of hurting the child? IMO it was the hospital, not even counting all the pain and suffering they put the family through.
I was talking about the coertion that was placed on women who were pregnant to get married and I said what would happen if someone died as a result of the pressure?. They would just say that they would obviously not have made a good Mother. It's very easy if you are being judged by a hospital and their staff for them to take the moral high ground.
@@LuvableAFLike the witness above stated…….it was an impulsive act kinda like a dam breaking. Beata had suffered so much despair, pain, worry, just frantic to keep Maya correctly cared for that when the judge refused even just a hug. The dam broke! There was no prior evidence to show the mother had any mental illness before Maya got sick…….but this ordeal definitely affected her mental health and her dam broke.
The fact she hung herself within 87 days of not seeing her daughter, (3 months) is a Major sign of Mental illness. Who does that?? What if Maya hit by a car and died? Would she have done that to herself?? Probably not. She knew the game was over. But Maya will likely win with that pitiful look.@@reneesantiago6496
Un aliving yourself is actually a symptom of MH-BP. I never understood why she did the suicide to begin with. Made no sense when the possiblity of her return to seeing Maya was bound to happen....
Baeta also had a young Son at home. Her reaction to a temporary restraining order was not in alignment with "a mother who is just missing her kid". Baeta forgot about her son at home.@@sandymcpartlon9972
It was the loss of control. Her entire life and identity was being the mother and caretaker of a sickly child. Even though she had a husband and another child, it was the loss of control. The fear that when Maya comes home, she might be able to walk and be stronger without the ketamine comas. Maya and the ketamine induced comas were her entire existence has a human being and without being able to go back to a time of constant ketamine infusions and comas she realized that when Maya comes home, she'll be stronger and healthier and continue to make steps and improve without her. The hospital said, ok Maya does have this diagnosis so we'll do this treatment plan that has been proven to be very effective in children Maya’s age with this condition but Beata refused. For Beata the Maya she knew and was accustomed to wouldn't be the same Maya that came home. The Maya coming home was going to be able to walk. For Beata the hospital took her child from her and was going to give her a different one that could walk and be like everyone else, so she took her life as a final FU 🖕 to everyone, particularly the hospital.
Loss of control .Very nicely put, I agree in every way, and only know enough to know what you said seems accurate. It makes no sense that she would kill herself, unless she would lose in the end of all this somehow. And if she was so innocent, she would know she would see Maya soon. @@OmEvul1415
Anybody in Florida that becomes in danger to themselves due to pressure or what Mrs. Beata was going through is a factor to be Becker act? Just asking.

This is a tragic story. I lost my wife because of the care she received or didn't receive from a hospital in Michigan. I am seeing a lawyer to see what I can do.
Which hospital?
Best of luck to you. And I'm so very sorry for your loss. 💔
Was it Ascension?
So sorry. --- Comfort will find in the Scriptures, that promise resurrection from "sleep".
Sure as tomorrow's sunrise. ☀
---- But that won't bring her back in this Age of life, sadly.
If malpractice cost you your wife, may God grant you _justice._
I'm so glad these attorneys FAILED and cost Johns Hopkins $260 million. I hope they lay awake each night.
A mother had to kill herself as a last ditch effort to get her daughter the care she desperately needed is sad.
Thank you 🎯
I wonder if this judge feels any guilt whatsoever for being the person who denied Beata to even hug her daughter. So cruel & heartless 🤬
Is this the same judge? Surely they should have a different judge.
Not the same Judge
@@GGLaVitaMiathis is a different judge!
Oh is he? He may not be punished or made to pay for his heartless decision to not allow Mrs. Kowalski to hug her daughter am sure his conscience would bear a great deal for his cruelty if he still has a conscience. Karma is just around the corner.
This Mother could not see her on her birthday or Christmas. Big days between a Mother and Child.
The poor mother. I cannot imagine her level of stress for her daughter being kept from her. The hospital is responsible for the trauma incurred by this family. I hope they have to pay big time!
True and the judge may have not granted her that hug but that's because of what the hospital was writing/saying about the mother.
@@Sead671that is exactly right! The judge’s decision is based off what he was told by the hospital & this crazy Cathy lady. Imagine being that poor girl’s mother.. hearing her little voice on those phone calls (obviously suffering) but not being able to be there to comfort her.. I don’t think I’d be able to to hold it together the way she did.. yet she still managed to sound positive for her.. This is just unbelievably tragic
I like this guy not letting the defence twist his testimony!
Unfortunately all of that social workers other victims do understand that anguish. At the time Maya and her family were put through this she had already been jailed for child abuse. You'd think if a hospital was taking away and isolating a child for three months someone would check if the only one telling them it's ok to do so someone would check to see if that person has a habit of crushing small special needs children with her knees.
The jury’s questions are telling. Such a heartbreaking case :(
In addition to suing the hospital, that family should sue Suncoast company that Dr. Sally Smith, who is employed by
Yes, --- especially in such a crucial filed --- should take much care in _who they hire,_ and how they are doing their job, year to year.
One can start-out sincere and fair, then wind-up full of suspicions, and arrogant with usurped power over others lives!
Trampled over, this family's once happy life.
She committed suicide because she felt this overwhelming feeling and pain that she would never see her daughter again. She was feeling guilty that her daughter was suffering and she could not be by her side. She ended her life because there was no more hope for her in this situation. She didn’t do it to save Mya she did it because the pain was over barring and couldn’t take it anymore. That my friends is suicide . You commit it when the pain is more then your mind and body can take.
Yes!!
I was 11 when my dad killed himself. I know he reached the point of no return.
I’m 62 now and have learned sooooo much since that day.
The night before it happened my 15 yrs sister at the time called his dr. and begged for help.
They said, let him sleep. We’ll talk to u in the morning.
Well, morning came. I heard a noise, a scream that woke me.
I saw my balcony door open and proceeded to go out and looked down, there he was.
Life changed as I knew at that moment.
I sympathize for this family and others who live with this sad pain.
@@jacquelineflynn-morgan1968❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What happened to this family is so deeply horrifying, it will stick with me for a long time.
Am glad after all the objections were thrown by the defense could not save the hospital from losing the case. The payback is so enormous and a big win for the Kowalskis and the justice for Beata who was falsely accused of child abuse.
Because poor Beata is gone (in this Age only), I did not think of that: her name and character as a responsible and loving _mother_ had been slandered and smeared! --- In death it does her no good --- though she will live again --- but her memory is not left marred with false-witness testimony. So she can be rightly honored.
May she _Rest in Peace._ 🥀🕯
I have sympathy for this foreign-born mom. She had to get used to a different system. And we are supposed to have freedom of religion which doesn't stop at the doors of a hospital. Lack of respect for the parents. The medical staff and social workers are not our gods. Humans can make mistakes. Get a degree of humility.
But that has no impact on the question was 1500 mg katamine a day indangering Maya. That was the treatment she wanted.
@@adish7275Are you a doctor? You know that helped Maya
@@TheRealLittleBiddle the medical consensus was that it was crazy amounts of Katamine for a child. So if that's the case, the doctors had a reason to protect her.
@@adish7275She wanted? She was getting that dosis, prescribed from another doctor, not Beata. 🙄🙄🙄
@@adish7275 "medical consensus"? a bunch of drs who watch each others' backs in one facility. you know a lot of medications are dangerous, right? the decisions are made with a quality of life in mind. i have a similar condition that painfully destroys nerves slowly. if they found smth that worked, withholding it with no comparably effective treatment is cruel. parents have faced the same issues when medical marijuana was a kid's only option. ketamine isn't even illegal or unregulated. also, do we have info saying she is taking it daily or did you make that up? bc usually it's a couple infusions every few months.
Beata was such an intelligent, loving and devoted mother. I feel like her sacrifice was her last resort for her daughter’s safety and to fight the system and make them pay for their action. What a wonderful woman. Evil exists even in a hospital when you are most vulnerable.
I went thru similar experiences with same hospital it was devastating. The HOSPITAL KILLED THIS MOTHER! They should all get sentences for murder!
This is absolutely diabolical to withhold a mother from seeing her daughter and hugging her in court. How could anyone do such a horrible thing to a child!?
Defense tried to intimidate this Psychiatrist and failed miserably.
I noticed when the defense drilled-down on a certain technical point, the deeper he pushed-it, _the worst it got for his defense. Seems he realized that, and just quit!
Great testimony. I hope someone would advocate me like this
RIP Beata! God is with you.
This case breaks my heart… There was no reason for all this to happen.. That hospital should be facing murder charges.. r.I.p ❤❤❤
She committed the act to eliminate herself has a factor to get her daughter out of that hospital. Just wow. This poor woman exhausted every option and that what she felt would help. Shame on these people the judge who sided with the hospital included. Shame on them.
Justice for Maya ❤
Such a tragic case. I just hope this family wins big so they can move forward in healing some and live their life to the fullest! It’s sickening what this hospital and many of the caregivers did. Justice for Maya and family!💜
if I were Maya- frankly the whole family- you can get Polish citizenship easily if you have a family member born in Poland--and thus EU citizenship. Easy. Impossible for most but not if you have family who wasn't just a citizen but was a BORN citizen in Poland
. I'd dump the US passport and get the Polish one and then seek treatment in Poland or a humane and wealthy country, Germany etc. They have enough money now. It would also ease her phobia of the health system which is more f-ed up in the US than any other country i have ever seen
Cathy Beaty was the cause of her suicide she needs to be held accountable for it she destroyed that family and she should hold her head in shame from here now on
EVIL...
You may be right, but in her testimony, I studied her like a psychologist might. And she did not _seem_ as villainous as Maya portrayed her. Though I did not doubt Maya's testimony.
Though watching Ms. Bedy, did cause me to pause.
Makes me realize how _deceitful_ --- by self-deluded behavior or deliberate manipulation --- human beings can be!
Only conclusions I can draw, is Ms. Bedy has some very serious mental issues she is blind to or in denial about the wrong she allegedly did, or she is a very good actress.
As for Ms. Smith, with her more obvious, the sanctimonious arrogant-certainty, as from one gripped with a "god-complex".
The hospital is at fault. No matter how they try to skirt around it. They knew excatally what they were doing. Absolutely disgusting 😢
The heat fall, spiteful defense attorneys did not do themselves any favors by acting the way they did. The hospital just needs to write the check. They definitely are not looking favorable.
They should have just settled.
No. It’s needed to be a public trial. This is setting a precedent for other family who have face similar circumstances that this same hospital and at other hospitals.
I should sue KP a for my pain too, utter BS
@@esk2gI'm sure they tried to settle. It likely included a mountain of NDA's that the family wouldn't sign. My opinion.
doubt Maya or family would have agreed. This needed to be PUBLIC. we all know this stuff goes on, but now there is legal precedent, and the jury made it very clear they thought the hospital was a piece of garbage
@@esk2g
JHACH said Maya did not have CRPS, but claimed 3 months on the hospital insurance by saying Maya was being treated for CRPS!
THEY ARE ALL EVIL LIARS
S. Smith assessed Beata’s qualities as a mother and failed in her assessment. She made a personalised decision based on Beata’s personality and character and that to me is the sign of a narcissist and a complete gross mismanagement of power !!
Heartbreaking 💔
This hospital is totally responsible
And especially the CPS.
Heavy Ketamine causes leg paralysis. (Maya got "Ketamine Comas" in Mexico....that her Mom took her for...)
@@LuvableAFher father was also there and let’s be honest there are side effects to any and all medications. So basically what you’re saying is no one should seek treatment because of side effects?
I am saying, if the Mother listened to the doctor who said "the pain is from the steroids, should be about a month" instead of running May to Mexico, none of this would have happened. Ketamine Coma sounds Crazy. And the Ketamine paralyzed a healthy 10 year old. The mother and Mexico doctors should have been responsible for Mayas injuries, not John Hopkins. I would have been sus about that family as well...Ketamine Coma? Jeesh @@tammyirwin703
@@LuvableAF Please stop playing doctor in the comment section. It doesn't suit you, and you're clearly ignorant to the actual facts of this civil trial.
This hospital's DEFENSE IS DISGUISTING!!!!!!
this dr is so saavy, not manipulated by defense
I think Maya’s mom felt that she and she alone was the reason Maya was not allowed to come home and she was so upset she believed if she removed herself from the equation everything would return to normal. I feel so terrible for the family. I hope other hospitals learn from this case but I don’t have confidence
When a lawyer thinks they know more than a doctor… then gets schooled.
Lawyers are doctors too…(Juris Doctor)
Compliments to this psychiatrist!!
What a sad story. Children need their parents especially their moms 2:08
I love this guy... he and his answers were profound.❤❤
This doctor is a Saint 🙏
Why? Because you think he correct?
@@jkm1611yes he is absolutely correct.
The defense attorney comes across as angry.
definitely
Knowingly GUILTY parties are often arrogant and anger
I am totally on Team Mya but this is one long trial
it needs to be for change to come, if they win hospitals have to take note
I have to say I don’t like the lawyer for the hospital at all. It’s obvious that the mother committed suicide was because of the hospital period, they need to be held accountable
God recognizes saints. In all suffering
i feel so sorry fore Kowalski family and all they have been thouh
Love from Denmark to maya and her family ❤
I sincerely pray that KBedy& Sally smith have been fired. They are not fit for their professions!
More than that: three need their licenses revoked so they have no dither ability to practice their evil craft.
They still working in/for this terrible hospital. 😮
after having drs damage me for the rest of my life, I can promise you...these people did no harm. And no, they will not lose their med@@buddysgirl3305
fired and given free housing in jail cells
The hospital should have been more careful. I understand watching out for children, but clearly, they are at fault. Some careful supervision and common sense would have prevented this. The judge made a fatal mistake as well. A message must be sent that they do not have free reign to do what they did to this family or any future families.
More careful?? HOW ABOUT NOT BE EVIL. THIS MORE COMMON THAN YOU KNOW. DRS PROTECT EACHOTHER
I understand that they need to address possible abuse, however this caused unnecessary pain to a child and her Mom.
I definitely see the that the red flags were waving loud and clear. And the hospital did as they should have.
@@joygraybill4444right if I knew I was right I would wait until their investigation was over so they can be shamed. I’d sue them bad.

Suicide and depression is complex and can have many factors. Gosh the defence is frustrating me so much.
I hope everyone involved in this feels shame and guilt for the rest of their lives.
For what?
@@susanwhalls6230 Driving this woman to suicide and ruining a family
She clearly has CRPS. Did you see the pics of her leg discoloration! How did she manage that as a conversion disorder? If she has CRPS then Munchausen is not the diagnosis. No pain meds for one of the most painful conditions on the planet? That's horrific. They took her off all the pain meds.
@@libertyna933 This is a case of several people that were so self righteous and egotistical that they just refused to admit they were wrong and drove a woman to suicide. It’s disgusting what they did. And like you said, there were physical signs that proved their complete wrongness and they just ignored those and pushed forward with their agenda. They were going to be right come hell or high water, and hell came. These people make me sick to my stomach and as far as I’m concerned they are torturers and murderers.
So do I .
They TORTURED this family ....because they didn't like Beada being
"pushy".
That is some EVIL revenge for feeling someone like someone is trying to push you !
What kind of EGO does one have to have to go to such monstrous lengths to put someone on their place !
They TORTURED this dear family .
What a sad story.i BB hope the family finds closure even tho they do not have mother any more.I wish the family only the best.😊
The juror questions are so telling because they sound like they’re more sympathetic to the Kowalkski side.
This is a good strong witness
Beata was a mother protecting her daughter the only way she believed she could and it is a tragedy.
What about her son?
yup@@susanwhalls6230
This doctor was knowledgeable, human and compassionate in his testimony. When compared to the testimony of the hospital's doctors it's night and day.
I really like this Psychiatrist.
The defence attorney is hard to listen to- seems to have unnecessary attitude
I'm so annoyed that the defense cannot pronounce Cathi Bedi's name correctly.
And she works for the hospital they’re representing. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Sorry but if Beata would have followed the advice if her attorney she would have had her daughter back home. Instead she inflicted life long heartbreak for her daughter and son
For this supposed hearing to determine whether Maya could go home or not didn't they have to sign a paper also stating that her mom had Munchausen by proxy (I am so sorry I know I butchered that). All of those people that supposedly "treated" Maya (besides the very select few who were good to her like her physical therapy lady) should be in prison or in the least lose their license to practice.
This is just criminal what these people did to this family , its not the first and it wont be the last , i bet mayas mother guided this court case from day one
It's unthinkable that such a renowned and awarded hospital as the likes of the Jhon hopskins hospital committed such crime is really disgusting to know this makes you wonder what else it's being done
The crimes committed during the Scamdemic (just a few years forward from 2016) in hospitals, --- the sad Maya-case shows with some, the grounds was already being laid for rise of _abusive authoritative arrogance_ ---- should have opened all our eyes.
There have been many Mayas since the tyranny-unleashed Red China COVID fraud. --- And too many of their stories, also ended in death, if not disablement, --- And many wounded families. --- Hospitals not left guiltless.
he did well answering the defence lawyers questions.......the last thing they want to here when they ask them a question they want you to agree with is the word FALSE....lol
That question about the amount he was making on this case kind of backfired. That will teach this greedy troll to not ask that question again.
Do you have any answers on why Mrs. Beata and her daughter were let go from the first PT hospital? I have questions.
Great witness.
What do you guys think: Is the hospital liable?
Yes absolutely
I do not think so. (I can see the jury feeling pity for Maya tho) Just as a bystander watching this trial, it seemed there was some faking or Munch By Prox going on. Her pain started **after she was given steroids for chronic asthma, and after looking up CRPS, it makes no sense how it "suddenly" started. Plus heavy Ketamine use causes leg paralysis apparently.
@@LuvableAF I would have a hard time being on that jury. You feel sorry for the family, but not everything that happened was the hospital's fault. I only watched the opening statements, so I am sure what has happened.
@mommyissuesasmr8040 your understanding of CRPS is incorrect. It is often triggered by a small injury, illness, or treatment for illnesses. Those are the most common ways it begins. So your basis on which you base your assumption of MBP is simply wrong.
If you ever do watch, start with Maya testimony. Her memory was flawless perfection for 8 years ago, and she was only 9 at the time. She even claimed one Doctor wore a lab coat when visiting her, and that Contract Doctor said she had never wore one "ever". But she is frail and blonde, so likely will get the money. @@azrobbins01
Causing who the pain Mrs. Beata or her daughter? And if is her daughter how does he know how much pain. ?..
" Do not harm" how this works in this case? Whole family has been destroyed.
There are two professions I despise wholeheartedly, one is politicians and the other is lawyers. I think what Maya had to go through is horrible and if proven, no amount of many will ever compensate her loss, however, these lawyers make my skin crawl!
YOU FORGOT THE OBVIOUS!!! EVIL MEDICAL PERSONNEL!
Absolutely agree
This is by far the craziest cases I’ve heard thus far in my life.
The doctor from Mexico should have never told Mayas mother that she will die a slow and painful death if she doesn’t receive the treatment he prescribed. That was very wrong of him and I believe that contributed to her suicide. You should never make definite statements like that.
This Doctor is risking his credential it’s a lot easier to testify against the hospital, since this doctor was treating the mother, I truly think he’s as much responsible as the hospital.
Well this guy is the Doctor I think he should’ve alert someone if Mrs. Beata could do something like this. Am I missing something?
Cathi Bedy and JHAGH owes this family. Cathi Bedy will always be known for the horrible person she is. In my opinion she is just as guilty as the doctors/nurses in the death of Beata Kowalski.
Agree 💯💯💯
So you just went on social media and accused her of murder? So what does that make you?
Those who havnt studied MBP dont realize. Its rare. It goes on and on til they are stopped. This hospital put a stop to it and SHE TOOK HER LIFE. CONSCIOUS CHOICE
The daughter was diagnosed with the illness the mother insisted her daughter be treated for. She has recieved treatment for that illness without issues, even by the same hospital, all after the mother committed suicide. So who was right, and who was wrong? Who is really guilty of hurting the child? IMO it was the hospital, not even counting all the pain and suffering they put the family through.
I don’t know how lawyer can say the moms suicide isn’t a result of the hospital holding her daughter hostage
Good questions from the jury
I was talking about the coertion that was placed on women who were pregnant to get married and I said what would happen if someone died as a result of the pressure?.
They would just say that they would obviously not have made a good Mother.
It's very easy if you are being judged by a hospital and their staff for them to take the moral high ground.
Baeta had a young son at home, that makes her a bad Mother, imo.
@@LuvableAFLike the witness above stated…….it was an impulsive act kinda like a dam breaking. Beata had suffered so much despair, pain, worry, just frantic to keep Maya correctly cared for that when the judge refused even just a hug. The dam broke! There was no prior evidence to show the mother had any mental illness before Maya got sick…….but this ordeal definitely affected her mental health and her dam broke.
@@LuvableAFreally? Think they wouldn’t have come after Kyle next eventually?
No, because it does not seem like he was faking an illness for Mommies attention.@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468
The fact she hung herself within 87 days of not seeing her daughter, (3 months) is a Major sign of Mental illness. Who does that?? What if Maya hit by a car and died? Would she have done that to herself?? Probably not. She knew the game was over. But Maya will likely win with that pitiful look.@@reneesantiago6496
Un aliving yourself is actually a symptom of MH-BP. I never understood why she did the suicide to begin with. Made no sense when the possiblity of her return to seeing Maya was bound to happen....
Baeta also had a young Son at home. Her reaction to a temporary restraining order was not in alignment with "a mother who is just missing her kid". Baeta forgot about her son at home.@@sandymcpartlon9972
I don't understand why she committed suicide? Her daughter NEEDED HER! WHY ??????
It was the loss of control. Her entire life and identity was being the mother and caretaker of a sickly child. Even though she had a husband and another child, it was the loss of control. The fear that when Maya comes home, she might be able to walk and be stronger without the ketamine comas. Maya and the ketamine induced comas were her entire existence has a human being and without being able to go back to a time of constant ketamine infusions and comas she realized that when Maya comes home, she'll be stronger and healthier and continue to make steps and improve without her. The hospital said, ok Maya does have this diagnosis so we'll do this treatment plan that has been proven to be very effective in children Maya’s age with this condition but Beata refused. For Beata the Maya she knew and was accustomed to wouldn't be the same Maya that came home. The Maya coming home was going to be able to walk. For Beata the hospital took her child from her and was going to give her a different one that could walk and be like everyone else, so she took her life as a final FU 🖕 to everyone, particularly the hospital.
Loss of control .Very nicely put, I agree in every way, and only know enough to know what you said seems accurate. It makes no sense that she would kill herself, unless she would lose in the end of all this somehow. And if she was so innocent, she would know she would see Maya soon. @@OmEvul1415
There is no evidence to support MH. None.
The day Mrs. Beata took her life, her husband and son went to a party? Doesn’t make sense.. sorry but the entire family are giving me mixed signal.
I hope after they sue hospital..they go after the social worker.
A social worker has no authority to usurp the rights of parents.
Anybody in Florida that becomes in danger to themselves due to pressure or what Mrs. Beata was going through is a factor to be Becker act? Just asking.

She probably wasnt thinking correctly.. i wonder if divorce and moving out of the home would have had the same effect. She wanted her daughter out of that hospital. It worked, honestly.. was suicide the only way?
