Weird on all other channels . The links have been disabled. Guess it takes power and pull to be allowed. Well money
Every doctor and hospital I have been to have refused to let me record what they say. I wanted to record them so when I went home I could remember what they had instructed because I knew I wouldn't remember everything. It really makes me angry AND very suspicious. Why??? If someone is telling the truth, why be afraid to be recorded???
I, however don't understand why she is being grilled about hugging that child on a non sexual way when she's upset or crying. To me, that is a normal reaction. It shouldn't be made into a big deal if it is not a sexual thing or an inappropriate way of touching her.
Maya was 10 and hated Beady so they call that unwanted touch. As a teacher I would never put a ten year old on my lap EVER.
@@libertyna933 Not to mention, her own mother was not allowed to touch her by this freak. Maya's instincts were right on, and what we teach kids about abusers: if you get that uhoh feeling, run! Maya knew this lady was dangerous.
This was a woman on a power trip who didnt like the childs mother. How sick.
Honestly, I feel like this social worker is the one that had munchausers by proxy.
Her actions were definitely personal. She didn't like Mayas mom because she had an aggressive personality. This woman used her power to punish Beata(sic)
Horrific, ghastly woman. Absolutely inexplicable behavior. Her testimony took care of any doubt I had. Her behavior was criminal child abuse. Full stop. Social workers are clinical sociopaths.
She admitted to having been overworked, was using her power to punish the girl's mother for aggressively demanding care and medical attention for her daughter but worst of all she showed no empathy for allowing a young girl in pain the comfort and reassurance of her loved ones as well as no remorse for the tragic outcomes as a result of the atrocious mistreatment and medical negligence of which she played a critical role! She shows the sort of compassion fatigue that's common in the caring profession when staff burn out and begin to resent in those they're in paid employment to care for.
@pippilongstocking5000 without this woman being involved dcf wouldn't have even been involved at all. That's how. You got gaslit.
I wouldn’t trust this woman with a pet rock 🤬
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂
That beat out my goldfish
If there was a way to abuse a rock, she would figure it out.
@@phillipwhite8463 with a hammer perhaps?
As a retired nurse I was always told that pain is what the patient says it is. For her to say that Maya did not appear in pain is outrageous!!!! This is obviously her subjective response!!
Right, I think this “worker”fancies herself as being above the skill level of nurses or doctors, lawyers , parents, priests or anyone else and enjoyed power over helpless clients
Yes, I was taught the same thing. Now that I'm a patient in severe pain that nothing can control it, I use every tool (imagery, music, art, and most of all prayer) that I can just to survive. If you saw me drawing, you could wrongly conclude that I'm not in pain, but it never stops the burning, ripping and aching. We get by sometimes minute by minute. I done being judged by ignorant health care workers and professionals and am finally standing up for all who suffer horribly with no relief in sight.
Thank you. I have fibro. You’d never know how bad I hurt at times by looking or by one picture of me at any given time. But thank God my pain md ( Dr Hanna- yes the one in same) is a good pain md
She keeps bringing her mother as the blame
From what ive learned throughout this trial she belongs in Prison.
Scary how they can take kids away from parents with no actual evidence yet the kids that get battered and abused with obvious signs get ignored. This woman is evil 😮
This is exactly what I said the other day!!! They ignore kids who are CLEARLY being abused by their parents until they are tortured to death, but with ACTUAL LOVING PARENTS, they separate families. Either way, these unworthy caseworkers are always protected from being held accountable for not doing their jobs. I think of Gabriel Fernandez every time I see things like these.
@@Khumzwi
Yes, its agenda 2021 & 2030.
The luciferian government sees our children as COMMODITY.
To sacrifice, rape, torture, cannabalize, and to use as a lab rat 🐀. Remember, these are the same CREATURES that ran the HOLOCAUST and that was just the TRIAL RUN.
The 2nd HOLOCAUST started March 11,2020.
Our men per the constitution need to form militias and take this piece of shite out!!! 💩😡
I completely agree'
She resembles the attorney for Jodi Arias 😂
Imo the hospitals like JH call on social workers like her to go for the familes with money, who can pay the medical bills. Make them their annual quota. She even testified to going over medical history, I'd say she's also looking at the amount of money these familes have already spent. Something that needs to be looked into when they're all collaborating and taking children with next to no proof. Miss Sally here has many other family complaints about her, who have settled out of court.
She is the abuser !!!!!
The worst of the lot.
The smirking is unbearable
The condescending body language and speech (the looking down her nose over her glasses especially) is raising my blood pressure!
An absolute sadistic abuser. With a huge narcissistic ego.
💯💯💯💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
How ironic - she is wearing a cross, but Maya was not allowed to have access to her faith during her hospital stay.
The cross is her lucky charm LOL.
This lady looks evil while she’s smile. Sicko
Exactly she has a cheek to wear a cross considering her actions.
@@ltee2261such Hipocricy
I believe some of the things people are saying. Here and there. But not this. Who said this anyway?
This woman needs to be held accountable!
Testing people for Narcissistic Personality Disorder should be apart of the hiring process along with background checks of these clowns.
yes i totally agree
This woman should be locked up
I concur.
For life.
Yes forever
And any meds she's on taken away! 😬 I don't really mean that, but the thought is nice.
You are crazy.
This "she did not show pain symptoms other children showed" just has my blood boiling.
No, because the other kids did not have CRPS!
Nor were they possibly trying to mask as hard as they possibly could hoping it would be what she had to do to be able to see her family again! She's revolting
Same!
We all deal with pain differently.
@@hollybartlett9713exactly...my son broke his arm in summer camp..they told him to be quiet and not complain..he did until I picked him up!! They didn't even call me!! I realized right away his arm was broken..he run to me and was crying for the pain!!!
These so called professional can be very nasty sometimes!
This woman infuriates me. She has an attitude that she can do whatever she pleases. She’s an abuser who took control when it wasn’t hers to take. I hope she loses her license in the end.
Welcome to health care, it’s a competition on who’s in control in the most meanest cruel individuals.. social workers, case managers, MANAGERS, ADMINISTRATORS. It’s baffling how in a place where caring for those in need that these individuals run & ruin lives. If anyone attempts to speak up, their lives are ruined as well. I try to keep my loved ones away from these horrible places called hospitals ( healthcare) .
@@mistiblu246 exactly. if you think that's bad, you should see how they treat medical/dental & nursing students. BAD, EVIL people. god is big.
Oh hell NO. She and all her superiors need to be put in prison. And..the other families that suffered the same treatment need to get compensated too.
*As someone with chronic pain, I can tell you that IT HELPS TO DISTRACT YOURSELF when you hurt ALL the time.* When I am laughing and talking it does not mean that I do not have pain, it means that my mind is distracted. *This woman is just horrible and has NO EMPATHY.* Everything is always someone else's fault with this woman.
exactly, I do art or play music and sing with it
you're right. when i was in the ER with a broken bone and awaiting help, my friend made a joke and I laughed. i screamed an hour later when i was moved, but the joke made me laugh. didn't mean my bone wasn't broken. just that i was distracted from the pain for a moment.
Distraction is a valid technique in helping someone tolerate pain, not evidence of no pain. (pediatric nurse for 20 yrs.)
@@kimward5746 exactly!!!
I have chronic pain and fibromyalgia. Most doctors or hospitals just think you are out for drugs. It is horrible what you have to go through just to get up in the morning. My heart goes out to the family! ❤
As someone who has 24/7 severe pain all over inside and out. You cannot tell if someone is in pain just by looking at them or judging if they are in pain based off small activities. She’s pissing me off so bad!
I have dealt with severe pain for 15 years now. I have learned to deal with it. I can even smile and act normal to people on the outside. But then I’ll run home and take a bath and crawl into bed for 8 hours. Plus, she’s a child. She’s trying to please these adults who are brainwashing her that her mom is crazy and she’s not in pain
I’m so sorry you suffer daily like me….this woman is certainly infuriating
Exactly. My pain tolerance for a "low pain" day would make most people think they were dying.
This! We learn to mask. What is unbearable for most, becomes background noise to us. It is always there so we learn to function WITH IT.
@beckyklepper315 I told a coworker once if I ever say the pain is 10/10 call the ambulance because I may be dying
Her license should be removed and every case she worked on should be invested
She slips up multiple times, almost calling co-workers, subordinates. She said Maya "decided" when referring to when Maya was in pain or not...
She is a horrendous person.
I caught that too
She went to say it to when referring to the person she had a disagreement with.
I saw that. Clearly, she is not wanting to accept the truth of the matter. Still, after all this, she holds resentment towards the child. Amazing.
How did she refer to them as a subordinate? I'm to tired to rewind and watch again but I'm curious lol
🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳🪳
What is glaringly obvious is Maya's mom was a NURSE. And when she went head to head with this woman, this woman puffed up and refused to see that Maya's mom was not someone off the street with no understanding of medical industry. And instead of being treated with respect Maya's mom was accused of criminal conduct and stripped of her child. I don't know how this woman sleeps at night! Not an ounce of compassion. Not a scintilla of accountability. WOW - my respect for John Hopkins just went out the window!
And not to mention the nurses then didn't understand what CRPS was and even after the mother (nurse) explained they had no clue on it and how to handle the girl. All they did is gamble with that poor girls treatment. What a shame. I'm so enraged with this whole system I can only imagine what these parents and kids go through
I loved how you. Used the word scintilla, that’s what the judge said about information he wanted about JHACH lawyers from hiding of evidence from the prosecution‼️‼️This Jury deserves and award for getting it right and awarding the Kowalski’s $261 million‼️‼️now the whole world knows that JHACH has a culture that is not pro children. The current CEO was just caught on tape saying they didn’t do anything wrong and was waiting for the jury’s verdict!!
As a chronic pain sufferer, i cannot begin to tell you the damage they did to this poor child. Her trust in health professionals is destroyed and the psychological repurcussions of having to deal with her mothers death and the dreadful accusations they made about her in front of Maya. Absolutely disgusting they have not been fired. If they had any decency, they would have resigned.
My whole childhood I was told I was "lazy" and just had "growing pains" turns out I have marfan syndrome. My Dad was adopted but when his aorta dissected in 2000 when I was 18yo we found out. So many things from My childhood make sense. 2/3 of My kids have marfans, I've had department of Children's services called on Me because my kids are "thin and pasty looking" 🙄 I was actually in hospital with My 11yo Daughter for 3 months in 2017, didn't leave her side while she was strapped to a bed in traction for the entire time. This case really is hitting me hard!
My son got pancreatitis for the first time when he was 13. It took 6 months to get a diagnosis because kids don’t get pancreatitis for no reason all of the sudden at 13. He was told it was in his head, he was anxious. This woman just talking makes me sick. If I had come to that hospital this would have happened to us. My son is 35 and now has chronic pancreatitis. Still don’t know why. Obviously I have not put all the details in these comments because I am livid. My son’s pain was different too. I could slap this woman upside her stupid head. I am so thankful that my son’s pediatrician listened to me and we worked together to find out what was wrong. It involved going to many doctors, I can’t with this woman.
@@pascalswager9100I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have no idea what that is like, but as a mother who went through trying to find a diagnosis for my son, this is extremely upsetting to me. Even as a adult now who deals with chronic pain he is treated horribly if he happens to be admitted when there’s a doctor who is not familiar with him.
Fired-they should be in prison
@@rpatten4693 here here!! Totally agree.
After watching this deposition it’s glaringly obvious this whole situation started over a disputed over dosing and ego. I hope the family wins every cent they are asking for
Why? Why do they need so much? And who decides to leave this world if they care so much for their daughter? Is that rational behaviour?
@@ir9567she did this to save her daughter because everything was being tossed at basically just her….and just like she thought they released her shortly after she took her life….sad in many ways but kind of proved what she was thinking and felt
@cuttyunderleaf I believe that she felt so much pressure and all the flase accusations had to be overwhelming. I can't imagine knowing there's a way to make your child feel better but instead being accused of child abuse. We can't know how she felt. How can you say such a thing. Have you been under that amount of pressure? Thing is they released her daughter 1 week after and billed the insurance company for a disease the hospital said she was making up. So in a way the mom was right. Horrible situation. I will stay away from this hospital or any of its sister hospitals.
@@ir9567 did you watch the documentary? Maybe you missed the part where the father was told that Maya would only be able to come home if she had no contact with her mother otherwise it would never happen. This mother’s desperation lead her to take her life so that her daughter’s life could continue in her home! Do you know how desperate you need to be? No, clearly you do not but try to have a little compassion instead of worrying about why they need so much.
@@ir9567May you never understand that level of despair and desperation, but in the meantime, perhaps refrain from judging those who do/did
Evil to the core. She is fueled by jealousy and control. Lacks empathy. She hated Mya’s mom’s personality so she made it her mission to control her by controlling Mya.
Wouldn’t surprise me if there was discrimination or racism against the mom.
I totally agree. I don’t know how people walk among us like this, they are so very very dangerous.
Probably not
A lot of people did not like the Mum due to her intelligence and honesty. She refused to dumb herself herself down for others. She was an affront to the herd mentality, corporate social and health care institutions of the US.
Imagine her having your babies under her care. She is pure damn evil she makes me cringe.
Please fire her. Don’t let her work anywhere dealing with people ever again, not even at Mc Donalds!! Please!
She is a creep, and not to be trusted, wearing a cross like her shield, but He is not covering her, He does not like what she did at all, she was very cruel to that little girl, and the mom.
💯
💯

Yes
God has a special place in hell for her. Evil to the core.
This testimony is frankly scary.The woman is clearly a liar who refuses at every opportunity to take ANY responsibility for her actions.She is avoidant..Cannot imagine the stress Beata was under dealing with her.
Oh I know ! I’d already have my foot up this woman’s ass . You’d better believe it . She isn’t any smarter than some hobo off the freakin street ! How she was a “psych” student just boggles my mind !!!!!!!!!😮
Agree.. evil deep rooted.
I had a son who spent the better part of four years in a hospital. I have also taken in foster children. I KNOW as well as this woman does that she absolutely had control. The court’s deferment to the hospital put her IN CONTROL. Fortunately the hospital social workers I’ve worked with have been great. And the ones I’ve worked with through my work as a foster parent have been… a coin toss. But none have been inhumane like this woman. She is in the wrong profession. She sounds like she’s at the Nuremberg trials claiming she was “just carrying out orders.”
Even though I know the Kowalski’s won their case and all, I can’t help but cry for them all over again. And I’m only 18 minutes in.
*She didn't like her own crappy behavior to be reported to risk management. Johns Hopkins didn't take the child away, IT WAS THIS SOCIAL WORKER FALSELY REPORTING "suspected child abiuse" that got this child taken away.* This woman minimizes her own responsibility from the very beginning. People like her are SO VERY DANGEROUS. No training, but she'll tell you right off that it's your imagination and you aren't really hurting.
My feelings!! Except I want to know why it wasn’t a committee of doctors making decisions after reaching out to all the doctors Maya had already seen !! They tried NOTHING
The doctors kept mya away because they misrepresented to the court what was happening. They disregarded anything proof that didn't fit their narrative and never appropriately confirmed their suspicions. It makes me sick.
In no way am I defending the social worker, but as a licensed mental health professional, I will add that we are what’s called mandated reporters in every state, & that means if it is even possible, not proven as that’s not the job of any reporter to make a finding, then we are required to report that concern to CPS. It is CPS who is responsible for looking into the situation & making a finding as to whether abuse or neglect has occurred. Anyone who’s a mandated reporter has almost always been instructed by their employer, and by the ethics of their respective profession, that if there’s any possibility that abuse could be going on, that we need to err on the side of caution & report it, given that children are helpless to protect themselves if abuse is occurring.
Your a Devil and you will pay one way are the other!
@@liseklerekoper2441 That's all very well but the doctors and psychologists treating her before these evil people got their hands on her were also mandated reporters and they made no reports because there was no abuse. These social workers along with Sally Smith ganged up on this poor family ignored reports from physicians and specialists that didn't support their narrative. The damage is irreversible and tragic.
I have CRPS. Im in my 40's. I got crps in 2018. This disease is hell. It truly breaks my heart to see a baby go through this. This women is a witch!
Hugs 🌹
As an RN I find her GROSS and in this case REPREHENSIBLE! She is vile. She was arrested for child abuse with charges being dropped. There's a REASON for her being arrested!
I feel exactly as you do & I try to imagine myself being on duty for a case/situation like this.
Have you gone down that rabbit hole? I really really want to believe that I would be strong and vocal and instrumental in having some level of a different outcome than this.
I am gobsmacked that it went on for so stinking long. I just can’t believe… well, I’ve been a nurse for 42 years and I don’t know 10 or 15 years ago I became a truth-sayer AT ALL COSTS with all of my patients and their families. And I know I would’ve been so vocal with these people I would’ve been encouraging them to “get the hell out of there”. I would’ve been offering myself to help them in whatever way to even kidnap Mya to get her out of there you know? I just don’t tolerate this kind of bullshit treatment to other humans anymore when I’m on the medical treatment side of it. I’ve told ER patients “If you don’t want to be admitted, don’t be admitted… Let me answer your questions let me help you understand all sides of this. Nothings going to happen to you if you go home”, that kind of thing. I only wish I had had that kind of chutzpah when I was a younger nurse too.
She should be prosecuted and her license taken!!!

@@dawnatkinson7704 I think if any of them are fired over this, it would imply guilt. Just a thought.
I’ve had chronic pain since I was 35. I’m 63 now. When you live with it “constantly”, at some point tears can stop, or they can come without other outward symptoms. Most care workers, even at pain management centers, don’t understand it. You’re frequently labeled a “pill seeker”.
Dayton,I am 73,and have been living with constant pain since I was 40. I'm on 100Mcg/hr Fentanyl every 48 hours and 3600 mg.of Neurontin and it no longer works. I have learned to put the pain out of my mind and people always ask "How can I be in such pain and not show it?" Who the hell wants to be around a person who constantly complains about pain. I agree 100% that at some point the tears just stop. You have my sympathy and I know what you feel daily.
You nailed it!
Waiting for the compassion to catch up to our suffering.
For the love of humanity, just prescribe enough to give a quality of life that's acceptable to the PATIENT.
The prohibition is killing us lawful patients who are being tortured... So you feel better in your mind.
Suffering forever, so you feel better about your stupid policies.
At least someone got relief.

I live with chronic pain as well but I don't talk about it so it's not obvious to other people. How could someone who does not experience such pain know how it feels.
Just last week one nurse behaved in a similar manner, scolding my daughter and myself for expressing the care my daughter needed for pain management after the birth of my daughter's first baby.
@@cathflorence761what do you mean the pain management “we” needed after the birth of your daughters first baby?
She's making me sick with her snod, smug answers. Knowing what this family has been through she should be showing empathy and compassion. I hate knowing other children and parents have to see her walk into a room.
This woman has an answer for everything and it's never her fault about anything and will not admit to anything!
Yes, she knows everything & has an answer for everything until the responsibility falls on her, then she was told/ordered to do it. Complete lack of accountability and ownership for her actions. Narcissistic with and ego and this is her trying to appear professional. It still shines through in her mannerisms and responses.
@@markbaz4200They were all schooled by Hospital Attorneys before any depositions. 😐

Sack her
This Social Worker and the Mom did not get along. I seriously believe this woman over stepped because she didn’t believe Maya was hurting.
My Spouse was a social worker for 35 years. She encountered these type of of Social Workers all the time. They are power hungry. They love to hide inside the bureaucatic system. They know the system to the T and their agenda is complete control over clients and patients. They say they care and convince themselves they care but their actions are not out of love or compassion. It's about control and It's disgusting. Not only did her and others actions make Mayas condition worse but they destroyed this once happy and loving family. It is sad because I am sure most of John Hopkins Medical staff have saved many lives. However, if my child was sick I would not go near this hospital. I would run with my child for the hills.
💯. I support you. This is one of those facilities that is wrotten to the core already. They cause this poor mother her life, and now there is a huge unfilled gap in that family. Do they ever think abouts their repercussions to the parties involved? Do they give parents a chance to redeem themselves? Do they know how more this negatively impacts the society esp in cases that are not legit? It beats me
This lady didn't care AT ALL about this child. Probably no child.
Do children who are being abused typically cry to go home? This lady was probably most definitely ruined SO MANY peoples lives…
Actually, they do. They are often closer to their abuser than the other parent. I am in no waking saying Maya was abused by her mom or that this social worker's actions were correct. Just pointing out that wanting to go home, by itself, isn't a sign their isn't abuse. In this case, from the look of it, she couldn't even keep the story straight in her records, much less here. She seems to be using the "I was just fallowing orders" defense. Well that doesn't fly in the military and it certainly doesn't fly in court.
You can take that the bank, guaranteed. She is 10000% guilty and has been terrorizing families and children for years. The AUDACITY of this woman. JFC
This woman was on a power trip and didn’t like being questioned by a difficult and direct mother who might actually know what’s best for her own child. She is evil and she knows what she did and she doesn’t care.
To answer your question, yes they do. Despite being abused or neglected most children still want to remain with the abusive parent as depending on age their brains don’t have to ability to process risk over comfort and familiarity.
Beatta was a healthcare professional who appeared to have MBS because she was demanding the hospital to do a non approved procedure in the US. She knew it wasn’t being done in the US - that’s why they went to Mexico to begin with. They should have just called Dr Kiplinger and asked for another booster. You can’t just run into a hospital and start yelling give her ketamine- give her propyphol- induce coma! But the hospital should have investigated more thoroughly before mis-diagnosing her. They screwed up.
Omg this infuriates me. I’ve had a lot to do with medical professionals who like to label parents with this condition. In most situations it turned out that the children had serious medical conditions that the incompetent Drs could not diagnose. She makes me bloody sick.
This social worker needs to be in jail!!!! Fired. And lose her license. Just horrible.
This lady creeps me out! 🤨Her periodically smirking is disturbing!! I sense evil!
Evil usually is disguised as good.
Watching this is infuriating. A woman on a power trip abusing a power she never should have had within a system where there is no consequence and protection for doing so, accusing a mother of being an abuser for having the b*lls to stand up to her, accusing a sick little girl of faking an illness and a being liar for reporting being scared of being mistreated for saying or doing the wrong thing, ALL WHILE BEING AN ACTUAL ABUSER THAT WAS ARRESTED FOR ABUSING A MENTALLY ILL CHILD FOR NOT SAYING THE RIGHT THING AND ACCUSING HIM OF BEING A LIAR WHEN HE WAS SAYING HE COULDNT BREATHE WITH HER KNEELING ON HIS CHEST. I. LITERALLY. CANT.
She wasn't arrested for abuse at all you're making that part up. She's just giving a deposition which is part of the lawsuit against the hospital. No arrests are involved here
@@wioiCorrect. She was NOT arrested. She was written up. Google is your friend M’am.
@@ellewoods8055you’re both wrong. Google is your friend. She was arrested at her previous job.
Clearly, she was unskilled in properly handling the complex situation!!
We’re looking at a narcissist/sociopath. It’s quite evident that she enjoys other peoples pain especially parents in this situation.
Sadist (also?)
She’s obsessed with her.
Exactly
Sickening how narcissistic person she is
Trying to pretend she’s only a worker from the hospital doing what she’s been told ! Pretending she doesn’t know blaming other staff it’s just beyond evil
Agreed, also a child predator/abuser
Lot of people never going to take their kids there, they’ll take them somewhere else, and they’ll tell everyone they know with kids. That’s what that hospital gets for continuing to employ someone like that.
This lady was clearly grooming Maya in my opinion . She needs criminal charges filed . She definitely was practicing out of the scope of her state license . She was very willing to pass the buck to Risk Management. So she never once questioned any of these orders from Risk, or the Judge as being inappropriate. Lock her up and keep her away from children forever .
I think so too. It’s so disgusting and evil.
I don’t think it was sexual but I think she wanted Maya to bond with her emotionally. I think she wanted to replace Maya’s mom
In no way am I defending this social worker, but I can say after having spent my career working in a hospital setting, that risk management is involved in anything that could possibly go sideways, particularly very complex cases like this. If risk management instructs you to do something, that’s what you have to do and you can’t just override that or you could likely lose your job. Given the society that we live in being so litigious, hospitals place protecting any liability on their part, above all, & that’s part of why tragic outcomes like this happen.
@liseklerekoper2441 As someone who also works in this setting, when you have situations like this in which you have complex legal matters, you also better be sure to CYA and document every single thing. I would NEVER take pictures of a child or patient - ever. And the fact that pictures were taken months after she had been in THEIR CARE makes zero sense whatsoever. DCF can take their own pictures. I'll be damned if my name is anywhere associated. I'll collect unemployment first.
@@kimberlypullen7468 - 100% agree w/ you. When I worked in Acute care settings, accurate & timely documentation was constantly emphasized for exactly the reasons we’re seeing in this case. No way I’d take pics either … CPS is the investigating body, let them do it.
this woman is not qualified to provide care to a child nor anyone for that matter. she's still employed that the hospital. why????
i did some research and the hospital let her go. i just can't pinpoint a date.
Her snide, smug attitude makes me sick to my stomach
Her mother knew her pain and knew the only treatment that helped her child. Mom knew what helped alleviate her child’s pain. Hope this family gets the financial compensation that they deserve! I’m sure they’d give it all up to have their mama back!!!
She's a cold hearted being
She's a monster. It's all so very disturbing.
Agree 😢🇩🇪
PLEASE TELL ME. . . This lady, who GLADLY makes decisions at the hospital regarding the welfare of children who later will squirm, backpedal & lie about her actions, NO LONGER WORKS WITH CHILDREN. Zero accountability, SMH!
They're all still employed.
@@VickyF_ I just watched a video on CourtTv where the took a newborn baby from another parent, the American Idol singer. Apparently it was the same lady!!!
What?! Will check that out, thanks. @@markbaz4200
That beast ain't no lady
@VickyF_yep and the parents killed the baby along with another child. The birth mom helped to look for the children. They still haven't found there bodies. The adoptive parents that she helped give the baby to only got 15 years in prison.
Why do healthcare workers always like to use “overworked” and “understaffed” as an excuse when they get called out for their ab-sive behaviour? That is no reason to go ab-sing patients and their family members.
F&B and Retail workers work twice their hours with only a fraction of their pay and so often understaffed too but you don’t see them ab-sing customers or their family members like this.
Retail workers? You're joking...
I am a CRPS sufferer and this is the worst person to be around us. Yes she wanted to be in charge with this child.
Would you want a treatment like the one mayas mom wanted? An induced coma with a pump and a 50% chance of death? I’m honestly curious. The doctors said it was dangerous for a reason
Yes I have done the craziest things already, I was the first person in Ottawa Canada to try the spinal stimulator, just to see if it worked they stuck a wire in my spinal cord to see if it worked so I walked around with just a wire threw my skin and spine for 10 days since it worked for me it took off, so this kinda pain you would do anything to get a few minutes of pain free. People don’t understand this pain, it’s like someone was pounding a nail up my heel bone that I broke in 1998. Now years late first I should have amputated my left leg from knee down. When a flare up I would use a saw and saw off my foot. It’s pain now into my lower back.
@@kimhickman9210 I’m sorry you’re in so much pain, I wouldn’t wish pain on anyone. I’m still torn on this case though, I feel so badly for Kyle that I know for sure
@@clairewillow6475so people who have Kids with cancer and put them on Chemotherapie are what? Idiot? Or try everything to save child?! Shame on you parents because your childrens are sick and you give tham medic. You have to give them Tee, that is for Kids pffffff
This woman clearly enjoys the power and importance of herself in this Savoir role. Maybe she has the disorder. She has zero empathy and oversteps her position on so many levels. I've not seen any proof they had to say Munchausen or factitious. Just cos they were lazy and racist. I would like to see all her accused cases cos she seems to have many. Yet Munchausen is actually rare. They abused their power, violated Maya's life beyond belief. For a hospital with soooo many cases of child abuse they didn't seem to have any idea on how to deal with it. She acts like she's above everything and everyone. She is a disgrace
This woman is despicable. The first thing they should have questioned her on was if it's typical to continue following cases after patients switch units. In my experience, they stay with their unit, esp critical care social workers. Almlst every patient initially on critical care is moved to a med surg floor before discharge. They would not only have their current critical care patients but every patient in the hospital that had ever been on critical care. That's unreasonable and unusual. If she didn't follow every patient to the floor, why Maya?
I am also living with chronic pain. It’s infuriating to listen to her saying that she knows Maya wasn’t in pain all the time. Was it written on her forehead? Oh gee she just moved her hand. See she’s fine. What a crock of sh*t. This girl was at her most vulnerable. Taken away from everyone she loved and picked apart by people she should’ve trusted. She lost her mother. She will NEVER trust any medical professional again. Heartbreaking 💔
No doubt. Chronic pain doesn't necessarily mean you'll be paralyzed, screaming all day, or bleeding out non stop... I'm so over the lack of compassion and care for pain patients.
You can move, just deal with it, you look fine to me... 😰😓😣
This woman should have every case she's worked on re-evaluated.
One of her citations for MbP was that "the parents were attentive to the child". Wtaf.
I picked up on this too..its shocking
"Parent advocates for child's healthcare - abuse!" Meanwhile, in the state this hag works in, GUARANTEED actual child abuse went on but she was more worried about going after this family and their sick child.
Yesssss!!!!! This!!! I hope she receives the same level of compassion once she is no longer needed of her deplorable services!
I guess all of us parents have Munchausen’s by proxy.
@@embeth446 yeah no kidding!!! Because knowing what’s best for your children is apparently abuse! I am just horrified about the loss of this family in every way possible!
So this is the slime that abused Maya. And destroyed this family. Why is she still walking free.
Yeah she thinks she’s gonna slime her way out of this. She must have forgotten the power of the internet or maybe she doesn’t know that she will never want to go online again. Cause we will all be out here to greet her. She reminds me of the female sadistic Nazi guards that worked with the Nazi drs.
Huh? Her mother isn't walking free
That woman had WAY too much power!!!
*This woman has NO EMPATHY AT ALL. Just because you aren't whining ALL the time DOES NOT MEAN you aren't in pain. I feel SO sad for the little girl Maya, who was the victim of this horrible "social worker".*
OMG how many years ago did she graduate? Yet she considers herself a reasonable expert, by doing one subject that glossed over Munchausen by proxy. She considers her reading on the subject while in graduate school sufficient to claim she is well versed in the subject??? Yet no further updated research reading afterwards, even with the three cases in her working career. WFT Jan!!!!!
She "researched" munchausen by proxy but when it comes to judging her condition she says she never research CRPS. So youre saying you only researched the condition you wanted to be true?? Hm.
Watching this is infuriating. She stays within the limits of what is legal (sort of) but the harm she caused far out weighs any perceived harm she thought she saw. There was no child abuse. But, because this lady has the authority; she was able to abuse that authority and impose her irrational senseless logic to spite an upset mother who was trying to get her child the care she needed. With a rare enough syndrome that this lady knows jack s**t about.
reading your comment is infuriating. How can you say that tricking your own child into believing she is sick, making her really feel imaginary pain, is not psychological abuse?! That's an abuse of ink! (or bits, as the case may be).
@@Silly.Old.Sisyphus lol, i think ur misunderstanding something about this case. Idk how you could think the CRPS was faked. There was no proof of Munchausens by proxy. The only “crime” was a child with a rare syndrome that the doctors could not understand; was upsetting the mother because she was recommending treatments, aggressively. Which any parent would do. I can understand the hospital not wanting to do those treatments. But, claiming the mother was abusing the child!? Slow down! How about reassessing and/or investigate the situation before we threaten to arrest parents and take custody of their children.
@@RhynoTV11 you reveal yourself to be someone who jumps to conclusions, because nowhere in my critique of your initial comment do i suggest Maya faked anything.
It is a common technique of liars to accuse others of the very crime they themselves commit, which inclines me to conclude you are not simply jumping to conclusions, you are trolling. And you are quite expert at it - you caught me on your fishing hook. You win your game.
So i will not reply to you further.
@@Silly.Old.Sisyphus “making her feel imaginary pain!?” How else do i interpret that but, fake. Lololol, nice troll again. You got me
@@Silly.Old.Sisyphus glad i could help, have a nice day
IF an entity has a responsibility to report abuse then they better make sure there is abuse. You can't allow someone the right to make a false claim that causes harm and then hide behind a regulation that is designed to prevent harm. That is so illogical.
Truth
Ketamin comas seem abusive to me.
But proving false claim is exceedingly difficult.
She weirdly wanted to adopt
Maya. And made her sit on her lap and tell her she loves her. It’s weird
That’s weird. And she is the one with munchausen’s.
And she gave poor Maya life long triggering episodes from her weirdness.
@@Suzee6040 I agree. Can’t stand that women. She should be sued for everything she’s worth, which probably isn’t much.
Oh AND in the Netflix documentary maya said that she was saying weird sh!t to her like she was going to adopt her and she’s going to be her new mom.
Wow. That is scary!
I doubt that.
She actually started laughing at the most important part of her deposition...she clearly didn't know anything about CRPS. Why was she allowed to be in this position & make clinical decisions only an MD /DO should be making? Plus, her arrogance is disgusting and reprehensible. This lady thought she was large and in charge. She had a big ego, didn't believe Maya, didn't like Beata, and didnt know sh!t!!! She is the abuser, here. She ruined a family along with Sally Smith. I'm livid as I have CRPS too and have been in pain after i fractured my ankle and had surgery. Catherine Bedy should be in jail right now and never be around children again.Hopefully her position was eliminated or only filled with a real doctor! How dare she wear a cross around her neck. Witch 🧙♂️
I have pain constantly 24/7 and look completely normal, get yelled at for parking in handicap. Unbearable pain. Maya‘s documentary on Netflix was so hard for me to watch because I could feel this little girls pain and nobody believing her was so heartbreaking. This monster of the human should be jailed for what she put this little girl through. People and especially kids don’t just scream out in pain for attention especially when they’re in a hospital bed away from their family. I swear all these doctors and social workers did this because they did not like Maya’s mother and we’re punishing Maya for it.
💜🦋💜💯💯💯
This woman should be criminally charged!
For someone who says everything was "outside of her decision/job/responsibility" and always another person's doing, she sure seemed to have a high level of involvement in Maya's care! Hmmm, maybe she should have been fired for acting outside her purview, then! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
She will forever be responsible for the destruction of a family, the death of a mother.
Sorry, but the mother was responsible for her own death. A stable person doesn't go on to just kill herself in a place her other kid can find her. Yes, this may have been a huge f.up with CPS and the hospital but Beate sounds very unstable from the very beginning.
She was not responsible for the death of Beata. Beata was responsible for the death of Beata.
This woman should have her LMSW license revoked. I hope Maya’s family gets justice in their lawsuit. Personally, I wish this hospital would go bankrupt after the suit.
How is this woman still employed by Johns Hopkins??? This is infuriating!
This woman is an example of the run away ignorance in the medical system. CPS is infamous for mis managing people in the system with devastating consequences. She is inline with a broken system. What a distasteful, arrogant personality. Kudos to this attorney for his insight and his line of questioning.
I can definitely see how the huge egos involved by some of the hospital staff really wanted to blame/shame the mom to avoid their own accountability 😢
Poor Maya
This is why chronic pain is not seen the way it should be professionals. Chronic pain presents different as you get used to pain you are in on a daily basis! This woman has no clue
This needs to be taught to medical professionals ASAP
Chronic pain is not within the scope of a social worker from what I understand
Wow. This woman is all about power and being right. Her ego reigns supreme. I hope this hospital loses and loses big. Poor Maya and family
Soooo she’s treating a patient who has a disease that is associated with pain, and she doesn’t know “what it’s like”, and she’s read “something” on it . Please someone tell me this woman lost her licensure . Because this is terrifying this person was working with children . And basically calling kids liars. When they can’t advocate for themselves . This is mind blowing
No excuse for NOT ALLOWING PARENTS WHO HAVENT BEEN INVESTIGATED TO SEE THEIR CHILD DUE TO A CHANCE OF POSSIBLE ABUSE DETERMINED BY ONLY ONE SOURCE of OBSERVATION....NO ANY OTHER FACTZ‼️💯
Oh there's another " expert" involved in this travesty.
Look up Sally Smith on this case.
Makes this woman look like a saint!
My anger is so strong at this Hospital- this Bedy person is the one that was giving CPS (DCF) all the information and that’s what all decisions the judge made were based on !!! - The Hospital claims she was working for DCF but wait she was employed by the hospital and her opinions and actions were representing the hospital not DCF! The injustice this child has been subjected to makes my heart break! The entire situation was caused by the hospital and watching those attorneys laughing and snickering truly shows they have no caring and compassion! They speak of Maya as -a child - the child - unreal!! Children have feelings and those that are chronically ill should be treated as a person!!! My heavens!!
So my fiance has been diagnosed with RSD now called CRPS its so painful for the patient. Sending love light and healing to this family.
As a nurse I can tell you now at handover often patients who were difficult were described as “precious, needy, co-dependent, difficult” ect. In my experience they were often treated badly because of these words, I never repeated those terms and mostly found the difficult patients the most interesting. This woman is ridicules, has no medical knowledge of any use.
Thank God for nurses like you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
My doctor forgot to put in the order for my morphine drip for the first 36 hours after spine and disc posterior and anterior 5 hour surgery. And they just tuned out my screaming all night.
She followed ZERO orders she was given . What a freakin liar . I hope this woman can NEVER practice again
So she didn’t even know why Maya was there, yet she felt qualified to decide what Maya needed and didn’t need. I hope she goes to prison.
What needs to be done to get her criminally charged because this is ridiculous!
I've never seen a child be punished for handling her chronic pain better than most children. Absolutely shocking
Wow!! The horrendous abuse came from the hospital NOT from Maya's family. The trauma they inflicted on her is infuriating. 🤬🤬🤬 I hope this family gets every penny they're suing for.
To watch this lady laugh and smile and hear her click her pen while on the stand and use her cell phone is infuriating. This maybe a joke to her but she was not the child in pain separated from parents
This testimony made me sick to my stomach.
Me too‼️‼️‼️
Maya you and your family went through a lot because of this lady and because of the her authority and ego, I wish you well and I wish that court will show you justice 🙏🏻
She pisses me off And Why did they treat Maya like she was in Jail!!!
People keep your children from John Hopkins Hospital. The American Idol contestant is suing now they took her children too 😢😢😢
Shes the abuser she should never b around children again if i had a child in that hospital id b running out if there with my child
This woman is so cocky and on a power trip not only do I feel sorry for Maya and the families that she’s worked with. I also feel sorry for any employees that had to work with her. This woman is horrible.
My little nephew broke both of his arms at 5 years old. Not a single tear, not screams. He just kept repeating it hurts. And "it hurts" was all he said while in the hospital to fix the bones and put the cast. No screams, no tears. Nothing. If the injury wouldn't have been visible, you would think it "was nothing serious" but we expect more from medical and social professionals. They can't dismiss somebody's elses pain because "is different than that of others". How the hell can you "standardize" how anybody, a child un particular, reacts or explains pain! Unbelievable. She's disgusting.
Exactly....my son at 3yr broke his arm...no tears,no crying..i only noticed a bit later pulling up his sleeve the arm was swollen...no other sign whatsoever
My daughter broke her elbow, yes her elbow, cracked it right in half- our first nurse didn’t believe us because she wasn’t “in pain”
I requested a new nurse, the new nurse was educated since she knew pain presents differently and the X-rays confirmed her elbow was broken.
I filed a complaint with the first nurse that came in.
It is always someone else’s fault with this lady! Never hers! It’s risk management fault, CPS’s fault, moms fault etc. Take responsibility for the horrible things you did to this child!
She needs to be locked up to protect children and the community.
This scares me so much. When I had my son hospitalized I was never "monitored" or have the clinical social worker there around the clock. They did occasional rounds with my son but his doctor was present for EVERY decision being made about his treatment. The social worker was pretty much just another ancillary employee. My son loved and knew all his nurses for sure who also gave him undivided attention. This lady gives me the creeps.
i am speechless.... this is one of those frustrated employees on a power trip.....trying to elevate herself to doctors standards ... constantly stirring the pot!! she's trying to mess everything with her exaggerated calm demeanor..... but she cannot fool anyone. here is a recommendation for you: RESIGN!!!!
I find it scary she is chuckling after someone lost her life because of their actions.
Something about her doesn’t fly with me, something with her is just off
this witch was on a major power trip and needed to be kept away from kids.
You know damn well she was telling the drs and anyone that would listen all about what she thought they should do.
She is just an arrogant liar and monopolizer deserve to be fired
She has absolutely no remorse for what they did to that family.
