As a retired nurse I only have two words that describes how this girl and her family were treated! MEDICAL MAFIA!
I’m also a retired nurse and totally agree with you. A psych NP on Facebook told me she was glad I was retired and how stupid I was to believe the kowalski family. It was awful. People can be so mean
@@NurseSue425 all I can say is that had to be some troll. Anyone with an ounce of humanity in them wouldn’t say such a thing! We got the best training in the best hospital in Ireland and we ingrained in our brains was never dismiss the instinct of a parent! Often today the parents are totally disregarded! I am sometimes disillusioned with how clinical standards have gone so very downhill! Solidarity to you, a genuine good caring nurse! 🙏❤️
@@deboraheiffe1343 unfortunately I found her on Facebook. She used to work at that all children’s hosp. I live in same area. She was friends with some of my friends on FB . It was so disappointing on so many levels. Actually I have fibromyalgia and Dr Hanna is my pain md. He is cutting edge pain md that pts come from far away to go to. I just happen to live 2 miles from him. I was trying to let this “ nurse” know that people do not understand chronic pain and that Dr Hanna is a caring md. I guess that didn’t go along with her munchhosen diagnosis. But thank you for your kind words. Take care.
@@NurseSue425 I work with children. Not in a medical setting, but in education. I work with disabled children. the extreme levels of negligence by the social worker and others at the hospital is blaringly clear to me. It's criminal. I'm not a doctor but I understand the boundaries. In education, we would never think its normal to hold a child on your lap and kiss them. If saw someone doing this with my child? I'd be enraged. This is an easy win for the family imo
@@deboraheiffe1343 the trolls are real. Twitter is a sh!t show. Here on YT trolls are abundant. Many of them are foreign bots. They (those who want/seek the downfall of America) want us arguing amongst ourselves. That way we we'll be too busy to notice our national decay and too exhausted to take action.
separating a young child from her mother and then the child losing her mother is a life long trauma - the perpetrators are criminals!
or her dad. my dad died worrying about his daughter being held prisoner 30 miles away
If they were tried and put in jail they would feel what separation from family is like and possibly traumatized by other prisoners.
Too much pain for a little child who alredy has to deal with a huge amount of physical pain 😢😢
I hope Maya wins this trial! Sally Smith should be criminally charged for the damage she has caused and continues to cause families!!!
I hope she wins
Family settled with Sally Smith and Suncoast for $2.5 million. Look it up . Also dropped case against Bedy look that up too.
Hope also she get justice and wins the case 🙏❤️
Sally Smith should be in prison 🤬
Are you referring to the licensed clinical social worker? If so, she was doing her job. In order for the mother to commit suicide, she had to have a history of mental health. Social workers don’t have much power FYI
@@michellealvarez8160
Grow up. Since when has a court ever gone against what a "licensed social worker" recommended??? They don't have much power??? What world do you even live in? It can't be the same one as the rest of us if you actually believe anything you just said. Furthermore the mother DID NOT "have to" have a hx of mental health (issues) simply because she committed suicide to save her daughters life! What good parent wouldn't give their lives for their children? She was told that Maya could DIE not being properly treated for her condition. The REASON Maya wasn't being properly treated (according to social services and the court) was because of the MOTHER! The reason she couldn't go home was because of the MOTHER. This bish wasn't doing her job in ANY capacity. These social workers were on a power trip with a side of hubris. Full Stop!
As a CRPS patient, and a victim of corrupt CPS and my first husband committed suicide I feel like I’ve been Beata, Maya’s dad and Maya herself. It’s hell. But I’m grateful for how much awareness this case has given to not just CPS abuse, doctor abuse but people are finding out about CRPS. Prayers for Maya. Justice for her family and Beata.
I'm so sorry to hear about what you dealt with. I am glad the Kowalski's were able to bring ALL of this to the public. I have fibromyalgia so I can empathize with the gas lighting that goes on medically but what this family and a bunch of others were victimized by so many systems. So their win to me is a way to finally people being heard and taken seriously. Because of the documentary it frightens me that the level of corruption was this awful! They deserve everything they are asking for including apologizes from everyone that took part in the "care" of Maya. This would frighten me to take a child for medical help. It would hurt for anyone to acuse me of abuse and especially my child. When I was in a custody battle it really hurt anyone would think I'd harm anyone much less my own infant daughter I fought so hard for her to be born. I lost family once I found out I was pregnant and refused to abort because this child's life is worth more than my relationship with family. Anyways, my heart will break if this family doesn't get a judgemental for all they are asking for. It's not about the finances but for a huge conglomerate to take responsibility and know that individuals matter more than corporations and egos.
Same😭
I'm so sorry .My son is taken too right now
I am so sorry hun for your lost. Maya case is bringing more awareness and light to her illness and the corruption of the system. I hope things change
😢hug to you❤
I can’t even believe this is real!!!! How does a hospital get away with this unimaginable horror??? Please please Lord bring justice to Maya and her family!!💗🙏🏻💗🙏🏻💗
She was abused… and held captive… both tortuous… then being denied her Catholic rights (I am Catholic) is spiritual torture. She deserves a huge settlement… and her brother is also a victim.
Amen 🙏🏻
Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Maya my heart goes out to you. Please know that you are loved and supported.
❤
@@carolined8676❤❤🙏🙏
🙏🏻
🩷 my heart aches for this poor child. She is a strong young woman to survive this.
I’m crying!! Maya is in so much pain and it shows. I know this case will WIN but it will
Never take her mother back but I pray that Maya and her whole family finds peace. Thinking about you Maya and your fam. Much love little woman stay strong!
It definitely shows in her eyes 😢 this poor baby girl ❤
She is incredibly well spoken for her age! Her vocabulary is impressive.
I’m in tears. This poor baby. This has got to stop. I’m so angry at the doctors nurses and hospital are guilty of so much harm to this child that is life long I’m so angry
Exactly! What happened to DO NO HARM?!!!! I hope they award her more than what they are asking for.
Yeah, and now she has to relive the entire experience in front of the world all over again. I wish I could give her a huge hug. The medical industry needs an overhaul. I’ve been through my own traumatic experience with our medical system and I’m starting to think it’s not all that uncommon, but people can’t successfully litigate because the doctors and hospitals are protected.
I am especially angry at Ms. Bedy! The audacity. Not a good person at all!!
@@jkc4 you are angry at a mom who cared for her sick child, tried to get help and was met with obstruction and accusations? Are you a parent? Have you had a sick child? Have you ever had to deal with a healthcare system? Just curious. I don’t understand how one can blame a parent for trying to get care for their sick child, who lost her livelihood because of some overzealous social worker. No income, no job, no healthcare insurance, no one listening. I see why she felt hopeless.
@@Prettypeachylife did you not read Ms bedy the social worker, I would never express anger towards the mother! I have 4 children thank you. I may have spelled her name wrong but it is the social worker Kathy Bedy. Maybe read it before accusing. What angers me to my core is that in the deposition she was so flippant about this poor young girl and her family went through. It is horrifying. I have a 10 year old son, I couldn't have imagined what that poor mother went through and bless Maya and her family being able to listen to these depositions and staying so strong while hurting so much inside.
I hope she wins this case. Kathy Beaty needs to be arrested and never work in healthcare again.
Agree! This is more than just a mistake.
So do the doctors and any others who ordered this abuse to happen.
Her as well as Sally Smith...
❤KOWALSKIS!!!!❤ Stay the course! We are all rooting for you. GOD BLESS and Thank you for YOUR PERSISTENCE! MAYA, your mother was a genius. She could see where this was going and it was a loosing battle at every turn. She paid the ultimate sacrifice to save all 3 of you. She knew the only way for you to live was that she had to remove herself. She was incredibly intelligent and obviously selfless. Live strong like your Mommy... Love like your Daddy. BUT MOST OF ALL, HONOR YOUR MOTHERS LEGACY BY ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE. SHE IS A HEROINE...💜 ✝️. VICTORY & PEACE FOR YOUR FAMILY.
Amen
So eloquently stayed. I appreciate your remarks and pray the same for this entire family. God bless, protect and give them continue to move forward in strength and love.
I am not a very emotional person, but I am crying hearing this testimony. I hope the family get the justice they deserve.
I just want to hold her and rock her. She is so precious. I know Beata is very proud of her.
What's horrifying is this happens daily. My son has been a victim for almost three years and it seems like it wil never end
It’s so sad what this hospital did to her and her family!
Maya has been through so much. She's stronger than she knows. I wish the best for her and her family. No amount of money can compensate this family for the trauma and hardships they have endured.
She's a child with the pain on her face of someone so much older. This is beyond disgusting.
Not only did they turn the hospital into a house of horrors for her so that she is afraid to seek healthcare for herself, she may be terrified to seek medical care for her children going forward if /when she has any.
In addition to a severe monetary judgement against the hospital, maybe some of professionals involved should lose their license to practice.
Did they do their due diligence?
How much time in consultation with her regular doctor did they spend before making accusations?
How much time did they spend consulting specialists in her condition before making accusations?
What kind of care planning did they do for short term and long term goals?
Upon admission a discharge plan is supposed to be initiated and the family is to be involved. What was the hospital policy, what was their process and plan?
What experience in munchausen by proxy does the doctor have to be qualified to make this diagnosis? Did they seek consultation?
If they judged this to be munchausen by proxy, what steps did they take to be able to work with the family for Maya to return home? Was there a psych consult for family intervention?
Regardless of whether or not it’s munchausen by proxy, no parent should be put in a position that she views her own suicide as the only hope for her daughter. 😢
What a cataclysmic tragedy!
Yeah. My ability to let my children do things that led to my abuse has been impossible. I've been hated, mocked and shunned because I had to say no to some things.
It has led to me being isolated a lot.
I can't imagine what poor Maya has faced and will face if she has children. I had no idea that I would be crippled in so many ways until I came face to face with the situations that led to me being assaulted, and normal people let their kids do those things. When I couldn't let my kids do those things because of fear of what happened to me could happen to them.
Maya will probably never be able to take her children to a DR. How could she?
So well said.
the problem was the mom called them out on this early on and it became a game of winning rather than what was best for the child. they allowed their emotions to get involved. people like that shouldn’t be in a position to make these kind to decisions.
I agree wholeheartedly with your statement. She had been professionally diagnosed with a condition by a licensed physician and JH took it upon themselves to say it was all a lie and the mum is a criminal!
The social worker was in with them less than 10 minutes and thought that was a good amount of time to tear a child from their family, yet they will visit a household where a child is actually being abused and let the child die in the hands of the monsters that are those kids parents!
This lawyer is very gentle with her….well done sir.
The sheer number of individuals who aided in the mistreatment of this family and refused to do anything is scary
My mother is a narcissistic sociopath like Cathy Bedi. I struggle to enjoy life everyday because of her. When Maya testified about the treatment she received, I felt everything. They try to take away your joy and disconnect you from people that really love you. They inflict pain, and then claim that it I your fault or that your exaggerating and making it up. I try to be the opposite of my mother in everything I do as well. I understand Maya so well when she said that. I hope she wins this trial. What john Hopkins did is an insult to real survivors of child abuse. They are the true abusers and it pains me that a loving mother lost her life because of people like my mother. It's something I think of everyday. After watching the documentary, I started taking ketamine myself for complex stress and it has been helping me put one foot in front of the other. I owe it to Beata and Maya that I'm regaining my life slowly. I genuinely wish this family the best. They deserve every grace that life has to offer, and Beata is a martyr for us real child abuse survivors.
Right!!!?? My mom's a narc too and this mother dies!?! It's always the good ones!! I stopped contact with my mother 4 years ago and I am STILL struggling with depression and how i talk to myself. I also try not to be like her but as you know they spread their fleas onto you. I immediately pick up on it and currently I am reinventing myself and basically. ❤ reparenting myself
@@terryellis7692 ketamine really does help with depression. There is a company called mindbloom that sends you medicine to your house.
I also have a narcissistic mother who loves to rob the joy from my life. I can relate and cried when Maya said she gets jealous of her friends relationships with their mom. I do too when I see others have healthy relationships with their mothers because their mom is normal and not disordered.
I know the feeling- sending you hugs and love. Please look into ketamine.
My mom is a narcissist and I have CRPS. I’ve had it nearly 3 years and she hasn’t bothered to research, ask questions about it. I begged her to watch the documentary with Maya. She refused. I sent her the link to the RUclips video with the CRPS doctor who testified in this trial who explained CRPS in the best way I’ve ever heard, she said she was too busy. My mom won’t ever care or try. She’s also brainwashed my adult kids against me. My parents are divorced and I have a wonderful loving dad, but he has dementia. I feel like an orphan. It’s so lonely. I’m so jealous of my friends relationships with their moms, their own kids and siblings. I don’t have any of that. It’s hard to ignore the other contributing factors of CRPS that call it The Suicide Disease.
Her courage blows me away. This whole process had to be deeply compounding on the trauma she and her family have already endured. I can’t fathom her grief, but I’m astounded by her strength and courage.
She got it from her Mother. RIP Beata, you did a great job raising your daughter. I’m sorry the pain was too much to bear.
@@mollycote1021
It's heartbreaking
But she bŕought up a wonderful daughter., ànd will be so proud her.
RIP lovely lady.😔💔
Its like her mother is right there with her.....that's her strength.
I absolutely empathize with Maya.
I have been suffering with Chronic Pain for 18 years and she is only at the beginning of her journey.
Its hell.
Me too. So sorry
Me too. I'm so used to the gaslighting that at this point I try to not talk about my chronic pain. When I'm offered health insurance I just chose what ever will save me from bankruptcy in the event of a catastrophe but I don't intend to see the doctor more than the minimum requirement of once a year. And plus places like UCLA health is all about curing every thing with mindfulness and getting you to take the covid vaxx. I can't even get birth control so I said F it I'm not going to have these excruciating periods with wearing adult diapers and I'll get a hysterectomy instead. But even that that they didn't want to give me anything but lidocaine and narcan (I don't have a substance abuse nor have I had any narcotic in over 26 years). I fought to see a pain specialist that said yeah these days she can't help a lot of people and that it's not common to he able to get a pain specialist/anethsethia prior to surgery.
My heart breaks for Maya. The sadness on her face! I watched the Netflix documentary & finding out what her Mother did shattered me to pieces! Shame on the hospital, cps, & the judge who denied her Mother being able to hug her daughter. I really hope they win! This family deserves a win & to be able to finally heal.
I was 15 when my mom passed from heart failure and I was so lost. It always made me a bit angry when one of my friend’s would argue with her mom. I also didn’t have a loving dad like Maya’s. I’m 61 now and I’ve missed my mother every single day.
Same here.
😢 same here...
Maya is such an articulate, intelligent & beautiful young lady. As I type this, I know that she won this case but I know It's not going to magically make all of her trauma disappear or bring her mother back. I hope that it will bring her peace and help her to pick up the pieces and move forward with the amazing life that she deserves. As a mom, I know that her mom is so proud of her & always with her. Thank God that she has an incredible dad & family to love and support her. God bless you, Maya!
This poor girl was so traumatized it affects most little things in her daily life. How heartbreaking
Sending Maya, her Dad, and Kyle so many hugs and prayers!
Speak your truth , Maya, and never stop. It is so frustrating that the world in general for the most part does not understand the pure Hell that depression brings. It wraps itself around your life and squeezes the vitality from a person. It is a killer by way of physical illnesses, isolation and fear. I feel for you and you are in my judgement doing a stellar job at standing up to some of these tedious and ignorant questions. I'm rooting for you and your dad and brother to prevail and receive the justice that you all deserve. I believe you have the support of many, many more people than you might realize.
Watching and constantly getting annoyed at all the “objections” getting called. THIS GIRL DESERVES TO SPEAK HER STORY AND TRUTH. This family has been through immense tragedy and they deserved this win. Maya is an incredibly strong girl and my prayers go out to her and her family.
It warms my heart a tad from the anger I hold for her when I learnt she had a auntie. I’m soothed somewhat knowing she has a motherly figure still in her life that she trusts ❤
Bless this sweet girl, just heart wrenching to watch her talk about relationships and being embarrassed to "feel"
Maya you have amazing strength. You will come out of this stronger than ever. I suffered from PTSD myself and after time passes you will have exponential growth. You are resilient and beautiful. Im so sorry you don’t have your Mommy. Im so sorry you have CPRS. Those people will pay.
I am so proud of Maya she is brave and strong may her mother rest in peace
Being an adult @ 33yrs old when I lost my Mom.....I get where she's coming from, but she's so young. I can't compare that hell and pain.😢
I saw the documentary on Netflix. Absolutely monstrous that Maya did not get to see or hear her mother for several days, weeks even, before her mother took her own life. Maya was a little girl who desperately needed her mom in her time of need and the hospital did not allow them to see each other.
I know for a fact when kids are taken away from the mother. There's nothing left but the fear of death. I hope you win, Maya. Your Mum will always be with you. May The Force Be With You 🌎 🌟
I hope the family wins the case! After the netflix doc, i also find that everyone who were involved in this case (like dr. sally, the judge etc.) should loose their work and licences!
I haven't been to a doctor in 20 years and it's because of doctors like the ones that ruined Maya's family. And now I'm afraid for my grandchildren.
She speaks so well for her age! I’m so proud of her and I hope she can overcome this and be the best version of herself possible. Please remember that mom is always looking at you and watching over you, she is proud of you and wants you to be better and happier!!! ❤❤❤
Sally smith should be criminally charged!!!!
Maya comes across very believable. IMO she is a great witness as she’s very calm, direct and answers questions intelligently.
A mother is priceless, 220 millions or billions will never be enough for everything they’ve been through
She is such a sweet and beautiful girl and so fragile. What was done to her and her family is absolutely horrendous. I pray God gives her some peace and a fulfilling life.
The trauma this poor girl suffered and her family I have chronic pain I’m never out of pain it works on you mentally and physically imagine being so young as she was when it all started being scared the fear she went through and to have your mom taken from you and then she passed away ridiculous what has been done to this family 😢
This baby girl is still suffering. Look at her. She doesn't sleep or eat well because she is in such pain. From loss of mom but I'll bet she has ptsb because of everything she has gone through. Bless her heart. I hope they get everything fing penny they asked for. Bless the family I send hugs and kisses and prayers for healing.💕
This poor girl. 😔 CRPS is no joke! I have a friend that has it. It took years for her to be diagnosed & when she has "flare ups" shes in incredible amounts of pain. Her legs will shake violently. Its heartbreaking to witness.
My heart aches for her.
Maya, you are so very brave and you will continue to change the world! This ordeal is just beyond anything
most people can imagine. Your testimony is literally the most courageous act I’ve ever witnessed. Girl, you go! You can do whatever you set your mind to.
I cried all the way through, I suffer from severe PTSD but being locked away from my family then losing my mother would just make me numb for the rest of my life. Please God, our heavenly father, cast your love over the Kowalski family, provide them a protective cloak like my mother does to me everyday. Blessed be Beata and family, your story gives me strength to fight for my children and take care of my mum.
That’s one brave girl and her poor dad watching and listening w tears. I hope JH hospital pays for what they have done .
My God, my heart breaks for her 💔
Not enough that she was born with crippling ailments traditional medicine has no clue how to treat, now she also has to live with PTSD from the hospital from hell and the bereavement of her mother 😢
I hope the jury does right by her and her family! I hope she can one day get a semblance of a peaceful life 🙏
This young woman is so strong, we can't even begin to grasp the strength it takes for her to exist in this world. We need to all meditate on her and send her love mentally if we concentrate and direct it towards her it will reach her and it's the very least we can do❤
GET EM' MAYA !!!
she was a child & y'all robbed, traumatized & harassed this young out of her youth, Innocence, a Mother & Family structure she had... smh.
one thing I don't play is messin' w/ children & ppl who mind their own business... to those that harm to child, scarred her mentally, SHAME on y'all so~called grown adults, can't even call your people cuz you weren't even acting like. are your lives so messed up that you have to rob a child of their mind of a peaceful & a mother & healthy life... she should be able to press charges on y'all criminally... cuz that's abuse. I believe you might I know what you going through all those examples you gave they are real people just don't understand. that you have to get on the stand and relive all these horrific things.
pick on somebody your own size bet you won't do that cuz you're cowards...
God bless you, Maya, I hope that you can get back some type meaningful peaceful life. My Condolences🙏
God bless her father brother and uncle there through thick and thin 100%.
Oh God I want to hug her. Is anyone looking into Kathys mental state and she was obsessed with Maya.They tortured her and her family.
PTSD is rough. I have it from my childhood and I totally understand the nightmares and fear of certain things. I was almost kidnapped twice as a kid. I am super scared of white vans and afraid being by myself etc… but, I promise things will get better when you keep working on it. I wish her well and prayers to her and her family
Poor Maya... I have CRPS. I've dealt with doctors not believing me. I refuse to go to the doctors when I'm sick. I had a temperature of 106 and refused to go to the hospital for DAYS
I have trigeminal neuralgia. the pain is brutal and excruciating at times, but people cannot see it. I'm so sorry for your pain and Maya's.
The love this family has for each other is heartwarming. How dare anyone try to destroy that.
As a person suffering with chronic pain, myself, I can identify and validate everything Maya describes to be absolutely true😢❤…Chronic Pain is distracting, debilitating, and absolutely reduces the quality of one’s life.
Absolutely! She is so strong. She actually expresses herself so eloquently. I've had CRPS for almost 16 years as an adult, and I do share my pain as eloquently. God Bless this young lady. 🙏
Maya is reeling in pain and trauma which is sooooo evident , you can see it all over her face and body language❤❤❤❤my heart breaks for this beauty , there is noooo way on Gods green earth she is faking this. She is genuine in her responses and remembers the smallest details. The way she describes this hospital and these evil people is like she was kidnapped and held hostage and thats actually exactly what happened to her. My heart is so broken for her , her mom may she rest is paradise and her dad and little brother, may they all get some closure whatever that may look like or feel like. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love to you Maya and keep listening , your moms with you in your mind , shes with you in your heart. Shes never gonna leave you ❤❤❤❤❤
This child breaks my heart. I don't know how she can cope with her chronic pain, crpd, trauma, missing her sweet Mom, fear from the hospital, ptsd. I can't stop crying. It's too much for a child to bear, I can see how her Mom couldn't take it anymore and tried to save her daughter the only way she could. Poor mom
Maya I'm so sorry. You can't trust nobody.
My heart breaks for Maya and her family. I hope they get justice! 🙏
Depressed & suicidal parents need to watch this child’s testimony. 😭
I may be wrong, but wonder if Mayas Mom took her own life because she felt, with all the accusations, she was a hindrence to her daughters release from the hell hole hospital. Whatever her reasons, it's tragic & sad for this precious family. Prayers to you.
@@berthaday3473I think that’s exactly the reason she did it. It’s so terribly tragic.
I think it could’ve also possibly been admission of guilt I think there’s lots of reasons why she committed suicide why all of a sudden is your daughter look fine walking playing sports actively doing things, but when she was in her mother’s hands, she was a cripple
@@evc4358 while I think the dr sally smith, and by default the hospital, and CPS really fudged this case from the get-go, i have to say, that the internet is treating this suicide in a disturbing way. as a "suicide surivior" the ripple effects of suicide are great and many. and no matter what anyone says it is suspicious that she was seemingly wheelchair-bound with her feet turning inward and now she is better. also, ketamine w/ds will make your stomach hurt. it certainly was never Munchausen by proxy though when she had a diagnosis. drs were prescribing her ketamine, not the mother. regardless i do think CPS and the hospital should be held accountable for not giving all the facts to the judge in the beginning. CPS being privatized is a very very scary thing. The more cases, the more work so the more work, the more funding. yikes.
@@evc4358she just said she still gets pain med infusions
Jesus Christ. This tears me apart . This girl is emotionally wounded for life . Hope justice is served with all the weight it deserves .
So sad for Maya. Justice for Maya and Beata!
I truly do understand and empathize with Maya i suffer from chronic pain, ptsd, depression anxiety, hope you win for your mother in remembrance I mean they also drove her mother to suicide, put them all in prison.
My mother died naturally when i was abou 55 years old and it has deep impact on me so much more a 10 year old little girl whose mother killed herself as a result of what she deemed to be her fault.
The system gave this young lady Maya a life sentence. The sadness in her face says it all. Her pain, the social worker behavior, the hospital treatment and incarceration in that hospital, taken away from her parents is a life sentence.
I was diagnosed with RSD REFLEX Sympathetic Dystrophy almost 20 years ago. It took many years to find out what it was and to find any kind of effective treatment. I understand how this lovely girl can sit there in a 7 or 8 pain and not say anything. The jerking she has is almost intolerable. It makes my heart break for this girl and her family.
Unfortunately that hospital did sound like a hostile place . Maya was very truthful in her feelings I can remember some of those same feelings back when I was her age, regardless of the traumatic differences shared by others.
Her Dad must be so proud of her
She did SO GOOD! Proud of you. Tell them everything, so much bravery! And your acknowledgement of how court works. You did a fantastic job ❤
I understand her depression well, about making plans and cancelling. Being so depressed you want to go, but physically can't bring yourself to do it. I also have ptsd but from childhood abuses. I have triggering responses to repetitive noises. Beeping. Buzzing. Anything meticulous repetitive. I just want to console her.
As an attorney, this child was ABUSED!
She was "robbed" to have a connection to her Mom.
I have been diagnosed with CRPS and the pain is so bad there's no way to even describe some of the things you feel and go through. Just today I woke up yelling out in pain with 2 hours before I could take anything including Tylenol. Not that Tylenol can at all stop the pain but there's only so much Tylenol you can take because it can be toxic. Just praying for this young lady because I too am suffering and I know. 🙏❤️ It hurts to do anything with my arms and hands like picking up a tea jug to pour tea or even the glass to drink it without pain is hard to make people understand. They look at you like your lazy crazy and pshycotic. Meanwhile the pain we suffer from is real and it's a battle every day. We are not spoiled and just want pain medicine we hate taking pain medicine that eventually you build a tolerance to and are in pain anyway. No we are not spoiled and want to do nothing quite the opposite we crave independence and it's scary In my situation I ask for help and am told by my aunt just do a little bit at a time I'm too busy to help I have a lot going on. I can't tell you how embarrassing and heartbreaking to have to ask for help and be told no I don't care to help you so you sit in a messy house with no dinner alone and try not to cry because it just makes you hurt more.
I can NOT Imagine! I have pain. Arthritis. Weird neurological issues, most likely something undiagnosed. Doctors suck. I know I have something autoimmune, but I feel unheard. I can NOT imagine this pain. I am super intolerant to pain and would of ended my life with how awful this condition is.
@@terryellis7692 it's not easy every day is an uphill battle.
Man this story breaks my heart so bad!! I wish I could have hugged her mom and stopped her from leaving her family. I wish I could hug all of them. 😞
PLEASE BE KIND TO MAYA
What a strong beautiful woman Maya is! I do believe she will get justice ❤
I have chronic pain auto immune decease, and any kind of stress and anxiety increases the frequency and the strength of pain etc
Me too. I don’t have a diagnosis yet but my pain and crippling fatigue hinders my life to the point to where I feel like I’m just existing. I’m not truly living anymore. I wish doctors would at least try to understand.
*Maya was 9 when they went there* 😔🙏🏼
My heart goes out to Maya
I admire the courage of Maya and I am so sorry for her loss, not only her mother but the childhood she missed out on. Social servies and the family courts need to be revamped so it's not so easy to take away children from parents who are doing the best for their children and they called it abuse. I hope Maya wins this case and all involved are given a criminal trials. God bless Maya, you will grow into a valued member of society.
Sweet Maya, you are not a burden to those who love you and care for you. Having chronic illness myself, it’s a place I go to as well. Someone once told me we have to give the opportunity to our loved ones to be there for us, to support us, and to love us through the trauma. Despite the tears, amongst the lows, and through all of the highs. You are a force. ✨ Your boyfriend sounds very loving and supportive, and you deserve that. And you are worthy of that. We love you Maya ❤️❤️❤️
I feel so bad for Maya having to sit through this trial in the severity of pain that she is in. Bless her heart.
What a beautiful well spoken young lady! Congratulations on winning this horrific case. God bless you!
She needs a closure also her family 😢
This happened to me. Why can't doctors believe us? Isn't it better to be humane by default than to be cruel just in case you've got a faker by default?
Why are so many medical professionals so cruel and such bullies?!
After you've been bullied like this, which a doctor should never have in their toolkit to do, you stay in INHUMANE suffering rather than ever going near these people, until you absolutely can't take it anymore.
Then you finally go, get treated so bad again, and usually get no help anyway.
People often end their lives because there's no hope of help anymore, since our stupid government decided nobody needs opioids anymore, unless they have stage 4 cancer.
Nobody else's pain is considered pain.
Pain is pain.
Nerves are nerves.
Doctors are often cruel and uninformed and uneducated.
I understand the PTSD I suffer from that as well. I can’t go to any doctor can’t be around crowds it’s hard. I understand Maya 100% I cry with her.
That poor girl looks so unwell & so devastated. 😢
This is soo heartbreaking. The treatment she received. There are truly good people in the medical industry who truly do care about children it’s just so unfortunate that she was left in the hands with the few bad ones.
That poor child She really suffered and she lost her mother Ihave seen similar injustices like this in my life and from watching this case i believe the jury ruled rightously in this case This family deserves every penny of the settlement Such a tragic heartbreaking thing they have gone thru
Maya is beginning to look really ill.
Considering she look(ed) amazing; living her best life w her boyfriend (in the audience) in the People Magazine a few months back
Sadly, im the unpopular opinion. Her mother unaliving herself makes ZERO sense if they NEED each other, that’s my opinion
@nancybeingnancy3081 mental illness never makes sense. But i also believe that if Biata didnt kill herself, DPS would have faught to keep maia from her family for months longer.
@@nancybeingnancy3081..I think you’re allowed to say killed herself. Unaliving sounds ridiculous
@@nancybeingnancy3081yawn

I'm sorry, did you watch the documentary? They were never going to return Maya home if her mom was there. That's why she ended her life
I felt your pain😭...I pray you win this case! You deserve very penny my dear! God bless you and your family..
I had those jerks in my legs when diagnosed with GPS, but on the outside to others, I looked like a "normal healthy" person
I never heard of this case until today, I saw the trial on tv, and remembered seeing a documentary advertised. So I watched it and I was absolutely heartbroken for this girl and her family! I hope and pray they get justice!
Sooo hard to watch, I just want to reach through the screen and hug her.
That child had to grow up way too fast. This is one of the worst cases I have heard of medical malpractice. I worked in health care more than 25 years and wrote about it. I hope this health care system takes this horrendous outcome seriously and that significant change will occur in their policies and procedures. There must be adequate oversight.
The social worker did not show adequate training to be in that position. Physicians and nurses must learn that the medical story of a patient is not complete without listening to the patient. It is also the case that medical practice should involve further investigation and knowledge. Nobody knows the whole of medical knowledge. The research continues.
CRPS may not be on the tip of the tongue. However, neurologists and other pain specialists have been aware of it for several decades. It is one of the most chronic and painful conditions known to man.
God protect this family.
One of my friends 9 yr old daughter went through the same thing this poor girl went through. The Children’s Hospital said child abuse and the doctor was illegally trying to get her to turn against her own mother by lying to her about how much her mom hated her claiming she abused her. CPS took custody of her and the parents had to fight to get her back. It was awful. She actually had a medical diagnosis. Some of which was Lyme disease and another disease. Doctors refused to believe it.
Maya I am so sorry you went through this. I understand. My son has been stolen from me for going on 3 years forced into countless hospitals and now in a short term residential facility he's been in almost 2 years. It's been horrifying. I understand your mother's pain and I'm so so so sorry for her and you and everyone involve.d
There you have a good woman. This world needs much more mayas. They are the last hope for this terminally ill society poisoned by so many sallismiths and cathibedis.
This poor, sweet, beautiful young lady. This is heart-wrenching. 😢❤
