The fact she thinks her job is to provide ONLY evidence for child abuse without looking at evidence against child abuse is so disgusting. She should be investigated. Maya's mother wasn't the first, or the second, or the third.
Right. To protect the child who potentially might being abused. Those claims are not taken lightly by anyone in Health care.
@@LuvableAFI agreeee
She was confronted by a protester going into court this morning. It was a man who served 8 months in jail on her false accusations.
This is a really common problem with investigators like this. Like arson investigators are looking for signs of arson, so chances are they will find them and never look at why these things happened or how they could happen, they just jump right to arson
It is only Arson only when the FIre Inspectors for the Fire Department that put out the fire, say it is. @@jannettb7930
The arrogance and cruelty of this woman is beyond the pale! She shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children.
Or around people period.
We can see, who actually are the perpetrators, it's not the late Beata rather JHACH staff!
Right, that's what get me. She don't care who gets hurt as long as she's the one who decides to ruin lives and feels she's powerful!!
She should have her medical license revoked and never be allowed near children ever again!
@@AR-dm7ud the way everything is nowadays, the good are looked at as evil and the bad as good. These kind of people never get terminated from there jobs, they may move onto other jobs, and do the same thing. Poor Maya and her family, they continue to be victimized through the defense team and the evil and corrupted people and corporations they defend, never taking responsibility for their dirty deeds.
"My job is to investigate child abuse."
When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. She is completely oblivious to her own cognitive bias. This is dangerous for someone in that position.
Very well said. You nailed it
Spot on
I love how you worded this.
Im elated that the Kowalski family got justice. This woman is a NIGHTMARE
Amen to that she is a demon 😈 like Cathy Beady 🙏
Dr. Sally, main doctor respobsible for the diagnosis, was born in october, for reference. There is a pattern with evil women being born on the month of october, whether their evilness is low-key or high-key
@@oshing9 Ps there pockets are deeper than anyone of us could ever imagine ? I believe Cathy Beady, was charged with the murder of another 10 year old child who she held down on the floor and used her knee into his neck ? and once again Dr Sally Smith was involved in that as well ? can anyone please help me understand how they are not in prison or facing criminal charges 🤔 ? how is she allowed to work around children she's still working in a hospital in Florida in Pediatric NICU i believe they said Tampa Florida ? Jesus Christ im horrified for any family that she's currently involved with ! ! i certainly hope that they have heard or seen something about this trial or Cathy Beady, past ? Good lord i can't even imagine.
@@oshing9 Dr Sally Smith has been accused by over a dozen other families who lives have been destroyed by her she retired this year 2023 what a disgrace 💔 my heart goes out to all those families who lives will never be the same after Dr Sally Smith 💔 God bless her were ever she's at today and always 🙏 💔 😢
They are rolling on money.Only they know the truth. That family even tried to press a charge of child molestation . But it was dropped. Perfect stranger came in "her" room picked her gown up and looked. Why was that charge dropped?
..
She needs to be criminally charged and have her license to practice striped. She ruined and destroyed so many families she needs prison time.
Absolutely! She’s pure evil!
Amen to that take her wright's away to practice
Pure evil.
Hope this lady gets her license revoked. This is brutal.
She won’t. Unfortunately, But at least people will know about her
Lots of people knew about her before Maya. I live in California and I remember stories about her in the news regarding shaken baby syndrome She has a long record of accusing child abuse when there’s none.
@@AM1999 Do you know why she hasn't lost her license or have any idea why not?
How common is this that people like her keep working?
her anger you can see it on her. She tried to say, try to clear up from the depositions war by making her put her hair down put on my cell phone very strong conviction, trying to speak with the title man I was like yo I have severe tried to I wouldn’t have called or you don’t wanna call this witness, that’s amazing to me how pathetic she is standing over my head that face I bet you know that they called this child name my goodness I can’t even imagine what this poor girl has all been through. This is just a big things that she’s suing for I pray to God, they win because Maya cannot take another loss.
@@AM1999yep. Her history is horrifying.
If you watch the documentary it states that several families came forward stating they went through the same thing and she was the “investigator” on every case! She should not be allowed to continue performing those duties and she should be held accountable!
Parents went to jail for over 27 years because of this ladies MIS diagnosis and she has the nerve tot alk about Maya's mum putting her in a coma to save her life? Lordy Lordy.....
She did not believe Mayas doctors that were treating her for CRPS and knew Maya better than her. Any case that woman has come across needs to be reevaluated. How many other families did she destroy.
Just from what I’ve read and the interviews I’ve seen at least 10 since this case started started in court
In another deposition she said she had taken more than 300 cases to court
If any watches the documentary at the end you see other real families appear on it complaining about this women and how she destoyed their lives too. So maya not the first child she abused.
Many!!! Read the article BAD MEDICINE by Daphne Chen. Pretty enlightening.
@@YIKESMFThank you! I brought up the article on Brave, I'm going to read it here shortly.
State: "Dr. Smith, you're saying that you know more than five specialists in CRPS?"
Smith: "I didn't think their opinion was reliable" says the Dr. w/ no expertise in CRPS.
🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀🤦🏻♀
🙄
Whaaaaattttt???? Crazy 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Did she get paid for her consults , because she clearly didn’t want the hospital calling the hotline to report suspected abuse , she wanted to personally be called. The question is why ? How many children did she recommend to the family court Judge that parents loose their parental rights and the children be placed in foster care or adopted out ? Something is not right about her involvement. She had a God complex , ignored 5 physicians that had treated Maya , even admitting she knew more than they did , because she didn’t agree with what she thought . Also how is she allowed to walk around with a patients medical records ? Medical records are to be in a safe place and not removed from hospital premises or printed from personal computers, or shared . She is clearly violating HIPAA regulations. She also texted about Maya ‘s medical records on her personal cell phone , which is against HIPAA rules. She needs criminal charges locked up in prison for her crimes she committed against Maya and her family .
perfectly summarized.... I agree 100000000000%
Lock up Sally Smith! I hope karma comes her way.
She literally had past victims confronting her on the way to court and had to be escorted back to her car on the way out.
So that strategy of thinking that she's the smartest one and has the right to bend facts and narratives to pull kids away from their parents was resulting in as misapplications of justice and false positives as you imagine it would.
I do not think she's evil in intentions, but being so convinced and willing to run a bullbozer over potentially innocent people results in evil outcomes.
This woman along with Cathy bedy have done this to hundreds of people 3 fathers imprisoned with not real evidence just the same as mayas case
I suggest you google “bad medicine” by Daphne Chen. It’s a good article about some of the families Sally Smith has destroyed. Justice for Maya and her family ❤️
This woman is clearly hiding something. She knows she's not professional, she knows she worked for a guilty organisation, and her disdain for truth and justice is palpable.
She is the walking definition of ‘a god complex’.
So, we just ignore the facts and go with... Well, not even a conspiracy theory. Just the idea of a conspiracy theory (TBD) because she didn't pass a vibe check.
@@PennyxXxDreadfulIt’s not a vibe check. You don’t slander other professionals in public or hold yourself up to question others diagnosis. Her not my job always sounds bad. Just like she didn’t think other “inferior” doctors are qualified to recognize child abuse doesn’t mean she is qualified to evaluate chronic pain conditions in children. She strikes me very much as someone who once found a case of child abuse can now see child abuse in all cases she looks at. Didn’t the NetFlix documentary say the county that this hospital is in enjoys a child abuse rate more than twice the other FL countries? I’m sure they are all investigated by the same witch hunters and were processed by the same court. Poor families
@@Jen39x Kirkpatick told her not to look into it. These other "professionals" were literally complicit in and profiting off of the medical child abuse of this little girl.
@@PennyxXxDreadfulI'd agree but the facts are against her too. The reality is that if you aren't liked by a jury then there's gonna to be an uphill battle in your believability. The jurors will decide guilt and they know more about it than you or I, they'll find the hospital guilty, it's so obvious.
I hate to break the bad news to her but yes, when you see a psychiatrist or therapist or counselor if there is child abuse yes they put it in the report. She’s a liar. She’s a damn liar.
You are absolutely right. All medical professionals are legally obligated to be mandate reporters.
All of CPS are liars.
She is a prosecutor!!! If you do not include both sides you are biased. She just was offended at being called the truth.
Things Smith never did during her "investigation":
- Never met or examined Maya
- Never administered the test for malingering
- Never administered a parental fitness exam
- Never explained how Beata, following Dr.'s orders, caused Maya's presenting symptoms
- Never observed Maya & her mother together
- Never reviewed the 48 hrs of covert video footage of Maya
- Never gave any weight to the opinions of the 5 CRPS specialists who diagnosed Maya with CRPS & are also mandated reporters, required to report suspected child abuse, who never reported such concerns
DITTO. She simply failed at doing a proper evaluation of a patient.
In-vest-I-gate!
also they never took Kyle away from the home just maya?if parents are being “abusive”you remove all children
Not only that, but the doctor (who was an expert in CRPS), specifically said that CRPS often is misdiagnosed as Conversion disorder (which was what Smith and the other medical staff were trying to claim was one of the things Maya had), and that Maya actually had CRPS and not conversion disorder... and she just through that sh*t out because it didn't fit HER narrative.
That woman should be investigated and hopefully arrested for her malpractice.
I wouldn't let this woman oversee a flea. She has an menacing presence.
So by her own testimony, she COMPLETELY ignored all other medical evidence that disputed her false narrative of chiid abuse, BECAUSE THAT'S FOR THE LAWYERS & COURTS DECIDE?
WHAT A MONSTER!
That's one thing that got me. As a doctor, your field is science-driven. Data collection for a report is EVERYTHING. And your report is supposed to be objective and just state the facts. The fact that she left out KEY EVIDENCE that contradicted HER opinion is the epitome of bad science and bad data collection. That alone should've triggered numerous investigations against her, yet here we are, with her quietly being able to retire and (possibly) pick up her license again and continue practicing. She needs to be held accountable to the fullest extent.
For reference, I just earned a masters degree in public health, so while I'm not in anyway a doctor, I can tell you how important proper data collection is in Healthcare (hint: very).
I love how she went from “they’re not reliable” when 5 different specialists said she did have CRPS, but when asked by the hospitals attourneys wether or not anyone at the hospital diagnosed her with CRPS she was like “No! And theyre specialists!” As if that mattered to you 5 secounds ago.
AND she even said “not all (specialists in CRPS) is created equal” so you get to decide who knows what they are talking about? Why not question the specialists at the hospital then? Why assume they know what theyre talking about? Extreme case of confirmation bias. Which would be common if you are only looking for “proof” of child abuse and disregarding all other proof of other explanations. You know like what she says her job is about.
Agreed. If she was smarter she woyldve given all the doctors infor in her report to the judge, then the judge would chat with each doctor in court, and he would make his determination. By her neglecting their information and not giving it to the judge, she is misleading the judge by not having all the facts of the case. Her choosing who is reliable is not her position...its the judges
What's funny about that, is she's STILL full of shite. If the doctors at JHACH didn't believe, in their oh-so-expert opinion, that May had CRPS... why did the hospital bill the family for CRPS treatment. This lady couldn't even keep her story straight.
I hope the hospital pays big time! The nasty attitudes alone are cause for abuse.
WTF!!! Only putting in all bad stuff in a report leaving out important facts? WTF!!! Why has she NOT been arrested yet?
And then say that’s not my job
You do realize this woman likely saved Maya's life? Maya's mother was likely to kill her. Even if the current quack she found stopped treatment she would just find another provider who would do what she wanted.
you are incredibly st&pid🤡
@@bensonr2so this evil woman is better than board certified Neutrologist who actually treated Maya and prescribed Ketamin for her?
If this women is so innocent the Kursnir did not put lawsuit against her! If this women is so innocent can you explain to me why other families like the Graham said that she came to their face and accused they lied and put harsh word on report that cause the husband in jail for more than 300 days until his name was cleared? Her CPS report has 2.5 times higher rate to separate a child from family compare to the average of state of Florida
@@bensonr2 None of Maya's family including Maya think that she saved Maya's life so why on earth would I believe you?
Is very scary that this woman has this kind of power. How many more families may be affected by her poor judgment?
A LOT. Look her up. It's awful.
Exactly
Several!! There’s several cases that aren’t getting the attention because the families aren’t able to bring a case to court. Also, there’s a story out of a father that was convicted and is spending 25 years in prison because of her claims of him abusing his child. Which has been noted to be false.
And how about the Judge who did not let her mom kiss her? He never ever looked at the parents past and how clean they were? Never looked at the other kid ? Never even ask neighbors or teachers, family menbers? Man i hate him
I would not be surprised if there is a class action against her and the hospital , this case blew the door wide open
and she laughs at the end. no regard for Maya's mother who lost her life because of her. this is beyond shocking.
You shouldn't be able to strip people of their children , if there isn't evidence from psychologists or psychiatrists! Jaw dropping.
You don’t need a psychiatrist or psychologist. Everyone in health, education, etc is a mandatory reporter. They just had to have reasonable suspicion which they did.
@@user-ui2hw5os3dBut it was "reasonable" because she ignored the evidence that said different
@@davidrajaruzicka5546 courts would most likely be cautious in that situation anyway if there was any suspicion. There were quite a few who suspected.
@@davidrajaruzicka5546 considering the mum sought out very risky experimental treatments I do think there was concern there regardless of what the specialist said.
@@davidrajaruzicka5546 I think the only evidence she discounted was the quack doctors who had threatened Maya's life with crazy treatments not legal in this country.
This nasty woman didn’t find mayas physicians reliable so she claimed the mother was abusing her because she didn’t approve of the drs treatments ? I feel bad for anyone who ever comes in contact with her
Wow… I’m amazed she said these things out loud! Amazing how she knows more than specialists 😳
Right? I hope she rots in a living hell for all the lives she destroyed in her abuse of the power she uniquely had in the county she practiced in. She’s a horrible human being.
She literally spoke to other specialist in that field to come to her conclusion.
@@rouke3254Yeah specialists she had already shared her opinion with based on facts she cherry picked to fit her narrative. She admitted to finding refuting evidence but never put it in her report to the judge. That’s illegal.
yep she think she’s the best of them. She has no medical training but somehow they’re wrong. She’s right and it makes me sick that someone like this is even walking the Earth.
@@hostronic she was in the 99% percentile of her weight class, had been wheelchair bound for a year, was getting ketamine dosages 25-50x more than the standard, other hospitals reported they didn’t think she had CRPS, other doctors reported they didn’t think she had CRPS, she came into a hospital with abdomen pain which was probable from the high amount of ketamine which is the literature is known to cause this issue (20% found in one study). If you can’t come to terms that everyone in this dynamic of Maya life failed her then you are naive and ignorant to the facts. Her mom failed her, her doctors , the hospital, the state , everyone.If this isn’t medical abuse then it’s medical neglect and ignorance. The ketamine didn’t help Maya and it’s ironic how the standard of treatment which is physical therapy which Maya used after her hospitalization to overcome this diagnosis and now she is fine without the ketamine.
Oh she does not like someone challenging her decisions. Someone needs to report her to the medical board if they haven't already. She clearly had confirmation bias, she formed an opinion and then looked for evidence to confirm it. Apparently she is the only doctor on earth that is competent to make a diagnosis. I worked in healthcare for years and have a chronic pain disorder, I have seen some doctors who are a real piece of work, but she takes the cake.
She sounds like Dr. Fauci, insisting they are the only ones credible, only ones with experience in the whole entire Country, ya right!
She saw Maya for 15min on 2 occasions, yet she knew better than Neurologists and Anaesthesiologists who actually assessed and treated Maya ? What was her qualifications to rule out a diagnosis on a patient she didn’t even assess? That’s ludicrous!
If that’s the standard and system in assessing child abuse in the state of Florida, you have a serious problem.
And yes, she in fact is a prosecutor not an investigator. The judge takes her reports which bear an incredible amount of weight as investigative, yet she’s acting as a prosecutor, I mean, how does that even work? She sets parents up to fail and it’s not fair. Every report she’s made should be re-evaluated now because that’s a huge injustice.
Her job was to fact find. She didn’t need to see her. She just had to put forward a case to the court. The court agreed. I don’t know why the family are now suing. The hospital has an obligation to report medical child abuse if there were grounds. There were grounds. The hospital didn’t have to be right, they just had to have reasonable suspicion which they did. Also, the hospital isn’t liable for anything pertained in the court order. People need to look at this case beyond Netflix.
@user-ui2hw5os3d the hospital is still wrong when their staff took off Maya Clothes,get her naked without parent consent or Maya agreements! Perhaps it can consider sexual harassment
The hospital is still wrong when they are agree with this evil women that Maya does not have CRPS but still put CRPS treatment and bill to Maya insurance! This hospital is still wrong when their staff is keep saying Maya is NOT in any pain!
@@user-ui2hw5os3d She needed to see the patient. Otherwise her report is not worthy of consideration.
@@user-ui2hw5os3d I see where you're coming from but if you agree that it's her job to fact-find then the first thing she should have to do is either conduct an independent evaluation of the patient herself to confirm the existing diagnosis or have an independent third-party do so. At no point should anyone calling themselves an investigator simply look at the paperwork and make a knee-jerk reaction to launch an investigation of the parents for "child abuse" especially when doing so involves throwing out the opinions of other medical professionals in order to sway a judge towards this preconceived conclusion. Such an investigator is worse than useless to everyone.
@@Asidebar she doesn’t need to see her. She collects the evidence and presents that to court. Based on even the evidence that was in court that several practitioners suspected conversion, I believe it would have ended up the same outcome anyway. Regardless, Sally Smith wasn’t an employee who work for the hospital and even the judge made the ruling the hospital isn’t liable for her in that capacity anyway. Only if she directed treatment. She did look through Maya’s medical files which was part of her role. Honestly, as soon as this goes to the appellant court this will get overturned as the jury didn’t base their decision on the evidence presented.
Now they need to investigate all of her cases. This is what happens when your authority goes unchecked.
The man who raised me was a Sargeant Major in the Airforce. He was a tuff guy. He was also a wise man. He use to say to me, "Don't do your face like that. It'll get stuck that way." He would always point out the older class to me. If someone spends alot of time sad...it shows. If someone spends alot of time smiling...it shows. If someone is angry or wears a scowled face...it shows.
EXACTLY...she has a very angry face!
Yip, as a child if I scowled my granny would say stop it or your face will stay like that. Wise!
Yes! She’s got the face. The undercurrent of anger is showing on the outside! In grumpy wrinkles!
She fancies herself more trained and intelligent above all other specialists in Crps, then uses her “expertise” to accuse and convict parents. Even if the doctors who treated Maya were not “ reliable”, in her opinion, isn’t it those doctors rather than Beata/Maya who need punishment?
'the court' has no medical training, she raised reports - yet failed to include in her report what Maya's prescribing doctor had confirmed
If she did that, she ought to be in prison. That’s beyond negligent, it’s evil.
@@EffSharp
Listen to her testimony - she ignored 6x registered specialists, including Maya's prescribing specialist - as she supposedly didn't think they were 'credible'.
Despite this same woman confirming that she's not trained in child protection at all😡
A very very dangerous individual sat on that witness stand!! Wow.
Shame on her! She is a disgrace to the health services!!
Justice for Maya and Beata! I said it in the beginning and I am still going to say it. They did NOT like Beata. That is why they took it to the level they took it to! If I took my child to the hospital and the Dr was concerned of what another Dr was giving my child. Why not call the Dr whom was prescribing the medication ....talk to them, sit the family down and all Dr's involved and have a discussion first before you accuse the family!!! Had that been done I don't think we would be here discussing this today and Mayas family may be together as a whole. What they did was wrong. They accused a little girl of lying. They took her family away from her. They violated her rights. Awful just awful.
I agree totally...
Amen
Exactly. It was a power play.
Also if they thought the Dr's were not giving Maya the proper dosage for her....why no charges filed against the doctors??? Sally Smith left out their reports they gave when it went in front of the judge
@@bonnieleeamos good point..
Now we all see just a tiny bit of what beata went thru .omg I have never seen any doctor act like this and I am a disabled person and have seen LOTS of doctors
Beata has serious mental health issues. I believed in everything in the begining, not anymore.
@@pennicochrane8886so…you think Beata had Munchausen syndrome by proxy? You agree with this general practitioner, Smith, who has no experience in neurology nor anaesthesiology, is the credible one? One who focused on one side of the investigation - she’s the credible one?
@@Khumzwi I DO NOT BELIEVE HER AT AT ALL! I LISTENED TO THE PROSECUTOR WHO BROUGHT OUT SO MUCH FROM NURSES WHO TREATED HER, DOCTORS WHO TREATED HER, WHO SAID MAYA WAS VERY DIFFERENT WHEN HER MOTHER CAME TO SEE HER.
@@pennicochrane8886Prosecutor? This is a civil suit. There is no prosecutor. 😂
@@pennicochrane8886 the nurses, who were NOT instructed by their superiors, took pics of this beautiful young girl where she was almost completely naked; held her down to take those pics, all while she was sobbing and didn’t attend to her almost immediately after she urinated and defecated on herself because GP, Smith, and social workers thought she was faking CRPS even after Maya told them she can’t physically get out of bed. But sure, it was her precious late mum who abused her🤦🏿♀️.
I cannot even believe that she is a doctor to come to a conclusion in such a short amount of time. And meanwhile, Maya got so much worse in the hospital, and she takes no responsibility. No accountability, and this is Sickening. This doctor is a some kind of a sociopathic individual, and she should have a psych evaluation.. I may not be a doctor but I know. A cold-hearted inadequate doctor when I see one.
Did you see in the court hearing how many medical doctors suspected conversion disorder? It wasn’t based on one medical practitioner but several. That along with her inconsistent presentation. The hospital isn’t liable.
@@user-ui2hw5os3dthe fact that she’s laughing in court like she hasn’t done anything wrong or caused another human life to be gone is disgusting. How she’s laughing at the end of this video, shows no remorse of her evil actions towards this mom.
@@heather4089 she wasn’t a hospital employee. There is more to this than Netflix.
This woman saved Maya's life. It's a shame how a popular platform like Netflix can put out a "documentary" to get everyone riled up with no responsibility to report actual facts. That's the despicable thing.
Power of discernment!
Well, fire all the doctors, apparently this lady is a super doctor in all areas of medicine
What evidence of 'medical child abuse' is she referring to, especially as she ignored each qualified neurologist and anesthesiologist in her report
I was just thinking the exact same thing!
Any normal personal would think is going to extremes if a parent puts a child in comma for several weeks. It was her job to do the job. It was a judge that decided based on what she presented. She said the raw true. A judge could have said, " No, this is not enough evidence , but the judge was the one that decided at the end of the day no her.
The FACTs of her pumping her child with dangerous drugs, as evidenced in her own blog. The details of that Mexico experiment and the fact that she now was doing this on an outpatient basis, and that Dr. Hanna couldn’t stop it. No one could. And never mind that Maya is literally on her own two feet. Mom wanted her sedated and dependent? . Most simple minds won’t look beyond Netflix.
Exactly... What She Presented....how would the judge know she didn't put things in the report from other specialists?? her reports obviously biased and she admitted that. @@claudiaovando8435 She made up her mind they were guilty the second that call came from doctor.
@@claudiaovando8435that’s not how it works. Smith can manipulate any info that she wants, and can straight up lie. When a judge first hears the “evidence”, the family and attorneys are not allowed to counter with their own evidence. In fact, it could be months and months before they can put forth their evidence, all while the child is imprisoned by this “doctor”
The hubris of blowing off 3 other experts is mind-boggling. This woman is a horror show. I understand she victimized several other families.
This woman can’t answer a Yes or No question! It’s all about how wonderful she is!
“Who elected you to be the judge on whether all of these board certified physicians were reliable?” 😂 She is pathetic.
This woman is a DANGER to family and children, her license should be revoked ASAP!!!! A psycho on a loose!!! I pray and hope this family win every single penny in their law suit!!! All my support to them, people in Florida should rise and protest against this hospital!!!!
She confirmed in the last video that she had *no training* in child abuse.
She got confirmation from Maya's prescribing doctors, but ignored his confirmation in her report?
She printed Maya's medical records?isn't that a breach of Maya's confidenciality?🚩🚩🚩
She no longer works for Suncoast, so how is she able to print out any of Maya’s medical records for in which she is giving a proper today? Doesn’t fall on her hippa laws????
@@tammyirwin703maybe she printed them out back then and has kept them in her possession, which is so wrong.
It’s about time these types of situations are brought out into the opening.
If your job is to investigate, you investigate. You don't prosecute. Your responsibility is to look at both sides in the light of the best interests of the child
W.O.W. What a piece of work she is. You know, it's alright for her to have her own opinion - but in her position she should be looking at the entirety of what is going on - not just things to feed her own ego.
Since when did we separate kids from their entire network of family and friends for a suspicion? The hospital has cameras in rooms that can be watched while family is there. It would be less creepy and perverted than the voyeurism that went on in the eeg room. Sally admits she only gives the "real judge" information she knows will result in a removal. She also explains/admits her "real judge", like everyone else besides Beata, does what she says. Technically if rights or laws or ethics mattered, everyone who complied with Sally or Beady while on the clock at jhach is guilty. Nurses following orders from social workers is messed up.
Unbelievable it truly is .now is this the worker that's not licensed but licensed ?
You don’t have the slightest inkling what medical child abuse is and the way this mother was drugging her kid with general anesthetics. I mean you sound completely ignorant to what was going on. You either haven’t listened to all the doctors testimony (not just this doctor, ALL OF THEM, across multiple facilities and states) or you didn’t understand what you were hearing. The hospital saved this kids life. There was no “suspicion” about abuse. She came in to that ED in full fledged withdraw and she’s alive and normal today and completely off the drugs her mother was killing her with. She never had CRPS to begin with. She was misdiagnosed. And She never had ketamine again after leaving that hospital all those years ago, and she’s a completely normal teenager today because of it (actually walking and eating and not in constant withdraw). Funny how that turned out.
@@embeth446So, according to you, she had a she had “a full fledged withdrawal” from a non-opioid ketamine, despite never having withdrawal before in any records from other physicians and hospitals. Then you also believe that she never even had CRPS, despite being diagnosed with it by multiple doctors.
Why I should read the rest?
Edit: Anyway, regarding your ketamine remark, I assume you're unaware that the family has court orders forbidding them seeking ketamine treatments. In other words, if she does use ketamine and says about it publicly, her father will get arrested.
The dad was there
@@embeth446absolute rubbish!!! You obviously know nothing about CRPS that’s worth a jot! So she didn’t have it? Despite a number of doctors confirming she did, even the hospital who continued treating her for it! The mother was drugging her wth ketamine? Despite the hospital continuing to prescribe it to her!? She didn’t need it because she wasn’t allowed it afterwards and she ‘recovered’? Of course there are other protocols that can be used for CRPS, of course! But it took her years to make significant progress after release, progress that could have been sped up on her original plan for all we know, and she still has flare ups, she’s not ‘cured’ … as someone who has CRPS I’ve used MULTIPLE different type of medications (including ketamine) and therapies over the years. Some are more for quick relief, others are for longer term management. There is no one magic solution that works, and all CRPS suffers gave different regimes that work for them that might not work for someone else. They were following a plan that was recommended and under the guidance of a doctor.. it wasn’t something they magically came up with. And let me tell you… the suffering from CRPS is IMMENSE! It’s not called the Suicide Disease for nothing. So the parents were not only doing what they had been recommended, but were then having to see her treatment they were recommended taken away and know their daughter was suffering immensely.
This doctor should not be allowed to keep Maya's medical records. They should be removed from her possession since she claims not to be a treating physician.
I was going to write, who gave her the right to have the medical records in her possession? Until, thinking about it further, Sally Smith just does whatever she wants. The medical records do not belong to Evil Sally.
Keep them????? Wtf are you serious? What do you mean? Is her being in possession of her medical records not some form of hipaa violation?!?!?
As a nurse I can’t take my patients records as keepsakes. I thought they meant she had them in the hospital not like she had a copy of them for herself. She should be in trouble for that alone
She couldn’t keep up her scared nice girl mask she wore when she first got in. She’s truly a scary narcissistic manipulator and she truly is forceful about how she is never wrong
This is a wicked and malicious woman, it shows on her face which is scary since she works with children
@@FRAME5RShe should sue her ass for defamation.
The fact that she left out important health information and only using HER evidence and disregarded all the other opinions from the other doctors and the official clinical diagnosis from a board certified neurologist is insane and is so demeaning and despicable beyond words. She as a doctor should know better that her emotions should have come last because it is so detrimental to the patient(s) health outcome. I really do hope she cannot practice after this and if she still does, that woman needs to be supervised. No questions asked.
Ok- is she really supposed to exclude other valid doctor’s diagnoses, just because she doesn’t think they are reliable, in her opinion?
Great question
No, she is most certainly not
Most have ignored other DR'S Opinions and Nurses.
Because they were the ones who were making thousands off her ketamine treatments she thought they weren’t reliable. Which is crazy. She should be looking at all the evidence. Not just her thoughts and feelings
I can't believe the jury didn't get to see this outstanding testimony from dr.smith. 😮
Yes she is soooooooo credible! 🙄
😅 I believe her
They didn’t !??
Why didn't the jury get to see this?
@@candydeville I
Think I read somewhere they used her original taped deposition but I still don’t understand why
Pure arrogance to think she knows more than all the other doctors who diagnosed Hiya with CRPS & not "fictitious disorder". She needs to be prosecuted for her crimes.
In order to assist an investigator you have to provide all evidence including all sides, not just what you felt was relevant for your opinion.
Do I think Beata gave in too much to Maya? Yes.
Do I also think Beata was a mother at the end of her rope trying to help her kid? Yes.
Do I think red flags should have been risen by the staff at JHATCH for the ketamine doses? Yes.
Do I think this witch was completely biased and absolutely did not do her job and caused this issue to go from one about possible doctors taking advantage of Beata and Mayas pain and turned it into a parents worst nightmare? Also, yes. This lady should be behind bars.
Gave in too much to Maya? What? What does that even mean?
A simple Google search would prove the ketamine dosages were in therapeutic levels in line with ketamine coma treatment- a known treatment for CRPS used around the world.
@shannonmay5685 that is actuallybcomplete nonesense. Wherr is your degree in anesthesiology and neurology?
Even her smiles are fake.
You can tell how short her temper is, and how tall her ego is.
Her self entitled attitude is not 'in the interests of a child' - or in the interests of truth. She confirmed she has no training in child abuse - yet has an attitude to say what's 'irrelevant' in this case?
Yup.
Her bringing in all those notebook's didn't make her look good or prepared, it made her look over the top, crazy, obsessive, and like a prosecutor!
So the question is: why did the JUDGE NOT allow the jury to see this? My understanding is that the plaintiffs had to register it for a possible appeal because the judge ruled it out. Is that it?
The laugh she made is after her testimony is disgusting and sickening that in my opinion came somewhere where hell resides.
So only Sally Smith knows what’s right! Just ask her she’ll tell you!
An investigator simply reports they do not diagnose. Just the facts ma’am just the facts.
Imagine having to deal with a person like her!
It’s crazy how angry she gets any time the lawyer questions her judgement. She can’t even pretend to hide her distain. I cant even image the horrors so many families have faced because of her ego and thirst for power. What a sick woman.
Following a prescribed treatment by licensed MD is not MBP.
Assessment of a patient for anything involves evaluating data that rules in AND rules out a diagnosis. For her to say she only needed to document what supported her theory and disregard anything that ruled it out seems like poor practice and biased to me.
When your gathering facts and info to help you make a decision whether a allegation is true or false. You document everything as you go. Then make your decision based on all the facts. But when your motive is to reach a certain conclusion from the start. You only gather info that supports your desired outcome and ignore the rest. She knowingly and intentionally made false claims against that mother.
This woman was on a power trip trying to destroy this families lives. She succeeded up until now but damage has already done.
Shs was born on october, for reference. There is a pattern throughout history of emotionless, cold-hearted women on power trips, born on october. I swear, look up all the evil women in history.
maya’s attorney did a great job at making her look stupid
👍 she's not that cocky with Maya's solicitors questions
But this wasn't in front of the jury so no one saw it.
@@jovicrazedI hate it!! No jury saw it, it's vital information. Why did the judge agree to keep it out? This gives defense more time, to polish her up.
Justice for Maya and her family…… kim🇬🇧
I can't imagine being the parent of a sick child and having to deal with this woman. Every case she's been involved with should be reviewed. This whole case is so heartbreaking.
What a dangerous individual
This woman ‘Dr Sally Smith’ sank the defence by her arrogance & lack of empathy I really hope that no other child is subjected to her assessment or even brought within a million miles of her.
"Who elected you to be the judge of whether all these board certified physicians to be reliable?"
How has she not been charged with anything so far? Horrible vile woman!
Dr Smith: The opinions and evidence provided by others that don't support MY opinions are irrelevant.
Her proffer in a nutshell.
She IS an expert in pediatric child abuse. As a practitioner of it. Well, I understand Johns Hopkins canceled her contract. And someone else let her go. She may have “resigned.” At least two of them.
Why this was outside the presence of the jury?
From what I understand, the proffer is like a dry run to make sure nothing off limits comes up risking a mistrial. The questions will be asked her again in the presence of the jury.
That make sense. Thanks a lot for replying.@@michelephelps1087
This proffer was done for appeal purposes. It wasn’t brought up in front of the jury because it goes well into the chapter 39 proceedings which aren’t allowed in this trial.
@@michelephelps1087I hope you are right, I want it to get to the jury. It must! Otherwise, what is the sense of jury duty, when so much is left out? It only helps the defense, right?
I say this every video I see on this case - acute care medicine is NOT qualified to evaluate or treat chronic conditions. She is extremely biased and to say under oath that certain physicians aren’t qualified is slander
That’s why your insurance paid. And you admitted guilt but you just can’t let it go. Then you smear other doctors.
She is the same type that separated me and my twin brother at 9 years old and sent us to different homes. The pain of it still haunts me at 66 years old and my twin brother died 4 years ago by suicide. He was still trying to cope with the abuse of our Childrens services abuse. She is and was the abuser. Educated to the point of stupidity.
Ohhh so sorry this happened to you and your beloved brother may he RIP😔
I’m so sorry. May he RIP 🙏
The fact that she thinks her opinion surpasses all other board certified practitioners specialized in specific areas that she is not says it all. They should really have oversight for people like this and respective fines and liability.
It amazes me how she remembers every exact moment tge defense side ask her but when prosecutors ask her details she can't remember 99% of them!!! The innocent lives she has ruined permanently is disgusting 👿
I hope families falsely accused by this woman will sue her and put her in jail, and not allow her to be near other kids
The hospital agreed that Amya did have crps until the got the bill. That hospital and all their personal abused this baby for fun. Shame on all those people in that hospital. I hope the Kowalski s get every Dagn dime. Good luck Maya I'm praying for you and your family.
Bet she never diagnosis anyone again if they pay that much ! This can never happen again . Not ever .
No man better give her kids!
Parents that take their children to her now, need to find a different pediatrician.
SSmith is trying really hard to appear likable. It is a struggle for her. Apparently she is used to being in charge and not being questioned. She developed a vendetta against this child/family because she lost conttoll over the situation. She should loose her privileges as a childcare advocate. She does not function within the best interest of the child.
One argument I don’t see people making is why we’re the kowalskis accused of abuse when they were literally taking a doctors orders. I could understand if they were testing her without doctors recommendations but how can it be abuse if the doctors prescribed the medicine? The parents are only going off what they trust in their doctor.
220 million cannot bring back Beatta!!! But can really show how horrid the treatment Maya and her family received!!!
I bet they are very careful about treating other that way . I mean this is John Hopkins !! Look at these people how very sad
Hearsay ! Based on what others said?
Someone who doesn’t know the condition and doesn’t know how to treat it shouldn’t be deciding on how to properly treat the condition.
What happened in this Case is quite telling. A family with 2 Children, who lived a decent life, and a Mother who was exceptional in all her attempts to give Her Daughter and Son the best of herself and be their back bone., is now Dead.
May Maya continue to follow Her Mother's Memory, by being the Best Version of Herself, and never quit, Your Mom is Blessing You from up above, as Well as Your Brother Kyle. God Bless Both of You and Your Father.
Keep The Fight, and Be Strong.
Kyle and Maya, you both are exceptional Human Beings, that is what God expects from us, never settle for less.
Regardless of The Evil that may try to disturb Our Sanity.
🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤
Somebody sue this lady, she got zero penalties and is retire but still involved in John Hopkins, she is criminal
You can see the evilness in this woman! It breaks my heart for this young lady💕
arrogant
Yes. Definitely evil
Okay if you're doing a medical evaluation of a child for the court then why is it one-sided? Are you not supposed to say look this is what I found here are these doctors that say that the child does have it and this is how they were treated this is why the doctor at Johns Hopkins was suspicious and this is what I observed of the child and her interactions with her mother and so there you go this is the synopsis of the case. Not here let me only give you the information that proves the mom is abusing the child and make the mom have to defend herself against DCF like no Sally. You have to be fair and impartial in your investigation just like a cop can't come in there and be like oh you said it was a suicide so it must be a suicide even though the person's been stabbed 20 times or I don't believe this guy he's not crying over his dead wife so he did it so I'm going to go right down that rabbit hole and only look for things that reinforce your belief. A bunch of bullshit
Some people grieve differently! This case has been going on for awhile, he’s trying to stay strong for his kids, I’m sure he grieves at night when he’s in bed at night!
She is literally saying that she went above doctors to go after this family! She needs to be locked up
I’m so glad I watched the verdict before I watched the documentary. This woman is dirty and vindictive and has no business having the power she has. The child protection system needs WAY more scrutiny. For that matter, all government agencies that are full of people who are unelected yet have the power to take our constitutional rights away need scrutiny. 🇺🇸
I have seen Dr Phil episodes where parents are accused of child abuse they did not commit and I remember Dr Phil saying that sometimes investigators are wrong but they would rather risk being wrong than take the chance that actual abuse is going on and risk the life of the child. Makes me wonder if this is something taught to social workers?
Actually, it is something that is taught to social workers. I have a few friends that are social workers that have told me beyond horrific stories that I don’t even want to think about anymore.
Exactly! I can totally see why the hospital did what they did. I truly believe that the hospital may saved Maya’s life.
After watching the Netflix documentary I was with the family side but the defense witnesses changed my mind completely
you are not to assume anything....if you suspect child abuse you are to report it. However, there is supposed to be a competent investigation to analyze the facts and then a Professional in the field of Child Abuse is supposed to make a determination. Just as many kids and families are harmed by this than are helped. Many abused kids are ignored and its never dealt with at all.
One of the first things you learn about the scientific method in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, is to not skew, or fudge data in your favor. This is what we call confirmation bias. A good practitioner of sound science reports all well-collected data, and STILL reports when certain data is thought to be unreliable (you record it and explain why you think so, regardless of personal agenda, because it matters). It is not her job to make someone or anyone guilty of child abuse, it is to report findings in relation to a POTENTIAL child abuse case. Withholding information this important and deciding that you are the arbiter of truth is totally criminal and should certainly be punished in court.
Her evaluation were based on her assumption, without any specific evidence and she decided not to allow parents to know what steps she takes to gather allegations against them. Parents kept in the dark deliberately to manipulate findings, complete abomination!
You nailed it 100% and this is the way those that have an EGO act and or those on a power trip act. They think their above the credentials of others and above the law or know for certain the law doesn't apply to them. If you ask this sick Dr. Sally Smith, she had nothing to do w/ Maya's mother killing herself. All she did was kidnap her daughter and falsely accuse her of child abuse and assassinate her character. How on God's Green Earth is she not in prison for 50 years.
Wow nobody is RELIABLE in their diagnosis ONLY HER WAS THE MOST RELIABLE! What a narcissist
What does this woman get out of doing this to families? She got a god complex or something? Something has happened to this woman in her life to be like this..... She should be in jail!!! She's the abuser!! I hope she keeps getting sued by families now.
Why does she have a copies of Mayas medical records??? . Surely thats illegal???
If they go through with the appeal, I hope the new jury doubles the amount awarded to the family.
I agree and the nerve and gull is too much to comprehend, they are not the least bit embarrassed, sorry, or worried about arrests, doctors losing licenses, or any type of punishment. They're insurance will be whatever fine is metered out. I'd rather see all those culpable go to prison and lose their life savings.
