This happened because of the stigma of medication in US. US is also responsible for OD spike as is a direct correlation from 2012 when they went after prescription medication. After that ODs of street drugs skyrocketed. Government and US stigma of medication is the issue here and kills people. Stigma of medication also assisted in my sister and brothers death. US tries to stigmatize MAT recovery now.

Exactly.

My understanding was that the hospital didn't want to settle because they wanted current and future employees feel secure with being mandated reporters. So they took it to trial. I know this family would give anything to have Beatta back. Bless their hearts.

No not true at all. The hospital tried to settle and the kowalskis refused

​@@tessashutler684That was their excuse. Another lie.

@@esk2g of course they won't settle that's a loss they wanted to win to prove the corruption. They'll never see their mother again/ the dad his wife again. That's worth more than over 200m.

A balanced and well-stated summary of the Maya Kowalski verdict. 👍

This is completely about the money. You don't sue a billion dollar non-profit without the exclusive intent of financial gain. $50m completely changes their lives

yeah it is. Did anyone I cried my eyes out when I do you remember it’s like I was getting nervous it’s weird that finally she’s believe finally her mom has justice all the above. I don’t think she cares about the money. I know some people will say oh she’s a Golddigger. This is what she wanted money. This family wanted nothing in fact they were getting by somehow, it’s really awful but in that moment I was crying just heartbreaking and it was just wonderful but it broke my heart when Kyle just started crying sobbing he broke down these kids shouldn’t have to be strong but they are they shouldn’t be without a mom. They should have their mommy. She left them so much and it’s so sad. She had to sacrifice the herself for her child to survive. She didn’t have a choice she wanted to be with Kyle. She wanted the she said all right I think anyways well, Maya, I’ll never see her again. I have to do this. these kids should not have to be that strong.

It was definitely munchausen syndrome by proxy. Florida is the same place where Casey Anthony got off.

💯

Exactly

Yes well said. I’m so glad they persevered and stuck to their guns. I’m sure this was an incredibly grueling process for the family

Yup true, true!

Amen ❤

I wish I was strong as her I don’t know how she held it together 😢

What i have gone through is worse than this. Only I have no one to care. My life has been cut short, my body damaged, organs removed and not one person cared. My own family allowed drs to damage me then stole my money. Its been 6 years and I have lost everything. This family here got it all. Millions of dollars, they were heard, loved. I am alone and fighting to live everyday. I will trade with this family anyday.

@@jkm1611 you trying to outcompete someone on their pain and suffering makes me have less sympathy for you and is kind of self absorbed and gross. I’m sorry for what you’re going through as well, but your situation possibly being worse is no need to try to diminish theirs.

Well said comment, I cried pretty hard watching that documentary. They have been given justice after fighting so hard and for so long.

Same. I literally couldn't breathe multiple times. And when the verdict was read I was crying just as hard. Finally, someone took care of Maya

Biased documentaries make lots of people, so doesn’t make them true

they would have arrested me if my child is there alone! truly! is so sad! having my girl away in a hospital and not been able to hug or talk TERRIBLE PEOPLE THEY WILL SUFFER AT THE END

Me either. Knowing you’re doing your best for your child, and being accused of Munchausen’s by proxy? The misogyny, it’s foul

Yes, Maya was strong, but she definitely needed her mother through her Darkest Hour. Her mother was selfish.

Yea? I havent been allowed to see my own daughter since 2017 because of a vindictive ex wife and the Sooorrrooos-Paid divorce courts backing this terrible sin. You see me killing myself like a fng coward? I thought you women were strong? Stronger than men and better than men at everything?

​@@timi-2020she wasn't selfish. She didn't k$ ll herself because she was upset or distraught. She knew that if she did they would let Maya out and back home and that's exactly what happened. That's the ABSOLUTE opposite of selfish. Would everyone wish she was here and hadn't made that choice in hindsight absolutely I'm sure but she WAS NOT being selfish at all. I'm sorry but the victim shaming I've seen of people calling this woman selfish is appalling. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

And he comforted her right back 🥺

I wouldn't say it was quick. And what about dad

My brother would never comfort me when I’m depressed…so that moment made me jealous ngl 😭

@@garymitchell5899 The Dad…I think was next to Maya he patted her shoulder around the same time…

@@thatgirl9532 I know. I'm saying, why no similar hugging they seem disinterested in each other

Don’t you think she could have done it in a way where her son didn’t have to find her hanging from a rope? I genuinely don’t understand this false narrative that Beata loved her daughter so much that she unalived herself leaving maya and jack without a mother and their dad without a wife.

@@belloftheball4518 I disagree. Desperate people take desperate measures.

@@belloftheball4518 her killing herself had her baby back at home within a week! She knew what they were doing. Period

@@user-bq9bb9ey2qsure, I get that but is she really a hero? She knew her son or husband would find her. She knew it was her insistence that Dr’s give her possibly fatal levels of Ketamine and hers alone that got CPS involved and led to this whole nightmare. I truly believe that Beata was mentally ill. If the hospital had given Maya the levels/amounts of Ketamine that Beata was demanding and god forbid something happened to Maya the whole country would be demanding the heads of anyone at John Hopkins involved with Mayas care. I’m sorry but this case did ring alarm bells for Munchausen. Whether true or not we will never know. Maya did get remarkably “better” health wise after Beatas passing. The way the hospital specifically the social workers handled this situation it disgusting. They should be fired. They let their egos get in the way.

👼🏼

Qualified immunity. Allows despicable people to keep positions of power unfortunately

and the thousands others are not becoming millions of dollars because they are not Netflix personalitys :( ... Happy they won their case but I don't get that amount of money...

You’re welcomE.

I totally agree

I agree with that 💯

Yes, thank you jurors!!! I’m proud of you for seeing the truth and acting on it!!! You have made all the difference.

Thank god .. this made me cry , their mother was such a warrior. May she RIP . This was so over due . That social worker should go to jail . It’s not about the money , it’s about the injustice that was done to this family and so many others . Disgusting.

No, it was just a matter of time. Beata was clearly unstable.

@@TMTM584 Sounds like you're projecting, keep your problems to yourself champ, no one cares.

The hospital could have avoided it by not creating an environment where employees were afraid to speak out about problems and where there wasnt sufficient oversight and communication to protect patients' rights and patient care. The hospital came perilously close to losing their funding for a number of good reasons. @@TMTM584

@@TMTM584 you are more unstable

@@thatgirl9532Thank you

Theatrics

​@@tinadiver13YOU try going through it. 🤬

They won't. It's war on drugs in the USA and therefore war on the chronically ill. No one cares. We are non humans to them because we are not like everyone else and can't be exploited to make money for the rich. So ya, I'm so thankful for this judgment, but it won't change anything because no one wants it to change.

YES - RIGHT!!!!

Netflix 2 and ask the jurors if they want to be in it.

🙏🙏🙏🙏

I agree took yrs before I got help for mine. Back when I started the journey was called RSD and only treatment was painful nerve blocks , which did nothing for me but gained weight. God bless you and May and family. Hope they don't get dragged through the courts by contesting JH.

I agree. I definitely thought it'd be another $100mil at least. This jury was (rightfully) brutal.

i mean, they kinda were punished until it hurt lol, they just lost a quarter of a billion dollars

the total was something like 220 mil, i'd say that's plenty to cause them to re-evaluate.@@HB-ey2dk

For an institution like that… it will be a drop in the bucket eventually @@cynic256

@@cynic256 🤣🤣🤣 true

Exactly, these punitive damages are going towards the other families impacted directly by sally smith. I truly tried so hard to not only fight when my newborn sons new ss# was stollen in a medical record transfer. When I was told I was worse than a drug dealing mother because I didn’t want to stay IF AND ONLY IF it safe for us both to leave. (They discharged me and the office closed. I was removed from my room but DID NOT leave the hospital because I was awaiting my child’s release. Which led to me not having a room. A nurse kind enough to let me stay until her shift was over. 3am. I waited until y when admission/release opened for my son. Having never left the floor at all. Standing the last 3 hours in front of the door where I could get him. Error on their end. Yes. Did they make that statement in the morning and call cps for leaving him there? YES could I fight it or not? No because their error led to a report from a staff member that said they were not aware of the incident the day prior and I willfully signed his release papers stating they had not held nor could be held liable for any further actions. I was 19, didn’t know or think that they could include a way for me not to file for wrongful accusations but they also didn’t give me a medication needed. Rhogam for rh- blood (my son is rh+) they have caused me to have 3 late term 26w, 28w &24w miscarriages (when blood begins mixing my body with severe systemic lupus and TTP - which requires platelet transfusions) I can’t even bring damages for that! I tried immediately after each time!

the thorough documentation is a common symptom of MBP

It's also the practice of family members who truly love those in their care. Dr, Feldman is an expert in MBP, he stated that it was doubtful that MBP was evident in this case because Maya did not immediately improve when they separated her from her mother.@@npc123x

@@npc123xnever heard that. Even if MBP was a factor, and I don’t believe it was, Maya’s condition has been confirmed and the treatment of her by the hospital has been ruled inappropriate.

@@npc123xif MBP was the diagnosis here, Maya would be well since her mother died over 5 years ago, yet Maya has gone on to receive confirmation of her disorder by several different doctors, spent YEARS in physical therapy to have regained as much function as she has, and still has bad days and lesions from her disease.

I agree

💯

that loom she gave the jury was priceless, humbled; and so sincere. thats the moment i teared up is when she made eye contact with the jury.

I'm sure she will in a few years, in the form of a few hundred of thousands of dollars or even a billion, which would still be a really small amount of her awards...

I saw this to. God bless them all

I wish I was strong like Maya and I wish Maya’s mother had been mine 😢

💕❤️

Oh, I think that they’re going to file charges against this lowlifes and they would win. They won this, so it will show that they’ll win that and they will finally be held accountable and listen to criminally and also they void her to her death so that would be murder. They say that they predicted this, but what they did to this family really it’s disgusting and it’s heartbreaking.

@@stacyhunt4783Exactly, this was probably the hardest part. They should be able to get whatever else they want with half the effort.

Probably statute of limitations run on the charges.

I think after seeing a 200 million damages payout hospitals will reassess themselves

@@esk2g statue of limitations is longer than mayas been alive, she has a case

A judge from a hearing with child protection placed a court order. Why didn't they call the judge to the witness stand.

@@toni3901 The judge didn't lie or exclude important evidence to obtain the order, the hospital did. If they didn't deceive the judge they would never have gotten the order. I expected blame to land on the judge or family services but that's not what the evidence showed. They really worked hard to wreck this family.

@abebuckingham8198 whatever you say. 🙄I think they had to deliver all the information to the judge because if you were listening, both sides had attorneys. People hear what they want. And many children will be hurt by this jury decision. I hope she doesn't become dependent on this drug. Then that's the jury, her lawyers fault. Cause Dr. Hanna was given her high doses. That's why she was sent to JHAC

Big payday. They will live a life of luxury and not care about others.

An insurance company will be paying the settlement. The hospital will learn nothing.

Let this be a warning to other hospitals to not mistreat patients and their families. This is only a good thing for patients going forward.

50Ms

Plus $221mill

so another $50M?

See Gilberti v FBI In Sarasota on all Judges on Water Supply Eugenics Case 2023 CA 04821 NC

Hospital will win appeal and never pay a dime. Appeal Court Judges always side with the companies/corporations/their well connected rich buddies.

The judge didn't allow Beata to hug Maya not the hospital.

​@@cnnothingburgerletsgobrand6381 How ironic of you to say, considering you've copied & pasted this very same reply twice already.

The 7th floor coven, to include Sally Smith and bedy should have charges brought

Many other families. Some have even been reported on and made statements about dealing with cathy beaty and sally smith. One case where they literally CAUSED permanent damage and disability to a child.

OMG i AGREE YES!

THEY ARE BOTH SICK! THOSE LADIES @@MrsGator7

I really really think that criminal they’re going to press charges

It makes me mad that Sally Smith is walking the streets.

It's an absolute horror what this hospital did to this family. Hopefully, this will send a clear message. It will never bring her mom back, but they deserve every penny.

What’s the documentary and then watch the trial you’ll see one is very biased.

Think for yourself while you start getting into it. Quicksand of the masses is strong stuff.

@@Kthb80 I've only watched the trial but it was pretty biased too. I was horrified to see how they lied and misled family services to destroy this family. It was heartbreaking.

Don’t blame the mom. Mental health to issues are real and clearly they aren’t thinking clearly when they take their life 😠

@@strawberryme08 BS lame excuse. She had the mental capacity to believe her life was not worth living without her children, but she chose to punish others for it. The only way her choice would be appropriate is if her children became deceased. Its our #1 job as parents to NEVER give up on our children and be there for them ALWAYS.
