Yes
Yes
Absolutely!!!
Yes 🙌🏻
Yes!!!
i hope this sends a clear message to other hospitals that they just can’t trample on peoples rights AND they WILL be legally and financially accountable!
Agree. This wasn’t just a win for the Kowalski family, this was a win for all families of sick children across our country. May Beata rest in peace knowing how many people she saved from living her same struggles. This poor, poor family 😢
@@thisaccount1537
No, it’s not the norm - but it happened in this case, and it DOES happen, so therefore they needed to be held responsible. Otherwise, we’d start seeing this a lot more!
@@thisaccount1537It’s not the norm depending on how many cases happen. We all know through the documentary and through news outlets that there are other cases that had to be settled in favor of that hospital and people related to it. People that may not had the means to sue but this family did and is setting a precedent.
true but let's not be naive and think that they won't make us, who pay insurance, be financially responsible.... I saw this quote somewhere recently and I thought this is apropos: "Our mistake is your responsibility".
Dreadful that they got away with it for so many years! A few ppl need to be behind bars. These were crimes against humanity.
Thank you jury. There is justice. May her Mother rest peacefully now.
Money can't chande the loss of their wonderful loving and beloved mother. And for their wonderful caring father. What a loss! I hope they will have the best future as individuals and as a family. Hugs and love from me! ❤
@@tunalunden6813it won’t but it’ll help. They’ve suffered tremendous debt since this.
@@NinjaFingers19and ultimately this is what her mother wanted, she wanted to bring this entire case to light publicly, she wanted the world to see what was happening to her family due to no fault of their own, and in the end she wanted maya to be taken care of. She is definitely somewhere smiling ❤
@@aypee9559it’s really amazing how many audio video and paper records she kept of this entire ordeal from the very start. Thankgod for her documentation and organization
There's no justice until these people serve time in prison for the crimes they committed against this family. Both CPS, and John's Hopkins. Last I checked, kidnapping and false imprisonment is a very serious felony.
catherine bedy and sally smith need to go to jail
They ABSOLUTELY DO!!! NEITHER OF THEM EXPRESSED ANY REMORSE in Their Vindictive Persecution of Betta and Mya. Sally Smith has destroyed many Families Lives. I do hope this is the Beginning of the End for her Medical License! She Is A Foul Human Being!!!
Yesssss it’s long overdue
Facts…can’t wait for their indictments
Amen
Agree
You did it Maya. You and your family, did it, and your tears flooded all of us who were hoping you would see justice, and we cry with you.
you know, deep down in your heart and brain, this verdict was 100% bs and everyone was brainwashed by biased documentary.
lets pretend the following.
Beata was able to successfully convince the hospital to give Maya the potentially lethal dose of ketamine that was requested.
The ketamine ends up killing Maya.
The Kowalski's end up suing the hospital for prescribing a lethal dose of ketamine.
in this pretend scenario, be honest, who would you back in the lawsuit, the Kowalski's or the hospital?
The standards you guys are holding the hospital to are unreal. Its literally a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation.
Plus, Maya getting off the Ketamine appears to have improved her life drastically.
Everything points to the hospital being correct and the Kowalski's being wrong.
This verdict is huge. Maybe all hospitals will remember this and “do no harm” as they say. The worst part is they can never bring her mother back. I’m so sorry Maya and family how you were treated. So uncalled for.
Our healthcare system is really broken!
I agree. Something very similar happened to my daughter and myself. I remember thinking that I didn’t want this to happen to anyone else. Good job, Maya! That took some courage!
The hospital tried to save Maya from abusive parents. That is NOT a crime, and abusive parents like the Kowalskis should NOT have been rewarded this way for their actions.
@@carolynsears1710 - yes it is... because BIG PHARMA OWNS THEM ALL.
@@thisaccount1537, Unfortunately. They will not recover ONE DIME from suing the Hospital. Laws are in place to protect the hospital from such verdicts and DONT need to pay that money to the family. This hospital is granted prosecutorial immunity under the screwed up medical law.
Now, that hospital needs to be investigated. This is NOT an isolated case. I'm sure there are more people who have been treated like this.
Facts!!!
Well yeah there are… I saw it in a doc
yes!! i saw it on the Netflix documentary...and I'm sure there are WAY more than that!! I'm so happy for this family...i feel so bad about their mom 😥 I'd NEVER send my child to that hospital!!
It's really bad here in Texas. Kids get hurt just being kids and the hospitals and state put them in foster care.
🎯 💯 Kathy Beady needs criminal charges now
Rest easy now Beata. Thank you to the jury for this verdict. She is beaming with pride I’m sure of it. Prayers to the entire Kowalski family
Amen! ❤
I hope she's rotting in hell, the abusive POS.
She's a devout Catholic. Catholics firmly believe that suicide is going against God and a mortal sin in which you go to Hell. According to her own religion and beliefs she is burning in Hell for eternity.
This verdict is a win for all families!!! This will hopefully put a spotlight on medical abuse from hospitals
Yes! Dr Sally Smith should be looked into a little more. She was allowed to do as much damage as possible w/out being held accountable while destroying so many lives. And for the hospital to not take care of patients accordingly is just shocking!
It's a major loss for victims of Munchausen Mommies.
@@wmdkitty That's what the mother had!!! I"ll say it again, Maya changed when her mother visited. Documented.
@@Khumzwishe needs to have her license revoked
It's not a win until these people serve serious prison time. Last I checked, kidnapping, child abuse, and false imprisonment are VERY serious felonies.
This is one of the most heartbreaking stories I have ever known. I m a mother and also Polish and I understood how Beata Kowalski took her own life to save her child. She was the most selfless mom. May she rest in peace and may her family regain their strength and heal from this ordeal. Sending love and strength. ❤
And she was right - not in the sense that she should have died, she absolutely should NOT have and she deserves to be with her family today - but she was right in the sense that not even a week after her death the hospital finally let Maya see a specialist that confirmed her diagnosis that her parents had told the hospital she had this entire time and she was finally released to her dad. They really were just waiting for her to dissapear in some shape or form. And through her sacrifice her daughter is now safe and at home where she belongs even if that means she cant be there.
I’m so glad the son will be compensated. He will NEVER get the picture out of his head of finding his mother in their home.
It was Beatas brother who found her. So sad
@@jayh2059no it was her husband who found her. He called Beatas brother when he found her.
@@marcopalazzo9349Watch it again mate, beata’s brother was hanging around the house till he went to the garage where he screamed the jacek’s name
@@giovannicarli6487 ohh I must have misheard it then.
@@jayh2059 yes but the little boy saw too. You can hear him crying and yelling in the 911 call
My heart just aches for these kids. You can see it all over their faces that they would trade every last cent just to have their mother back. God bless them and keep them. I hope new laws are passed because of this case. It took me 20 some years to get my correct diagnosis, and this really shines a light on how some doctors have become so nonchalant and judgemental of people simply looking for answers. Laws need to change. Protocols need to be in place at a goverment level on how to handle situations like these.
212 MIL!!!!! ache no more Honey.
Agreed!
Completely
That’s so true & exactly why all of that $$ is STILL not enough 😞 You can see poor Maya breaking every time she hears “yes” and when they discuss the $$ just really seems to take the time to calm herself rather than focusing on it
I'm so happy with this verdict. I hope institutions straighten out and respect people's rights. May God bless this family.
I cried with Maya and her brother. I'm sorry they had to loose their mother to reach a fair verdict. Your mom is heaven protecting you, Maya.
@sil
Absolutely terrible thing to have to deal with at her young age. I cannot imagine losing a mother at 17. She’s rich now and can do whatever she wants without having to work a job the rest of her life but she will never have her mother back.
@@linzhao2235 I don’t think it’s about money for Maya and her family. It’s about justice, what is right, is about educating hospitals and its staff that they don’t know it all and there are conditions and diseases that they are not aware at all.
They need to listen to the patients more and respect boundaries while being empathetic and professional.
It’s about listening and not treating people like we are easy cash to hospitals!
Maya is rich but that cost her mother’s life 🥺💔
i’m crying watching this 😢
@@linzhao2235
She lost her mother at the age of 11, not 17.
Poor mother & child were stripped of spending the last 3 months together that no amount of money will ever reverse. 😢
Oh, my heart grieves for this family. This child should not be going through this. There’s one thing I’ve learned in the past 70 years; there is no justice anymore, without suing. These children lost their mother. Whether she had a mental disorder, makes no difference. She took care of her children. Calling DEFAC on her; pushed her over! It would any parent! Thank you Lord for being them justice.
I’m happy about the verdict, but god I feel terrible for that girl, nothing can replace losing her mom like that.
These people breaking down and crying; made me cry. Children should never have to go through something like this. It damages them for life. The money can never replace what she lost.
Yes agreed. I think it was more about exposing them anything. This really exposes them, I would say!
Cry for what is a MoneyGram they're happy that's why they're crying.
I didn't believe anything they said.
I just hope Karma gets them.
She was just a dang monkey that had to sit there as the face of the issue.
Nothing but a Money Grab.
I'm glad my kids have got enough sense not to try to be greedy and take something from. People.
@@annafiorentin7120well hopefully your children will never have to experience what Maya did.
Me too. That got me 😢
@@annafiorentin7120
You’re WRONG! I just hope YOU or your loved ones never have a chronic pain condition or uncommon disease that the doctors disbelieve because then you’ll find out what it’s like.
Now make a Maya law and hold these drs and hospitals responsible!!!! Dont stop now!
Yes ! Great idea.
The jury 💯 got this one right thank God
Thrilling verdict! Im still crying. May God bless Maya, her family & her Mother in heaven.
I cried too, so sad nothing can bring their mother back
@@denisepelton5556 i farted
Same.
Their attorneys did a phenomenal job. Well done.
I agree, they did not have to do all of what they did to that child. Prayers for the family 🙏🏽
Jury has spoken loud and clear.
God Bless Maya, Kyle and Jack.
Beata can rest easy now Justice has been served for her family.
Hospital and staff put on NOTICE OF WHAT NOT TO DO. prayes Maya Kyle and Jack have a Blessed and happy future. Heartbreaking story. 💔🙏💔EVERY SINGLE ONE SHOULD HAVE MEDICAL LICENSE REVOKED NEVER TO PRACTICE AGAIN.
I agree ❤
my heart aches for the Kowalski family.... you can feel the indescribable pain that is now pouuring out of Maya, Kyle and also Jack... GUT WRENCHING to watch.... I hope and pray for this family's recovery and prace in the near future. Let this case be a constant reminder for hospitals in the USA to never repeat such atrocious mistakes ever again!!!
Prayers for Maya and her family.
I have been following this case from IRELAND and I am delighted with this verdict for the family, all the trauma and suffering they have had to endure and the loss of their Mother / Wife hopefully now they can move on with their lives, and may their Mother now Rest in eternal Peace🙏🙏 she will always look down on them from Heaven. And I hope that this Hospital changes the way they treat people, and seriously think before jumping to conclusions. Well done Kowalski family 👏👏👏👏. And to the Jury I commend you for your Verdict 👏👏
I Agree ❤
They will think twice before they do this to another family
They shouldn’t be given the chance to
The pain that poor Maya has had to go through, so glad that the verdict has gone this way and all the best wishes for the whole family’s future.
What future? Do you understand that such a trauma is a brain damage and the turmoil and ptsd will make her live in unspeakably horrid symptoms till the end of her life? It’s irreversible
This ultimately means that Dr Sally Smith must be looked into. All other cases she was involved in must be revisited. It’s shocking that one person had so much power to destroy so many people’s lives, especially children; yet she’s a paediatrician!!
Yes !
Yes absolutely PLUS her accomplice in this travesty -
CATHI BEDY - She needs to be locked up!
She NEVER entertained the possibility of another diagnosis.
Praise God!!!! finally some justice and healing for this family!
Thank you Beata, for recording everything for the safety, care and absolute love for your child.
I am so happy for the Kowalski family. They have suffered enough. They got everything they deserved today. It won’t bring her mother back but at least the hospital has to pay for leading Beata to her death and subjecting this family to a lifetime of heartache and the abuse they inflicted on an innocent sick little girl. Praise the Lord!! 🙏
You cannot ever give a mothers love back to them but I hope that getting justice and confirmation of it helps some.
Sad, but very necessary, that this “medical facility” gets hit in the pocketbook… HARD. It’s the only language they understand or care about. Job well done jury!! May the Kowalski’s continue to heal and move forward from this horrible tragedy 🙏❤❤❤
They should go out of business. And Florida should fix there medical system.
For all the other children this has been done to - I hope they get the same justice.
Thank you Jury! 100% Take care Maya! 💕🙏
I am so sorry for the loss of her mother, nothing will ever compensate that deep wound- but I am so grateful the jury found that way.
YES YES YES! I hope this brings some form of comfort for them. This family deserves every ounce of peace and healing after this evil nightmare.
Aw i just wanted to hug those kids. 😢 This is horrible. Some people are in healthcare for money only. This wasn't just mistreatment and harm on a patient, it became malignant and spread throughout the entire family.
I wish their father would have embraced his kids. They needed him in those 18 mins.
@@johnqpublic5350the dad was, he had his hand on Maya’s back. He couldn’t get up and hug them while she was reading the verdict.
I am so happy re this verdict and wish all of the best for the family! But there seems to be something going on between Maya and her dad, on her part anyway. I really hope that its temporary and just a regular father/ teenage daughter spat. All of this stress and pain has probably taken a toll as well! Their family life has been so painfully altered by the actions of this hospital. @@johnqpublic5350
I’m glad they didn’t give up by settling out of court and actually took it to trial. It’s so sad seeing them like this but satisfying to be able to hold the hospital accountable. Time to show the world what the hospital has done 😢
I hope this makes changes in ALL children's hospitals. Because John Hopkins definitely isn't the only one. I witnessed so much abuse of power at Pittsburgh Children's Hospital in the 90s when my step brother was fighting for his life with Leukemia. It's absolutely evil!
The hospital didn’t even bother offering a pre trial settlement. That’s how arrogant they were and are.
They have me crying. Bittersweet. I wish I could hug them. No-one deserves to be treated like they were. This will help countless families in the future.
It's about time people in positions of power and control must pay for the abuse they wield over us uneducated ignorant mere mortals and let's hope they have learnt to listen for a change and not dictate to their patients that they know exactly what is wrong with them
Maya, Kyle and Jack my heart breaks for you pain and tears of all that you have endured. Please Know that many of us around the world stood with you during this trial. Love from Canada❤
YES...she totally deserves it. It is such a sad case and my heart goes out to all especially to maya also her dad that lost her wife and the precious time with her daughter. To loose ur child to state and then to permanently loose his wife is such a tragedy. These dcf people should and the whole dcf system should be totally be reformed because there are too many cases like this has happened.
And Kyle who lost his mother.
This was devastating to watch even though they won. The win was obviously cathartic to them. After all the tragedy and all the gaslighting they were put through, no wonder the win caused the family to break down so hard. Finally some validation. 👍. Imagine what a relief it was ! And Beata was in the front of their minds.
Probably reliving all the pain & frustration & conflict they’ve gone through to get to this verdict
Jury got it right!!!
Justice was served. These jurors give me hope that there are still good, compassionate people in this world. ❤
I'm glad the family got confirmation and validation with this judgement. I hope that this case can get some things changed, within the system.. From personal experience with the system, that process can without a doubt push a person off the edge, even if they were no where near the edge in the beginning.
Congratulations Maya. So sorry for what you went through. Take the $ and try to rebuild your life in a better place ❤️❤️☮️
has her condition gone into remission? what was the total they were rewarded?
This verdict means a lot. It was the right one, but it'll never restore the trust lost in institutions put in place to protect us, especially children.
I'm happy for the whole family. Doesn't ease their pain and suffering. At least they got some sort of justice. Some of them at the hospital deserve jail time for what they put their family through
Absolutely - jail time is long overdue
@@marybryner5562 can't imagine how many other families they have done this to. Got away with it
@@joowusu727 i remember one of the uncovered texts from one of the doctors to another doctor after Beata’s death. Something along the lines of “i knew this would happen, it has happened in previous cases, WE DID THE RIGHT THING FOR THE CHILD” so driving her mother to suicide was THE RIGHT THING?? Horrible horrible people with no compassion.
@@bonnie_rabbit749 It just beggars belief, that ppl in their position can be so cold and heartless. The amount of pain and trauma they have caused that family and many many other families. You could see how many other families have been affected my medical professionals, in take care of Maya doc. That woman was so cold and nasty. How did she get a job in that position??
My God this is HUGE for those of us with EDS/MCAS/CRPS etc. THANK YOU MAYA AND FAMILY 🙏🏻
The jury got it right🎉
That's what the hospital and CPS get for their foul practices. God bless Maya and her family. I'm sure her mom is looking down on her from heaven watching this. They literally drove that woman to suicide.
Beata can now rest in peace ❤️🩹
This is NOT the norm behavior of hospitals! This verdict is huge because it does not happen this way usually. There are many many checks and balance in place and hospitals/Healthcare work EXTREMELY hard to do no harm. It is not in the nature of the employees in Healthcare largely and does NOT represent the majority of providers who are not only unlikely to do harm but would never ever do so and would stand with anyone who had harm done! Our Healthcare providers from techs / volunteers/nursing/ drs/ housekeeping/ ext are there for the right reasons! No one goes into Healthcare to harm people outright unless they are psychopaths. Amd if you think that represents the majority of Healthcare, you are mistaken
Clear message to this hospital that they really messed up. Good Jon by the jury
You can tell how much the lawyer has come to love the family. This is devastating beyond belief, prayers that they will heal.
Crying with relief. Thanks, good God. Bless her and this whole family, may they now that they have found justive finally also find healing and peace.
This is so sad as someone who’s life was saved at All Children’s Hospital in 1994 before the John Hopkins transition…. it is terrible what happened to this family and young girl. Shame on you JOHN HOPKINS! The medical care in Florida has gone so far downhill not just in this case but in general.
I agree with that. I was born and raised in Florida and I don't know what is going on. I do know the Doctor 's that I had growing up we're the best. But of course they have either pass away or they have retired. I noticed a lot of things have changed in Florida!! But I do believe they should keep a better eye on Hospitals and medical physicians. Not all Children are abuse, and I believe Child services show be investigated to, because they say that they are there to keep families together but that's a lie!! They should be Ashamed of themselves for what they have done!!! Maya God has sent his Angel's to watch over your family and your Mom Spirit is right there with you.🙏❤
JUSTICE served !!!
Medical kidnapping should be a new charge for drs.
They pushed that mother to take her own life. Absolutely disgusting.
So happy to see these comments positive toward this family. It has been shocking to see all the comments that lack compassion the past few week. I hope all those people watch this video to see the reactions of these children. The reactions they had were not in relation to the cash awards but to the validation that this horrible thing happened to them
you are so right!! It seems as tho Court Tv fans are way more empathetic than the other channel i was watching on TH-cam. I couldn't believe the harsh comments ppl were saying!!
Honestly i was shocked that the hospitals attitude was so strong to support cathy beady and sally smith like....was it worth it? To have this loss now? Just shows how arrogant and messed up that hospital is. They thought nothing would happen to them
This is a good wake up call. Happy for maya and her family!!😊
I pray for nothing but peace for this family. God bless them 🙏🏾
GOOD! In my opinion, they overdid it with this family. There are so many other children who are abused that don't get any help.
as one of those kids and is now an adult, i had dcf walk into our home, see we had no beds and still left us there closing the case...
So happy for Maya and her family 🩷 RIP Beata 🙏
Maya, your Mom was with you today as the jury saw through the hospital's lies.
You, your brother and your Dad did it! You have also put all hospitals on notice that they cannot get away with that kind of stuff. I will continue to pray for you and your family. You've just been given the life you Mother wanted for you. I cried along with you and I'm sure many others too. God Bless You and your family.
I cried with them from start to finish 😢 Justice is served... absolutely heartbreaking chain of events , pulls at your gut .. Hopefully they will move on from this indispicable tragedy as fast as they can and live again ❤ You can now Rest In Peace Beata 🙏❤️ Sending love from Australia 🦘
This is one incredibly strong family but all of this has taken a heavy toll in all of them and it STILL will not be easy to recover er from this. They will feel glad that Beata has gotten justice and read the situation right and others will see what an impossible situation she was in!
Thank you God. Hospitals please beware. This will most likely set a future precedent.
Good for you Maya and your family for having the courage and energy to fight this fight.
Johns Hopkins should be shut down RIGHT NOW...
I just so happen to watch this Documentary last night and finished it today. Just unbelievable what this family had to go through. I came here to say, thank you for fighting!! Thank you for your courage, your Momma would be so proud of you. This will not bring her back, no one should suffer this injustice. You are a beautiful family, I pray for healing as each day goes by. Maya Kowalski, Kyle and your strong Dad beside you. God bless and keep you always🌺
Thank God. I wish Maya love and peace going forward. Nothing can bring her mother back, but at least she has been validated. I am sorry to say that hospitals, many nurses, and doctors, for some reason, have the holier than thou mentality. I have seen horrific and gruel treatment in hospitals along with the manipulation of family members to make decisions the Dr or nurses want, whether or not it is in the best interest of the patient.
God Bless you Maya and your family.
Yes, yes, yes!!
Thank the lord, the jury got it right!!
Rest easy Baeta! ❤
The truth has been brought into the light!!
I hope this family can finally grieve the loss of their mother and wife!
Thank you Juror!! You got it right!!!!❤🎉😊
Justice requires that these “professionals” have their liberties stripped from them. Have there been criminal prosecutions?
Nope. I don’t think they’ve even been fired.
Money will never get back what they put them through!!
So happy for them. They fought so hard against those wicked people.
Vindication! My heart goes out to this family and the loss of the mother and wife.
THANK YOU MAYA AND YOUR FAMILY/TEAM YOU ARE A VOICE FOR SO MANY AND YOU PREVAILED TODAY BABYGIRL 🎉❤
Thank you jury for Justice!!!
Those DRS SHOULD GO GO JAIL JUST GIVING MONEY IS NOT JUSTICE
I hope this vedict greenlights criminal indictments for all involved in the torment of this family.
That poor family!! I hope those who are guilty get sent to prison...
Love, prayers and healing light to the whole family x
Just watched Netflix doc and I was crying, this poor family. I’m so sorry.
It won't bring her Mom back, but she's going to be able to get medical care she needs as her life goes forward.
They have waited so long. Rip mama ❤
now go arrest hospital administrators and staff involved.
I want to hug her so bad. You did it, girl. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Your mom is so proud.
I am glad you won Maya, so sad that you went through this. Your mom is smiling upon the 3 of you now. Please be happy. Xxx
So the insane power trip of the hospital has ended. Heartbreaking the trauma the Kowalskis had to go through 💔 This family will take the rest of their lives to heal but at least now they have the emotional and moral victory they so much deserved - a bit of justice in this world 🙏
Now go do great things Miss Maya ! ❤
Amen 🙌🏽
I cried through the entire verdict! Thank you jury for giving this family justice!
This jury sent one hell of a message!!! Woooooo!
I just watched the documentary and ran to google for an update. I’m so glad they got justice for Maya even though she cannot get her mother back
Me too 👏🏼
This is heartbreaking
Thank you Maya for defending other people who might have otherwise suffered what you went through!
JUSTICE! So proud of this young woman & family who fought for justice after suffering so terribly.
The boy has been holding that in a long time 😢
