1:38:33Now PlayingThe Take Care of Maya legal case centers on Maya Kowalski, a minor diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), whose family faced allegations of medical child abuse (Munchausen syndrome by proxy) by Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in 2016. Hospital staff suspected Maya’s mother, Beata Kowalski, of exaggerating symptoms and pursuing unnecessary treatments, including high-dose ketamine therapy. This led to protective custody removal of Maya under Florida’s child welfare laws, isolating her from her family for 87 days. Beata, a nurse, died by suicide amid the custody battle, intensifying scrutiny of the hospital’s medical malpractice claims and child protective services’ protocols.
The subsequent wrongful death lawsuit and civil trial saw the Kowalski family alleging emotional distress, battery, and false imprisonment by the hospital, arguing systemic overreach and failure to diagnose CRPS. Johns Hopkins defended its actions as legally mandated under mandatory reporting statutes, but a jury awarded the family $261 million in damages, citing gross negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The case ignited debates over parental rights, medical gaslighting, and institutional accountability, with issues including CRPS diagnosis, ketamine therapy, child abuse allegations, custody battles, and hospital liability.
