I don’t even know what the case was over and I’m already rooting for the family.

I’m not familiar with this case.

I pray one day, every health system and and every University that mandated that vaccine is sued into oblivion.

This was the abuse of a mega-hospital, kidnapping a child, using DCF to accuse the parents of abuse, and the mother took her life to save her daughter

Here is the executive summary generated by Bard:
The court case "Take Care of Maya" was a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Kowalski family against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.

The lawsuit alleged that the hospital's actions led to the suicide of Beata Kowalski, Maya's mother, after Maya was kept in state custody at the hospital for 87 days while allegations of child abuse were being investigated.

The Kowalskis alleged that the hospital medically kidnapped Maya and battered her while in its care, and that the hospital's actions caused Beata Kowalski to suffer from severe emotional distress, which ultimately led to her suicide.

The hospital denied all of the Kowalskis' allegations, arguing that it acted in Maya's best interests and that Beata Kowalski's death was not caused by the hospital's actions.

After a six-week trial, the jury found in favor of the Kowalskis and awarded them $220 million in damages. The verdict was the largest of its kind in Florida history.

The executive summary of the court case would highlight the following key points:

The Kowalskis filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, alleging that the hospital's actions led to the suicide of Beata Kowalski, Maya's mother.

The Kowalskis alleged that the hospital medically kidnapped Maya and battered her while in its care, and that the hospital's actions caused Beata Kowalski to suffer from severe emotional distress, which ultimately led to her suicide.

The verdict was the largest of its kind in Florida history. The case of "Take Care of Maya" is a significant one, as it raises important questions about the balance between parental rights and child welfare. The case also highlights the potential for medical negligence and wrongful death lawsuits in cases where children are involved.

"Maya Kowalski's family is suing Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for $220 million, claiming its actions led family matriarch Beata Kowalski to take her own life. A judge ordered Maya to be sheltered at the medical facility under state custody while allegations of child abuse were investigated. The judge said Maya was not allowed to have physical contact with her mother. After 87 days without seeing her daughter, Beata Kowalski died by suicide. For eight weeks, jurors heard from the Kowalski's, doctors, nurses and experts. Jurors will ultimately have to decide whether what happened to the Kowalski family could have been prevented and if the hospital’s actions pushed Beata Kowalski to take her own life. The Kowalski family says the hospital medically kidnapped Maya and battered her while in its care."

As I understand the article, Maya was placed in the hospital for suspected child abuse, and her mother wasn't allowed to visit her. After 87 days, the mother committed suicide. The suit further alleges that while Maya was in the hospital she was battered. Lengthy article.

Why is Maya's family suing Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital?

I think we will be seeing more cases of medical abuse based upon medical fascism.

It’s an awful case where they kept the daughter imprisoned at the hospital and medical staff and never believed the family of what was happening to the daughter and their mistreatment of her, drove her mom to kill herself.

Jury did good.
