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

"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?

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.

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

The hospital saved the little girl’s life.
