Laura G This documentary is egregious sensationalism. It does not merit the label “documentary.” None of the evidence pointing to Maya truly being a victim of medical child abuse was presented, and no education on what this form of abuse entails was presented. The filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves. They have put more children in harms way and have made the job of child protection much harder. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review CAROL R This is not unbiased journalism. How is it that in approximately a year, the child went from wheelchair bound and "likely to die" from CRPS, a non-fatal condition, to walking with crutches after receiving only physical therapy. What, loving, caring mother would kill herself at the time her child needed her most. If Beata was such a strong woman, why would she kill herself after being temporarily separated from one child when she had another young child at home who needed her. Seems like there is a lot more to this story. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Audience Member An engrossing documentary highlighting the battle between parents and hospitals whilst in this case the child suffers immeasurably. The lack of empathy is heart-breaking at times and we see just how brave Maya was during all of this and her awful CRPS and what she went through and still does today. Though it favours the victims without maybe just a touch more balance, the case was completely proven in the court ruling that followed. These stories need to be told. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Sasha B This documentary falls grossly short of the responsibility documentary filmmakers hold in presenting complex stories. Its one-sided portrayal risks perpetuating significant misconceptions about both this specific case and medical child abuse in general. The potential for this misinformation to negatively impact public understanding and, consequently, future victims, is deeply concerning. The film's apparent lack of care in its storytelling is troubling. Seeking additional, balanced information is crucial for those wanting a true understanding of the situation. A dialogue with the filmmakers about the film's impact, particularly on mandated reporters, would be valuable. The film's accuracy is seriously questionable, and the need for accountability should be considered.

This Netflix documentary tells the story of the Kowalski family from Florida. Maya Kowalski, the daughter of Jack Kowalski and Beata Kowalski, who was rushed in emergency to John Hopkins All Children's Hospital in 2016, where hospital management deliberately and medically abducted Maya and blamed her mother, Beata, of child abuse. The documentary sent shockwaves across the country and beyond for the distress and trauma experienced by the Kowalski family, who also lost Beata Kowalski, who committed suicide after being accused of child abuse and refused permission to visit her detained daughter for three months. The Kowalski family is now resolved to sue John Hopkins All Children's Hospital for causing them trauma and to prevent other families from going through the same ordeal. Jack and Maya proclaim to be fighting for Beata Kowalski, a fighter who never caved in to bogus accusations. The Kowalski family was awarded $261 million in punitive damages by the jury in early November 2023. However, as Maya Kowalski stated, no amount of money will bring her mother back.
