Maya Kowalski, the woman at the center of an explosive documentary, "Take Care of Maya," and her family allege that while Maya was being treated for severe pain at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHAC) when she was 10 years old in 2016, hospital staff falsely accused her mother, Beata Kowalski, of medical child abuse and failed to take Maya's illness seriously.
