'Take Care of Maya' trial: Hospital defends medical abuse allegations against mother who died by suicide
Fox News
Attorneys representing the family of Maya Kowalski and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida shared closing arguments Tuesday in a civil trial against the hospital.
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.

A court order removed Maya from the custody of her parents in 2016 after staff accused Beata of "medical abuse," and Beata took her own life in January 2017.
