Kümmert euch um Maya

There's a condition that has left your daughter crippled, you find a physician, who alleviates the ripples, it's a treatment of extremes, but it generates the means, leaves you happy and relieved, a little tickled. Alas remission takes you to emergency, where ignorance and blindness costs some fee, as your world is ripped and shattered, leaves you pulled apart and tattered, as authorities command, mandate, decree. The result destroys the lives it should protect, and incompetence has led to great neglect, hurdles layered to inflict, increasing pain and more conflict, turns out there's many who have had their lives all wrecked.

Powerful and moving and somewhat concerning.

As a CRPS II sufferer of over 13 years now I could tell within the first few minutes this is what Maya was suffering from. Unfortunately it is very often misdiagnosed and completely misunderstood by so called medical 'professionals'.

My heart breaks for Maya & her family. As an adult this disease is excruciating and a very hard journey to navigate. Children should NEVER have to experience this condition. Her Mother was a protective warrior advocate! Things should never be this hard. This documentary is a sad but very real insight into a rare complex disease & condition and how sufferers & families are treated, dismissed & often worse, not just in the US, but around the world!

May this much needed documentary shed light on this condition & others and may this family find some justice. This family will forever be in my families hearts & thoughts going forward. We believe you Maya.

It's multi level $h!t show. From the laws, to CPS, to medical doctors,hospitals, to the courts and lawyers. And it's about money and power.

Beata didn't bow down and give the respect/worship that obviously some had felt entitled to. Don't ask questions. Don't act like you have a brain, don't respect your own voice and individual rights or powers. Know your place. These are all indoctrinated until we don't even know we are living with those chains on. Beata was a hero. As is every other parent you doesn't fold.

The policies and laws should not be governed by popular opinion. It got this way because 30-50 years ago child abuse was perhaps, too easily overlooked, but just like everything else..... things swung to the opposite extreme direction. What's even scarier, are people who REALLY think they are doing the right thing, not realizing they are being driven by any and everything but what is right ethically and morally. I hope this opens up some eyes and hearts, but that we don't go all crazy and swing crazy opposite again. When will we learn?

I suffer from CRPS.

I also have other medical issues that end me in the hospital. I have to explain to each doc that comes in what CRPS is. EACH TIME. Noone wants to believe you. You lose friends, relationships and family members. And most medical people think your lying or it's in your head.

This is why it's nickname is "The Suicide Disease.

I've never wanted to throw something at my tv so bad before. I feel for this family. Especially for Maya and the loss she has suffered. Stress can trigger a CRPS flare up. Just like the hurricane did.

The ignorance and arrogance of these doctors are unreal.

Great documentary.

This popped up on Netflix when I was looking for something to watch, other than the brief synopsis I didn't know anything more. I live in Australia and had not heard about this case.

Wow... to say I was furious by the end is an understatement. I understand that the safety of a child is always paramount but the hospital and doctors not taking responsibility for their part in what happened is disgusting. I don't know how they sleep at night.

I feel terrible for the Kowalski family and any family that has had to deal with what is obviously a flawed system.

As a race we have come so far, but as human beings we lack the compassion necessary to elevate ourselves to the next level. The society we have created is now out of control and it seems that money and power are our driver.
