Maya Kowalski is the subject of the Netflix documentary "Take Care of Maya". The documentary tells the story of the Kowalski family and their daughter Maya, who was diagnosed with the rare pain disorder CPRS as a child. When Maya was nine years old, she began suffering from headaches, asthma attacks, painful lesions on her arms and legs, and severe cramping in her feet. Hospital staff grew suspicious and contacted child protective services, who removed Maya from the custody of her parents for three months until the court ordered a full psychological evaluation for Beata and had cleared her of any mental illness. The separation ultimately culminated in Beata Kowalski’s suicide in early 2017, according to plaintiffs attorney Greg Anderson. Maya was released back to the care of her family a week after Beata Kowalski’s suicide. The Kowalski family claims the actions of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital led Beata Kowalski to take her own life. The family is suing for $220 million. Maya still suffers from CRPS.
