The family of a teenager, who was at the centre of the Netflix documentary Take Care of Maya, has been awarded millions of dollars of damages in a lawsuit brought against a hospital that wrongfully kept her from her relatives after the institution was found liable on multiple abuse charges.
Maya Kowalski, now 17, and her family sued the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and the Department of Children and Families for more than $200m when her mother took her own life after doctors at the hospital accused her of Munchausen-by-proxy.
