Dr. Sally Smith Testimony | ‘Take Care of Maya’ Trial 

Cameron9643 YES indeed! Hopefully, they will all be reviewed! Any that the Bedy woman touched also.

The documentary showed many families this woman destroyed but no one could sue like the Kowalskis. They signed waivers of liability in hopes of getting their kids back & not having finances to take this hospital on. 😮 That’s why this case is so important, the amount of punitive damages will make the hospital change their ways.

1000%

@@noelc2or hide them better.

I have a feeling this will open up cases coming her way ..

Have you seen the detective who killed her exs wife. She reminds me of her 100percent

No, Beata was the sociopath. Whatever damage Ms Smith caused is dwarfed by the trauma Beata caused her children.

She killed herself and left her daughter who, according to Beata was dying to fend for herself and even committed her suicide in a spot where her son or husband would discover the body! Good riddance to that sick and confused woman.

@@Dana-jl2fvI truly hope you or anyone you care about ever finds themselves in the extremely dark and lonely spot people who commit suicide are in. Anyone who’s had ideations, or attempts understand. The woman had her child taken, was being called abusive, and it felt like if she stayed in the picture they’d never get Maya back. When you’re in that mind frame you’re not thinking everyone is going to be sad, you’re thinking everyone will be better off. Saying good riddance to a mother that was in extreme mental anguish is pretty sick.

Absolutely!

There is something seriously wrong about you

Google her name. She has a history of tearing families apart by lying bc she didn’t like the parents. Despite all that she remains employed which is why she sit up there smirking and smiling. I’ve spoken to people who have crossed her wrath and they say she is very power and dangerous and she knows it.

​@jlob5296 I'd be interested to see what a psych report on this woman would reveal. Her incessant need to remove so many children from their parents and loved ones is concerning to me. I think someone mentioned the number of children she removed from loved ones is 117! I'm a mother, so I'd never want to see children being left with abusive parents, etc, but judging by this woman's actions in Mia's case, I'm concerned that many other families were ripped apart unnecessarily by her, too! I wonder what her childhood was like? I genuinely believe that any person who finds it so easy to lie and rip families apart like she did, must either have some deep seated issues, or has some kind of god complex. I hope the family get the justice they deserve.

Something very cold about her. All the characteristics I would never want in a child doctor.

Whats wrong with her is that's she's put many innocent people in prison

No wonder why she gave her ‘resignation’! She probably was asked to leave ‘quietly’ & thereby resigning. Way too much power!!

Add never consulted with actual experts to evaluate MBP or CRPS before making a case against the mother to DCF.

​@QOGS and the only reason it was eventually stopped was because they were a family of some financial means already and the mom killed herself 😢 never forget there are doctors with this power who do such minimal looks at families and make accusations of abuse in every state and every decent size city in America 😢 the system has WAY too much power and having people who's jobs and financial security depends upon taking children will mean we will never see this end 😢 we have given over a large part of our juvenile justice system and children services to FOR PROFIT PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS 😢 even of they are considered non-profit like many hospitals that doesn't mean they don't profit from these things 😢

But billed insurance for cprs

CRPS

MY FATHER WAS PUT ON HOSPICE WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO TRACK THE PAYMENT HISTORY, CODING FOR HOSPICE, AUTHORIZATION CODE, AND HIS MEDICAL RECORDS WITH THINGS HE WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED WITH HE WAS STILL ON HOSPICE WHEN HE PASSED AWAY APRIL 10TH. HE WAS NOT TERMINALLY ILL, BUT HIS CARE WAS SABOTAGED AND LED TO HIS DECLINE. AMERICA IS A CESSPOOL FOR MEDICAL ABUSE AND FRAUD.

Because at the end of the day, it’s still business and hospitals are doing this on a daily basis. Not just in the US but in any country with the same insurance scheme. If they can get away with it why stop?

EXACTLY!!! Either Maya has CRPS or she doesn't!!! Can't have it both ways!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Insurance Fraud is the least of John Hopkins problems

Certainly one of the reasons, but I don't think it's the main reason. One of the bigger problems here is that so many parents are falsely accused of abuse and have their parental rights violated, which would naturally piss them off.

She has soulless eyes. Its eerie. Like a skinwalker.

i agree evil women

@@Jenahh-aye Agreed! I’m here to say “Can you imagine ONLY seeing those eyes above a mask??”

@@Grammichal makes me shudder to imagine. Especially for the little kids she "cares for".

Probably nobody loves her that’s why she is so evil. She lies and lies to destroy families!

This hospital should never be allowed to practice anywhere. Anyone that worked there should have to disclose that they worked on Maya's case before going anywhere else. They are all responsible for all of this.

They did!

They won tons and tons and tons of Pennie’s…

@@lukashood25$22 million approx .. Every cent 💯 deserved

**$222 million approx

You do understand you are falling for a red herring, right? No, of course not. She was required to gather MEDICAL evidence. The Kowolski family had FIVE lawyers for their dependency court case and they also presented their witnesses, including all of their quack doctors to the dependency court. It was up to the dependency judge, not Sally Smith to make a final determination of whether he thought HER investigation was credible or whether he thought the quacks were credible. That dependency hearing is NOT what this trial is about. That was a separate case and we know how that turned out, the judge did not believe the quacks. It is not one side of a court case to present evidence of the other side. They BOTH present their own side. Tell me, are you made at the quacks because they did not also present Sally Smith's side? Of course not. She had one opinion, they had another. And BOTH sides presented their side to the dependency court. That is how it works. People are obviously so emotionally wrapped up in Maya that you fall for every red herring argument Mr Anderson comes up with. The Kowolski family subsequently NEVER EVER EVER took Maya back to the quacks, so they can lie all they want for in the hopes of a big payday from the hospital. But WHY if Maya had CRPS and they believed in the quacks so much have then NEVER EVER taken her back for more of her ketamine. Which by the way is a highly abused drug because it's a psychedelic. Maya was addicted, which is why she came into the hospital screaming for her drugs. She was screaming for ketamine the way someone who is addicted screams for their drugs. She was victimized by her mother, who turned her into a drug addicted 10 year old. That ppor kid will never get over the psychological damage done to her by her own mother, and now her own father, suing everybody because his wife took her life because ultimately, she would likely have been facing a criminal investigation.

She is a doctor with a badge I mean a cop with a doctor’s license. She reports to the Sheriff’s Department not to any medical department or board.

My veterinarian would not sedate my dog without proper monitoring equipment and trained staff. Maya mom was monitoring her and her oxygen level went into the 70s and had to suction her throat so she wouldn’t stop breathing. That is terrible. She was given more ketamine than a horse would get.

She's responsible of everything that hairbrush she should go to jail, she's evil. Since I'm a woman of faith, at least I know where she's headed...

@@paulinarittscher215 hairbrush?

For real can't even fathom how many more are out there. This stuff happens all the time just rarely recognized.

Theres many many cases out there!!!

Evilness never pays off Sally

I agree - this woman is grotesquely power-drunk, indifferent to her obvious lack of knowledge re this disease (and apparently many others), and I suspect (imho) is about saving the hospitals etc money by accusing parents of “abuse” and unloading these children onto the state. She’s acting like she’s there for a coffee break instead of a case that destroyed this family’s life - she’s so smug and arrogant and indifferent and lacks any grace or dignity and keeps smirking at the jury and then blathers now and then “forgetting” if she was part of some decision (in which she clearly played a part). Grotesque.

IS SHE A MOTHER HERSELF? MAYBE NOT. DOES ANYONE KN OW.

Maybe it's related to her past. Her face reflects anger..

I wonder what her childhood was like.

She should be in prison.

What type of job is this? 👿

Where's the lie?

Between minute 107 and 108 she said she 'mispoke" about not atteneding a meeting when the meeting notes said she had.

@@theresanault5219 She corrected herself. It was seven years ago. That it?

@@PennyxXxDreadful she lied by not being an unbiased practitioner which she did quite often. Her decisions to take child from parents and no visits from Maya mom because she thought munchasen by proxie. Once the doctors contacted her that had diagnosed Maya with RSD NOWW CRPS and urged them to go to Mexico to get ketamine drug program. It was helpful to Maya……the next paediatrician talked with original doctor diagnosing CRPS due to her original doc not being on her insurance….. Even though the doctors who were treating Maya with ketamine stated she was on dose they wrote for….she..this power hungry person should have dropped all charges of muchasen by proxy. She didn’t but dug in deeper. That is malpractice and she should face medical board to have license suspended and only reasserted once she went through the classes, worked under a supervisor…and got down off her golden horse. She is dangerous because she thinks she is only authority…which is so wrong.

What’s her name again I’m going to look her up

Where?

I think that's why this lady thinks she has a leg to stand on ...because this was only her opinion ...she gives her opinion and then it's up to the courts once presented to do something or not unless she recants her opinion ...so basically the courts ,this woman and cps ruined these people's lives and continue to do so to other people as well....I think the courts looked at all this woman's experience and thought "well she must be right " and went from there ...again this was 1 woman's opinion and court system that caused this whole thing ...she's not ever held liable because it's an opinion so she can do whatever for whatever reason n go on with life even if it ruins another

@@lopez2011ism Its wild. Nobody should have that kind of power. It makes families wayyyyy too vulnerable to the system bc I'm sure the court takes CPS's side 100% of the time. Without a shred of evidence. I just can't wrap my brain around how this is our legal system.

​@@lopez2011ismthey love the power, hate the responsibility.

And sadly the problems will continue because the public wants to just blame whatever individuals they see, instead of recognizing the problem is with the system. A choice has to be made. Attempt to overly protect every child and get some false positives, or require greater evidence but allow some children to go home with abusers. It sucks, but I lean towards the latter and am willing to accept that. Most others lean towards the former, but want to clutch their pearls and point figures when the inevitable happens.

Sounds like your state’s CPS system is a for profit racket bc your governor and legislators stripped you of parental rights. You should be scared. They just privatized CPS in Texas and I thank God my children are grown up. I know this will happen in Texas too.

Such a twisted medical system

117 I believe from the netflix doc stats

@@jessicabishop8892 oh my God! That's shocking!

EXACTLY. !!!!!! HOW MANY MORE FAMILIES HAVE SUFFERED..

You should watch the documentary take care of Maya. It shows a few of the others she has done this too. There are over 100 she has reported.

Exactly. Why?.

Let’s hope jurors got this!!

She said "it's threading the needle" when he asked "so are you or are you not part of her treatment team".

She said she didn't give orders, but then the attorney has an email showing she is giving orders!

I thought the same thing! So scary…

Pure evil

I know nothing bout that lady or this case. This is the first id seen on it but I would guesse she is just bitter because she was never able to have her own kids.

Hmmm. I had the same impression. Signs of clear psychopathy. Psychopaths are draw to the medical field.

Absolutely, she doesn't want anyone questioning anything she says.

Agreed

A mom is usually the strongest one in the family for her sick child and wants some input to the treatment of her child and then this revenge against the mom and child happen.

Agree. I had a little boy who was removed from his parents 3 times in his first 2 years of life. It ripped my heart out every time they took him from me and sent him back to those drug addicted parents. In that time I would have to take him to meet for supervised visits and he just cry uncontrollably when he saw them. They finally severed the ties after this little boy tested positive for meth because he was absorbing it through his skin. These parents didn’t show up for visits and didn’t follow the instructions to get their child back. It was a nightmare.

That is because incompetent people are being hired

@@heralways3161 I don’t want to label them all incompetent. They definitely do good work more often than not but they are way under staffed which doesn’t allow them to put the time in to a case like they should. We really need some major changes to child protection services. They really need to listen to those close to that child and family and really give those interviews more weight then they do. A child screaming when they know they have to go with their abuser should be heavily weighed as well. So many families beg for the safety of a child from their abuser and the workers just won’t listen.

It'll come down to the insurance they can claim ... Follow the money!

Insurance - high paying, most likely to pay insurance plans, heck! firefighter and nurse combo - they must’ve been licking their lips/rubbing their hands i pure delight! Little did the poor folks know! follow the good old money folks. Money makes you a target for demonic entities like these.

absolutely

This needs to change.

Yep, her baseline behaviour shifts almost as immediately as Maya's attorney begins his questions. She becomes way more combative, change of tone, and increased dominant body language, as well as the obvious refusal to answer questions in a straight-forward way, sometimes being overtly obtuse or defiant. She's in her element when being combative, it's kind of a gross indication of who she really is.

The shake in her voice and the loss of breath made me want an inhaler.

@@MallyNCright??? I’d interpret that as nervous as to what she is being asked as well as trying to be careful as to what information she reveals.

Right her voice had waves 🤣🤣 when speaking , full of fear

Well, as a consultant she only gets paid if there is a case.

She was making money off every child she stated was being abused . So she was a tragedy pimp . She was clearly the one abusing the child, parents , system , government, the tax payers as well as the state of Florida . She needs her license revoked and criminals charges filed for recommendation to the court to imprison a child under false allegations.

MOST cases likely weren't abuse

​@@Rnnurse2023💯💯

When you're a highly paid hammer ... everything looks like a nail She'd see child abuse every time she saw a kid crying! Every case she's ever been involved in needs to be scrutinised!

I'm sorry but if they didn't try to protect the girl and they should've been, you'd be saying you can't believe they didn't protect her. Hindsight is 20/20 Its a fucked up situation all round.

@@xxx-gu7gp no vulgarity/profanity

@@xxx-gu7gp they didn’t need to ‘protect’ her by cutting all contact with her mother and confiscating all items sent by her family or by video taping her without her knowledge and trying to ‘catch her faking’ by moving her toilet out of reach.

The dependency court issued the shelter order. Then I imagine DCF set the parameters concerning Maya's no-contact with the mother. You should have been there in the dependency proceedings to advocate for the Kowalski's. Because evidently the judge sided with the hospital.

This isn’t the only case. More will follow. She was exposed years ago.

She was able to retire.....!!?!!?!@##

She maybe was given the choice to resign or to be let go

Even if they had discharged Maya, and called in a referral to cps ONCE, I’d back the hospital. It they didn’t, They called three times (after it was screened out twice) and persecuted this family.

They all feel they did nothing wrong. Proves what a narcissistic and disgusting group they are.

They traumatised those poor kids for life.

​@lynn2574 Is that in the video or can you link another video?

I think Tanya Harding should hire someone to have a nice chat with her.

She would scare the hell out of kids with he mean /angry face all the time.

​@@msc8663🎯😮

I've seen multiple videos of different parents telling the same story about this evil doctor. She has the highest rate of so called "abusive parents" of any doctor like her. She is seriously evil and disturbed. Should have her medical license revoked.

@@janelfont8874 amen!

I don’t think families have a choice. She inserts herself into the families and they can’t fight the system.

BINGO! Look, I know some details about this case and this woman that aren’t public yet. It comes down to jealousy & hate really. U described it perfectly actually. Criminals actually do commit crimes fairly often via proxy. In the streets & in more “white collar” ways too.

Interesting! I know there is something on netflix as well, but I don't have access but I hope that this isn't the last time she get's questioned. If she has had this as a career I really hope other victims comes forward and get the strenght to take her on. Do you think anything like that could come true based on your non public information?@@jillianmaloney3798

She's a narcissist.

yes without a doubt@@ThatRedhedd

seriously I bet this woman does not have kids of her own

Being given "privileges" means a doctor can access PHI as well as other licensed professionals who require "privileges" in the course of their work.

Not just that, but the child protective services were privatized and they get $ for cases.

@@pattismith6958 That’s what the last part of my comment was saying.

Well said!

A mix, it's highly likely she was asked to resign so they didn't have to 'ask her' to leave.

Yeah apparently she was about to be fired if she didn't resign so they gave her a choice to have a firing on her record or to resign

I just watched the movie two nights ago😭😭😭

She an expert liar

Yes they did have the authority based on Maya complaining about always having to lie and she’s tired of it. All without her parents not around. This case is going nowhere!

​@@leonadisabato2252they only had an obligation to put a notification in and then leave it to cps. No need to actively continue poking in her nose pushing for it harder .

​@@leonadisabato2252 Looks like it went somewhere..

​@leonadisabato2252 and where is your source that she claimed she was tired of lying? What the hell would a child suffering from CRPS have to lie about other than trying to downplay their pain so their parents aren't in a constant panic?

@@falseprophet1024 haha came here to say that too !!! 😂🤣🙏🙏

Jury will notice because they have been in every single detail and are looking deep

Her mask slipped after a while near the end though. She’s another Jodi Hildebrandt but she is going to keep getting away with it

Yes, completely

@@KarmaZeusBoishe is terrifying. Shes got an angry undercurrent, you can see it bubble to the surface occasionally. She doesn’t like her credibility or decisions questioned. She loves the control she has over people. Sociopath is right.

She’s got the dupers delight smile going. Look that one up. It’s totally her personality. She terrifies me. She’s the monster under your bed. Poor kids.

Of course not

She has a reason to access them.

She was a contracted service through the separate ment of child welfare.

Department of child welfare

@@brendab2946 A close relative who is an MD took patient files home & her brother stole the social, name & bday of her pts. She seen her briefcase was pried open. She called cops, and he was arrested for identity theft/fraud. She was disciplined for her actions. She wasn't going to lose her license for her brother's sin. They may be lenient to people in high trusting positions. I was just wondering if it would be a violation unless the guardian/pt gives consent.

The most ridiculous thing is that they found out the hospital billed the medical insurance of CRPS treatment. Yet they didn’t bother to help Maya’ mother to get back her custody of Maya

YES!!!!

I'm 68 and she scary the sh.. out of me. 😮 Someone like her should maybe better work in prisons not in so called child care. 🙁

​@wolke1955 Oh good god! Don't give her to the prison service either!! 😂 This woman should not be allowed to work with children, vulnerable adults, or animals!!

She is a danger to children and their families!!!! Psycho

very well said!

Unfortunately she is not the only doctor who has abused her license to do no harm. Why nothing happens to these doctors, million dollar question.

that was Cathy Bedy who settled, not Sally Smith. If Sally Smith had settled she wouldn't be here

Not true It was Sally Smith who settled the lawsuit. And Cathy Beady is testifying on Monday.

@@kylarobbins1829no, no it wasn’t. Sally Smith settled, not Bedy. Do a little research before correcting someone

@@kylarobbins1829Cathy Bedy is literally testifying tomorrow so that’s not even remotely true.

He should sue her too

He signed a "case plan" where he gave up his ability to hold the hospital (and others) liable.

I tried googling this info on this father! Where can I find it or his name? Because I heard he confronted this doctor at the court house and that’s why she ran late to this testimony.

He was in the netflix documentary. He might be in the credits.@@MortgageGirl7

Beata never met her.

@@asyablakeand?

@@asyablakeshe still made the decisions that ruined their lives. She didn’t have to meet to feel her evil wrath.

Ego maniac like so many others l have worked with over the years. Not worth their weight in salt either. 🤬

40 years here , I’ve seen them all , there’s definitely something about Sally Smith ego .

good catch and true.

Nurse x35! I agree.. wok in pain management, ICU, recovery.. she is scary!

Also like Jodi Arias.

Lol…I noticed this too. LOL

Jodi Arias 🤪

Hahahaha 😂

The first time she spoke towards them Amber Heard came to mind

Her agency, Suncoast, do the medical child abuse investigations for DCF as needed. Therefore, her job and her salary depend on DCF investigating med child abuse. If Smith let the natural order of things go, there would not have been child abuse case. DCF had already been called twice in 2 days by JHACH. DCF Screened OUT the calls because the ketamine was prescribed by doctors. Sally wanted to get paid, so she told Dr. Dees what to say to get a case opened. Third time was a charm. Suncoast then was asked to get involved and Sally officially began her "investigation!" Total conflict of interest!

I asked myself the same question. I truly believe this is a follow the money kind of case.

Awful witness for the hospital, justice for Maya and family

You mean answering yes/no questions that don't have yes/no answers by answering yes/no and then elaborating?

I wouldn't call it elaborating i would call it trying to convince everyone that everything that she did wrong wasn't wrong that's what she was doing very condescending as well

I think Tanya Harding knows somebody who could take care of this woman if you know what I mean.

My brother in law worked for cps here in az for about a year - he said it was horrible and the kids who needed the most help usually didn’t get it, while there were kids who didn’t even need intervention stuck in the system for way too long 😢

I caught this too! Her voice cracking etc, you can tell she’s nervous….she knows she’s guilty

in Florida this has been privatized

Well said! They are delighted to get their nasty claws on you and it just creates jobs for garbage like bedy/smith, sally; that blood money they “earned” hopefully follows the path it came from…nothing good comes out of blood money, the very food you buy with it is poisoned and laced with evil (not religious, but for the lack of a better term).
