Take Care of Maya 2023

Heartbreaking, honest, devastating & eye opening.
SPOILERS: do not read unless you know the full story already.
I’m heartbroken for the entire family.
I feel the frustration & devastation every single mother would feel in those moments when your baby is hurting and they need you.
The raw honesty that is delivered by Maya (and her supporters, and her family- the other victims in this specific case). This young lady handles herself with poise & grace after the trauma the hospital & the authorities put her through. Her parents were good people. You can see it and hear it by the way she & her brother Kyle carry themselves.
My eyes are open. The his documentary will help so many families. It might not mend, repair, or replace, but my hope for them is to be able to say… “I never hurt my baby. You didn’t listen to us. You abused your power.”
Side note: Kyle… he is not a little side note. Remember, he loved his sister. Loved every night hearing her pain. She was taken away from her parents AND her brother. HIS family was destroyed too… he still had to go to school each day. He was there when they discovered his mother’s lifeless body. When the judge, the attorneys for that corrupt hospital, and that witch of a woman who decided it was abuse broke her with that last hug, he has suffered just as much as his sister & father.
I had a thought (as I’m sure many others did)… she wasn’t broken… she was pushed with great force to do the only thing she could to protect her daughter, get her out, and get her PROPER treatment. She knew if she was gone, Maya would be released. She knew her husband would get her proper care & do his best. She knew if she stayed, Maya would be left to suffer in isolation in that hospital until she died in severe pain. That doctor wrote her the letter with his opinion… I think the letter was nearly the final blow… the hug sealed it. She gave her life to end her daughters painful suffering.
She also began lifelong emotional suffering for her son, her husband, and her son in those same moments.
I’ve always said suicide is absolutely a mental health issue (and at times selfish)… this unique case stands out. Would I give my life to stop my child’s endless pain & false imprisonment? Yes. I would. I’d exhaust every option and take the final one. I’d do anything for my child. ANYTHING.

That hospital & every other one like it should be shut down until proper training and certifications are in place.

If I could speak to Maya, I’d tell her that her mother loved her so much she did what she felt was her only choice, her last I love you & goodbye was the terrible, horrible, sad act she committed that day. It was desperation to protect her from being abused any further by those people. I’d tell Maya she’s a good soul. She’s strong, but doesn’t have to be all the time. I hope Maya finds joy and happiness in life.
I wish the same for her dad and brother.
I also hope for justice. Not only
For them, but sir the wrongly accused. The dismissed and unheard. The children ripped away. The innocent parents in jail for decades. This was one the hardest documentaries I’ve ever pushed to get through… and I’m Jewish & I’ve watched holocaust documentaries.
This documentary what’s up buddy do you need mommy should be shown to everyone before they take a job where the weight of their decision rips families apart

It says I haven’t watch it, but I have. Not sure why it’s not registering.
