One sided documentary

Warning: Spoilers
I'm extremely bothered by this one-sided documentary. Did Maya have CRPS? I'm not a physician but am bothered by how the parents initially treated it by going to a doctor who gave Maya high doses of Ketamine and then the parents going to Mexico. Why not go to elsewhere in the U. S. to seek treatment?

MPS is definitely a real phenomenon and there have been instances of a parent actually killing their child for sympathy. Pinellas County CPS was correct in taking this seriously and keeping the mother away while they continued to treat Maya. Did they go to far? Perhaps. However, I do believe the medical team thought they were making the right decision at that time. Was the mother responsible? Is that why she really killed herself when the Maya continued to improve?

Is it a coincidence that Maya recovered after my mother's death? Or was this really a case of MPS? I don't think we will ever know. Thankfully Maya appears to be doing well now.
