Andrea Dunlop：纪录片《Take Care of Maya》对Kowalski案的报道存在严重偏见，选择性地呈现证据，忽略了警探调查中的关键信息，例如Jack Kowalski与警探的完整对话、大量的社交媒体记录以及多位医疗专业人士的报告。纪录片断章取义，误导观众，未能客观呈现案件全貌。此外，纪录片制作方未能对关键信息的省略做出合理的解释，反而以保护Kowalski家人为由拒绝回应质疑。 Andrea Dunlop还指出，纪录片未能恰当权衡将医生描述为“错误指控家长”的风险，这种缺乏细致的描述会造成损害，降低医生举报儿童虐待的积极性。她认为，媒体应该在报道此类案件时更加谨慎，避免对医生和儿童福利机构造成不必要的负面影响。 Mike Weber：纪录片中对警探调查的呈现严重不足，只选取了对己方有利的片段，忽略了大量关键证据，例如社交媒体记录和医生的完整报告。警探在Beata死前不久获得了这些信息，这些信息可以帮助判断案件的真实性。此外，纪录片对Jack Kowalski与警探的对话进行了断章取义，忽略了大部分平和友好的部分，只展现了最具对抗性的片段，具有误导性。 Mike Weber还指出，纪录片将责任过多地归咎于Dr. Sally Smith，而忽略了她只是审核医疗记录的角色。他认为，纪录片对佛罗里达州的儿童保护系统进行了误导性描述，并对Jack Kowalski的被动行为模式进行了分析，认为这在医疗虐待案件中是常见的现象。
