St. Louis, Missouri – A teenager named Kaylee Gain is fighting for her life after a violent high school altercation. The accused in the incident claims to be the “real victim,” alleging that she was subjected to harassment and bullying before the altercation took place.
Gain, a 16-year-old student, was brutally attacked, sustaining severe head injuries that left her unconscious in the hospital. The accused’s family has launched a fundraising campaign seeking $150k to support her legal defense, emphasizing the need for compassion from the St. Louis Juvenile Court.
The accused’s aunt defended her niece, describing her as an honor student who was defending herself during the altercation that occurred on March 8. The disturbing video of the incident went viral on social media, showing Gain being repeatedly slammed onto the ground, resulting in a potentially life-threatening skull fracture.
Despite nearly two weeks passing since the assault, Gain remains unconscious, with doctors closely monitoring her condition. GoFundMe removed the fundraiser initiated by the accused’s family, which aimed to raise funds for her legal defense.
The accused, facing felony assault charges, is currently under the custody of the St. Louis Family Court, with a hearing scheduled for early April. Meanwhile, Gain’s parents seek justice for their daughter, who has sustained a fractured skull and brain injury, still awaiting her recovery.
The family has raised over $300,000 to cover Kaylee’s medical expenses, emphasizing the severity of her injuries and the challenges they face as they wait for her to regain consciousness. The situation remains complex, with legal proceedings and community reactions highlighting the need for awareness and support in addressing such incidents.
