Kaylee Gain (pictured) suffered a fractured skull and frontal lobe damage when her head was repeatedly smashed against the ground during a fight near her St. Louis high school.
Kaylee was brutally beaten by another teenager (pictured) last week. She is “fighting hard to stay alive” after suffering brain damage in the horrific attack.
The 16-year-old girl suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage during a violent fight filmed near her Saint-Louis high school on March 8.
In a devastating statement released by their lawyer, Kaylee’s loved ones said they would not know the extent of her injuries until she woke up.
The family added they want “justice through the legal system” – but pleaded with other teens not to retaliate against the girl who attacked Kaylee.
They confirmed that Kaylee suffered “a fractured skull which led to bleeding and swelling of the brain” and that she still had not regained consciousness 10 days later.
