A viral video shows another teen repeatedly slamming Gain’s head into the pavement before the victim appears to suffer a seizure.

Video of the incident circulated on social media showing another girl slamming the teen’s head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches at her, sending her to the ground.

Kaylee appeared to begin having a seizure as groups of other teens fought a few feet away.

Police found the girl suffering from a serious head injury near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, just steps from the school.

After news of the altercation broke, the Hazelwood School District issued a statement condemning the violence within the community.

“It is a tragedy every time children are hurt,” the statement said. ‘Bullying and fighting in the community is a problem that we must all take responsibility for and work to find a solution for the sake of our children.

“The Hazelwood School District offers our deepest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those who need it.”

Kaylee’s family says they want “justice through the legal system,” but pleaded with other teens not to retaliate against her alleged attacker.

Her devastated relatives previously said they would not know the extent of her injuries until she wakes up in a statement through her lawyer.

Kaylee’s family says they want “justice through the legal system,” but pleaded with other teens not to retaliate against her alleged attacker.

They confirmed that Kaylee suffered “a skull fracture that caused bleeding and brain swelling” and, at the time, was still unconscious.

“While the family would like to eventually see justice served through the legal system, their attention at this time is devoted solely to Kaylee’s recovery,” her family said.

‘The family is also asking all members of the wider community to come together to report teenage violence and bullying as there have been too many recent examples of teenage violence resulting in significant injuries and even deaths in some cases.

‘Kaylee’s parents would like to make a special request to their fellow parents in the community, asking them to reinforce to their children that physical violence and bullying are never appropriate, and to emphasize to their children that the lives of both perpetrators of Victims of violence can be permanently and forever changed as a result of violent incidents that last only a few minutes.

“Lastly, the family would like to emphasize that they do not want any type of retaliation against anyone who was directly or indirectly involved in this incident.”

The statement ends by asking for prayers for Kaylee’s “full recovery” and hopes that “teenagers will realize that momentary violent actions can have life-altering consequences” when reading about the highly publicized attack.

A GoFundMe has been set up to cover Gain's medical expenses.

The family of the alleged attacker has responded to calls to charge the 15-year-old as an adult.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, her aunt confirmed that she was an honor roll student at Hazelwood East High School with an exemplary record and that she was “defending herself” during the fight with Kaylee.

The family has created a petition on Change.org, asking the St. Louis Juvenile Court to show “compassion” toward the schoolgirl, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Her aunt said Kaylee was not being bullied by her niece and urged people to donate to help with her legal bills as the situation was not exactly what it seemed.

The fundraiser, which was taken down by GoFundMe, said the teen was “unfairly” portrayed as a bully and that she is the victim “in a complicated situation.”

The girl has been charged with felony assault and is being held in St. Louis Family Court, with a hearing expected in early April.
