St. Louis, Missouri – A teenage girl from St. Louis was recently the victim of a brutal attack captured in a viral video. The 16-year-old, identified as Kaylee, suffered a fractured skull and life-threatening brain swelling and bleeding after the assault on March 8 near Hazelwood East High School in Spanish Lake, Missouri. Despite the severity of her injuries, a recent update stated that Kaylee is now breathing on her own and remains in stable condition.
According to reports, a 15-year-old girl was arrested the day after the incident and is being held on assault charges by St. Louis County Family Court. The attack prompted Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to launch an investigation into the Hazelwood School District, focusing on their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs and their role in ensuring student safety.
Bailey expressed concern that the school district may have prioritized a political narrative over student safety, violating Missouri law in the process. The investigation seeks to understand how these programs and safety failures may have contributed to the violent attack on Kaylee.
The family’s attorney, Bryan Kaemmerer, initially reported that Kaylee had not regained consciousness following the assault. Despite the challenges she faces, the outpouring of support and prayers from the community has been a source of strength for her family during this difficult time.
As Kaylee continues her recovery, the community waits for answers and accountability in the wake of this disturbing incident. The investigation into the Hazelwood School District’s practices and policies underscores the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of all students in the face of escalating violence.
