Spanish Lakes, Missouri – A teenage girl named Kaylee Gain is currently fighting for her life after a viral high school fight, with the accused now claiming to be the “real victim” of the incident. The accused alleges that she was subjected to harassment and bullying prior to the altercation, presenting herself as defending against the situation.
Daily Mail reported exclusively that the family of the teenager charged with assaulting 16-year-old Gain is seeking $150k in donations for her legal defense. They have initiated a Change.org petition, urging compassion from the St. Louis Juvenile Court toward the accused teen girl.
The aunt of the accused, describing her as an honor student at Hazelwood East High School, contends that her niece was acting in self-defense during the widely-publicized brawl on March 8 in Spanish Lakes, Missouri. She appeals for donations to cover legal fees, asserting that the circumstances were not as straightforward as they appear.
In a disturbing video that circulated on social media, Gain can be seen being repeatedly slammed onto the ground, resulting in a potentially fatal skull fracture. Doctors have reported that Gain remains unconscious nearly two weeks after the incident.
The fundraiser initiated for the accused on GoFundMe, claiming that she was unfairly portrayed and is a victim, was taken down by the platform. The family alleges receipt of racist death threats and managed to raise approximately $3,000 before the removal of the page, with assurances from GoFundMe that donors will be refunded.
The accused, facing felony assault charges, is currently in the custody of St. Louis Family Court, with a hearing scheduled for early April. Meanwhile, Kaylee’s parents, devastated by the situation, are advocating for justice but are urging restraint among other students against potential retaliation. They have raised over $300,000 to cover Kaylee’s medical expenses as she battles a fractured skull and brain injury.
