Kaylee Gain, a 16-year-old student from St. Louis, Missouri, is now in stable condition and breathing on her own after being involved in a violent altercation near Hazelwood East High School on March 8. Gain suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage from the incident, which was captured on video and circulated on social media. Following the assault, she was admitted to the ICU but has since been moved out according to an update on a GoFundMe page established for her recovery. The page has raised over $380,000 for her and her family.

The 15-year-old girl involved in the fight with Gain has been arrested and charged with assault. Currently held in St. Louis Juvenile Court, there is a petition calling for her not to be charged as an adult. The Hazelwood School District has condemned the violence, and while the accused's family has defended her actions, suggesting self-defense, they have also urged teenagers not to retaliate.

In the wake of the attack, there has been public outcry, with some criticizing the school district's policies. Gain's family has highlighted her academic achievements, noting she had recently started college-level AP classes and has a history of being an honor roll student. The family has requested justice through the legal system, advocating against further violence or retaliation. A hearing for the accused is scheduled for early April.
