The family of Kaylee Gain, a Missouri girl who was critically injured during a fight 10 days ago near a St. Louis high school, announced Friday she left the intensive care unit and has “been able to engage in limited verbal conversations.”
The family of Kaylee Gain, a Missouri girl who was critically injured during a fight 10 days ago near a St. Louis high school, announced Friday she left the intensive care unit and has “been able to engage in limited verbal conversations.” “Kaylee also recently began speech therapy, and has gone on a few short walks with the assistance of hospital staff as she is still unable to ambulate on her own,” attorney Bryan Kaemmerer, a spokesperson for Gain’s family, said in a statement. “However, Kaylee does not have any recollection of the altercation that led to her hospitalization.” Video shows the 16-year-old was punched during an altercation near Hazelwood East High School on March 8. Gain can be seen in the video getting thrown to the ground and punched in the head by another teen girl. The video also shows her getting her head slammed onto a concrete sidewalk multiple times. It’s not clear what led to the fight, and police have not publicly identified those involved. But the viral video is connected to the investigation, police spokesperson Vera Clay wrote in an email last week. Last week, the St. Louis County Police Department wrote in a Facebook post a 15-year-old girl suspect was arrested March 9 and was being held by St. Louis County Family Court on assault charges.
