Missouri Teen Suffered Brain Damage After Brawl, Family Starts GoFundMe

The Missouri teen who got her head slammed into the ground during a fight has suffered severe brain damage — and now, her family is asking for help.

The 15-year-old’s loved ones have started a GoFundMe for her, and they’ve revealed her name as Kaylee … with them noting that she’s battling for her life as she remains hospitalized in critical condition following last week’s incident.

According to the GFM — which is aiming to raise $100,000 to help cover her mounting medical costs — the brawl left Kaylee with major brain bleeding and swelling.

They also say she suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage as well — noting she’s just at the start of what they consider to be an uphill battle of recovery.

Her family doesn’t explicitly say it … but it sounds like she might not be conscious.

Remember, Kaylee was seen alone and convulsing on the ground as the scuffle continued to play out around her — which included several other teens throwing punches at one another. According to her family … EMTs eventually arrived on the scene and rushed Kaylee to a local hospital in St. Louis, but it seems like the damage might’ve already been done by then.

As we reported … the teen girl who assaulted Kaylee was arrested on a first-degree felony charge — but the case is currently being handled by the juvenile court system due to the perpetrator’s age.

However, we’ve learned she could be tried as an adult … depending on how a court hearing plays out in a couple weeks. If Kaylee’s condition worsens, it could spell bad news for the culprit in question too.
