The family of the Missouri girl who has been charged with beating 16-year-old Kaylee Gain into unconsciousness says she is the real victim and had been “bullied” before the caught-on-video assault.
The 15-year-old’s aunt told Daily Mail that her niece – described as an honor student at Hazelwood East High School — was defending herself during the viral March 8 fight in Spanish Lakes, Missouri.
The accused attacker’s loved ones are asking people to show “compassion” for the teen and they are seeking $150,000 in donations toward her legal defense.
The sickening video of the brawl showed Gain being repeatedly slammed on the pavement, leaving her with a life-threatening skull fracture, according to her family.
Nearly two weeks after the beating, Gain has yet to regain consciousness.
