The family of the Missouri teen who suffered severe brain injuries after being attacked has said that a part of her skull has been removed to help with recovery.
Kaylee Gain, 16, from St. Louis, was left in a life-threatening condition by Maurnice DeClue, 15, who allegedly smashed her head into concrete during a violent altercation.
Kaylee suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage during the violent March 8 brawl that was caught on camera near her high school but has since been released from the intensive care unit.
Clint and Jaime Gain, the victim's parents have shared an update about her health and said she is now at home, after her long hospitalization and two weeks at in-patient rehabilitation facility but still has 'a long road ahead.'
On her GoFundMe page, the family's attorney revealed that a part of the teen's skull had to be removed to 'relieve the pressure on her brain' and she now needs to 'wear a custom helmet.'
'While hospitalized, Kaylee underwent a craniectomy, which is a neurosurgical procedure that involved removing a portion of Kaylee’s skull in order to relieve the pressure on her brain.
'The portion of Kaylee’s skull that was removed still has not been put back in place. Ever since Kaylee underwent this procedure it has been necessary for her to wear a custom helmet in order to protect her brain in the event of a fall.
'Kaylee is scheduled to undergo an additional surgery to reattach this portion of her skull which will require yet another hospitalization,' attorney Bryan M. Kaemmerer wrote.
Her family also said that the young teen has been experiencing short-term memory loss and will be undergoing extensive neuropsychological testing to determine the long-term impact of her injuries on her cognitive function.

YET...they are wondering if the other student should be tried as an adult? There are countries in this world where that kid would have been taken out in the street and beaten without a trial. Just saying.
It was the fault of white privilege which is responsible.
hate crime
Chilling.
Intensely triggering of rage in me.
No need to ask where’s the outrage with me.
Prayers up for her.
Kaylee unfortunately doesn’t remember what happened. Just like Reginald Denny (1992 L.A. Riots) who became brain-damaged.
DeClue is a rabid animal that needs to be caged for a long time.
Fat black savage b1tch did this.
Everyone involved would be executed, if I had my way.
Yeah, hard to see what happened in the video.
Kaylee becoming "diverse."
Kaylee after being culturally enriched.
Really, there is nothing left to say.
.
White mans fault.
For many public schools, time to withdraw your kids.
This ghettopotamus nearly killed this girl— over who knows what but certainly racial jealousy. The thugette needs to be tried as an adult. What, for example, is this thug doing everyday right now— going to the same school as if nothing happened. No consequences? No freaking way this should be glossed over. The parents are naive to think anything else. They are scared, perhaps by these tribal animali.
I don’t disagree with your view.
Another story says the a school security guard said Gain was a bully and threw the first punch. We will see. Bad deal all around.
I saw that and was going to post it later. I call bs on that too. we have all seen the video. Gain was just standing there before she was attacked. She did not throw any punches.
And they want to charge the perp as a youth?
D.a. Could use a good tar and feathering or maybe a keel hauling.
Horrific
That pretty white girl is everything that Black beast isn’t. No different than Satan who wanted what Christ had. It’s called projection. The beast projected all her hate on the very object she desired to be.
She should get death.
