Parents of Missouri teen severely injured in shocking school beatdown break their silence: ‘Remain hopeful’

The parents of the 15-year-old Missouri girl who was viciously beaten and left convulsing on the pavement last week said that they “remain hopeful” for a full recovery and thanked the public for the outpouring of support.

Kaylee Gain is still in critical condition and possibly suffering brain damage after her head was smashed into concrete during the sickening caught-on-camera brawl near Hazelwood East High School on Friday.

“We are so grateful for the amazing medical staff who have been working tirelessly to give her the best possible chance at a full recovery,” the girl’s parents wrote in a statement appended to a GoFundMe started by a relative.

“We know she has a very long road ahead of her but we remain hopeful. We are so overwhelmed by all the support and love,” they added.

As of Thursday morning, the fundraiser had raked in nearly $3,400 of its $10,000 goal.

A second GoFundMe started by a family friend had also raised over $100,000 after increasing its initial $40,000 goal.
