A St. Louis teenager who was viciously assaulted in a viral video is now showing signs of improvement, according to recent reports. The 16-year-old, identified as Kaylee, was brutally attacked near Hazelwood East High School in Spanish Lake, Missouri, resulting in a fractured skull and life-threatening brain swelling and bleeding on March 8.
As of Friday, Kaylee is breathing on her own and remains in stable condition. A recent update on her GoFundMe page shared the positive news that she has been moved out of the ICU. The family expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and prayers they have received during this challenging time.
Following the assault, a 15-year-old girl was arrested in connection with the incident and is facing assault charges. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into the Hazelwood School District, particularly focusing on the district's DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs and safety protocols.
Bailey expressed concern over the school district's alleged disregard for Missouri law and prioritization of political narratives over student safety. In a letter to Hazelwood School District Superintendent Dr. Nettie Collins-Hart, Bailey emphasized the need for transparency and accountability regarding the role of DEI programs and safety failures in the violent attack.
The investigation aims to uncover any lapses in the school district's policies and practices that may have contributed to the assault on Kaylee. The community awaits further updates on the investigation and hopes for justice to be served in this distressing incident.
