Kaylee Gain was suspended from school for fighting a day before being beaten into concrete

Missouri high school student Kaylee Gain was suspended from school for fighting  just a day before she was brutally beaten by another teen in a filmed brawl that went viral.

Gain, 16, was left her in a comma for two weeks after the beating near Hazelwood East High School in St Louis, which saw a teen girl beating her head repeatedly into concrete.

The day before the March 18 fight, Gain was suspended from school for fighting a different girl, who was friends with the teen now charged in the incident, as reported by The New York Post.

Gain and the girl, who remains in juvenile detention, were apparently members of warring friend groups in their high school. 

The accused girl's family previously told DailyMail.com that she is the real victim who was 'harassed and bullied' before the viral incident and hit back at calls to charge the 15-year-old girl as an adult.

Speaking to DailyMail.com the aunt of the girl arrested confirmed that she was an honor roll student at Hazelwood East High School with an exemplary record and was 'defending herself' during the fight with Kaylee.

The family has created a Change.org petition, calling on the St Louis Juvenile Court to show 'compassion' to the schoolgirl, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Her aunt said Kaylee was not being bullied by her niece and urged people to donate to help with her legal bills as the situation wasn't exactly what it seemed.

'If people want to donate, they should give it on the CashApp, not the petition,' she added.

'We set up a GoFundMe but it was taken down in hours, we have a lawyer. The family are all together and we will get through this.'

The fundraiser, which was removed by GoFundMe, said the teen was 'unfairly' painted as a bully and that she is the victim 'in a complicated situation.'

It raised nearly $3,000 before being taken down.

The page was set up on March 16, begging for help with her legal defense, as her family claim that they have been targeted with 'racist death threats'.

Kaylee's family say want 'justice through the legal system' – but pleaded with other teenagers not to retaliate against her alleged attacker

But the funds will now be returned to those who donated, with officials at GoFundMe confirming it removed the webpage hours after it was created.

In a statement to DailyMail.com a GoFundMe spokeswoman said: 'I can confirm the fundraiser was removed and all donors have been refunded.

'GoFundMe's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit fundraising for the legal defense of an alleged violent crime.'

But the girl's family says she 'deserves amnesty and a chance at forgiveness', adding that her 'fair trial hearing is being swayed'.

The unnamed girl has been charged with felony assault and is being held by St Louis Family Court, with a hearing expected in early April.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey warned the sickening attack against high schooler Kaylee Gain was a result of 'radical' DEI policies and a soft-touch approach to justice

The Change.org petition calls on the St Louis Juvenile Court to show 'compassion' to the schoolgirl, DailyMail.com can reveal.

So far more than 470 people have signed the plea, which claims the incident 'being used to define her character and incite racial divisions and political strife with the MO AG calling on the courts to charge her as an adult.'

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey previously warned the brutality was a result of an obsession with woke DEI policies and the soft-touch approach to justice under former St. Louis DA Kim Gardner and current Rep Cori Bush, a hardline progressive Democrat.

He also called for the girl to be charged as an adult if Kaylee does not survive the attack, something which supporters of her attacker have lashed out at.

Gain's family says it wants 'justice through the legal system' – but pleaded with other teenagers not to retaliate against her alleged attacker.

They confirmed Kaylee suffered 'a fractured skull that resulted in brain bleeding and swelling' and she still has not regained consciousness 10 days later.

'Although the family would like justice to eventually be served through the legal system, their focus at this time is dedicated exclusively to Kaylee's recovery', her family said in a statement through their lawyer.

'The family also asks all members of the community at large to come together to denounce teen violence and bullying as there have been far too many recent examples of teen violence that have resulted in significant injuries, and even deaths in some instances.

'Kaylee's parents want to make a special request to their fellow parents in the community to ask them to reinforce to their children that physical violence and bullying are never appropriate, and to emphasize to their children that lives of both the perpetrators of teen violence and the victims of violence can be permanently and forever changed as a result of violent incidents that last only a few minutes.

'Lastly, the family wants to emphasize that they do not want any retaliation of any kind to occur toward anyone that was either directly or indirectly involved in this incident.'

The statement ends by asking for prayers for Kaylee's 'full recovery' and hopes that 'teenagers realize that momentary violent actions can have life-altering consequences' through reading about the highly-publicized attack.

Video of the incident circulated on social media showing another girl bashing the teen's head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches and sending her careening to the ground.

Kaylee appeared to begin to have a seizure as groups of other teens brawled just feet away.

Police found the girl suffering from a serious head injury near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, roughly a five-minute walk from the high school campus. She was taken to the hospital and remains in critical condition.

After news of the altercation broke, the Hazelwood School District released a statement condemning violence within the community.

'It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt,' the statement read. 'Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children.

'The Hazelwood School District offers our sincerest condolences to everyone involved and will offer additional emotional support from our support and crisis team to those in need.'
