A Gofundme has been established for the north St. Louis County girl whose head was repeatedly slammed into a concrete street during a Friday fight near Hazelwood East high school.

The video of the assault has gone viral, prompting outrage from Missouri’s GOP attorney general and the St. Louis County Democratic prosecutor. The Gofundme says the girl, whose identified as Kaylee, was “left alone on the ground to convulse before EMT’s arrived on the scene.” It says the girl has suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage and that she has major brain bleeding and swelling.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has told 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri” that the 15-year-old suspect should be charged and tried as an adult and should be charged with murder, if the girl dies.
