Kaylee Gain’s high school is refusing to hand over records to Attorney General after he said he wants to charge her attacker as an adult

Kaylee Gain’s high school has refused to turn over records to the Missouri attorney general after he said he wanted to charge her alleged attacker as an adult following a brutal school fight that left her fighting for her life.

It’s just another in a heated dispute between prosecutors and local school district officials, who say they are victims of intimidation tactics.

In an interview on Fox News, right-wing Attorney General Andrew Bailey spoke to host Laura Ingraham and claimed the brutality was the result of an obsession with woke DEI policies and the soft approach to justice under former St. Louis district attorney , Kim Gardner and current Rep. Cori Bush, a hardline progressive Democrat.

Gain, 16, was in a coma for two weeks after the March 8 assault at Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis, in which a teenage girl repeatedly hit her head against concrete.

After days of silence from the Hazelwood School District, a spokesperson claimed Bailey’s investigation was “based on lies” in an email obtained by Fox news.

In response, Bailey said the school district made “serious mistakes” over the incident and cited Chapter 610, which requires a public government agency to turn over documents and provide a letter describing why the requested documents were not shared.

“Rather than directing your anger at a date reference or engaging in ad hominem attacks, follow Missouri law and do so immediately,” Bailey said.

In an email written by Cindy Reeds Ownsby, an attorney for the school district, she said, “It is disappointing to have an attorney general who willfully disrespects public school district administrators and elected officials by sending error-filled correspondence to intimidate and threaten their leadership. .’

She added that the fight did not occur “in the middle of the school day,” as Bailey has argued that school personnel “would have been on the scene” if it occurred after hours, “half a mile from school grounds.”

He added that the district’s most shocking error involved the “unsupported allegations that race was a factor in the incident.”

Ownsby told Bailey that the requested data would be turned over on April 15 and acknowledged the Sunshine Law.

State law requires that state agency records be public and that a request cannot be ignored or avoided by the other party.

The attorney general said the investigation is intended to determine whether the school district violated the state’s human rights law.

The law “guarantees to all Missourians the right to be free from discrimination and the right to full use of places of public accommodation.”

It is not yet clear what started the fight, but Bailey accused Gain’s school of “promoting racial division” and “pushing a radical social agenda” at the expense of proper discipline.

Gain is currently fighting for her life at a local hospital where she is being treated for brain bleeds and swelling.

She suffered a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage in the brawl that was caught on camera near her high school.

a GoFundMe set up to help her family with medical costs, has raised more than $40,000 to date, with donations from around the world.

In an update on March 22, her father said Gain is breathing on his own and “remaining stable.”

A video of the incident circulated on social media and showed another girl slamming the teen’s head into the concrete after throwing multiple punches and throwing her to the ground.

Gain appeared to be having a fit as groups of other teens argued just a few feet away.

Police found the girl with serious head injuries near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive, about a five-minute walk from the high school campus.

A 15-year-old girl was arrested and charged with assault. Her identity has not been released because she is a minor.

It was revealed that Gain was suspended from school the day before the fight for fighting with another girl, who was friends with the teen now accused of 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 at 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 has hit back at calls to charge the student as an adult.

John O’Sullivan, director of communications for the St. Louis County Courts, told KSDK it is too early to determine whether the suspect will be tried as an adult.

He says a court hearing will take place within weeks.
