The family of Kaylee Gain, a Missouri girl who was critically injured during a fight 10 days ago near a St. Louis high school, said Monday she has suffered a fractured skull and hasn’t regained consciousness.
“The full scope and extent of Kaylee’s injuries and prognosis for recovery cannot be determined until, with God’s grace, she regains consciousness,” attorney Bryan Kaemmerer, a spokesperson for Gain’s family, said in a statement.

The kids aren’t alright.
And who can blame them. The parents aren’t alright either.
Kids raising kids. That’s been a huge problem, and we went from to harsh of punishments and teacher power to the exact opposite, of no punishment and teachers with no ability to do anything.
Parental age has been steadily increasing for decades, it can’t be an explanation for things appearing to have got worse recently. What’s your reasoning?
While you are correct, the statement isn’t really about age, more so about people who aren’t really adults yet having kids. I know unfortunately plenty of people who still want to act like they’re in highschool/college and have kids. They still want the nightlife of staying out late drinking and partying while they have kids. I don’t know if it’s happening more than in the past but it sure does seem like it, especially with social media tossed in.
Yeah, that’s not happening more than in the past either
The one sense this generation of parents is more like high school kids is their earnings in relation to housing costs. Parents are working longer hours because they have no damn choice.
That is at least consistent with the known facts. But it’s still a hell of a leap to divine all that from one high school fight which turned out uglier than usual.
Are you saying the solution is to remove agency from the children and bring back harsh punishments?
What part of my post made you think that? All I said was that we went from one extreme to another.
