Missouri AG wants teen girl who smashed other high schooler’s head into concrete charged as adult

Missouri’s attorney general wants the teenage girl seen slamming another high schooler’s head into the concrete to be charged as an adult — and hit with homicide charges if the critically injured victim dies.

“This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere. I am praying for the victim,” state AG Andrew Bailey wrote of the disturbing video.

“The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide,” he stated of the unidentified 15-year-old whose case is being held in juvenile court.

“I will do everything in my power to ensure the perpetrator is held fully accountable,” he added in another post.

Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe also said those involved in the beating “must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

“This culture of a complete disregard for human life is unacceptable and it does not represent who we are as Missourians,” he said in a statement to First Alert 4.

“Our prayers are with the victim, Kailee, for a full recovery.”

The unidentified 15-year-old girl is facing assault charges in the brutal beating outside Hazelwood High School that left another teenager — only identified as Kailee — in critical condition.

Her case is being handled by the juvenile court, according to St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell.

The teenage suspect was filmed hitting Kailee on a residential road, and pushing her to the ground, where she continued to punch her.

The victim can be seen trying to push her attacker away as the girl continues to pummel her while repeatedly calling her a “bitch.”

The attacker then straddles her victim and repeatedly smashes her head into the concrete road, as onlookers can be heard yelling, “Damn.”

Soon, Kailee can be seen lying motionless on the ground while others continue to fight around her.

When the camera eventually pans back around, Kailee appears to twitch.

By the time police arrived, officers found the girl suffering from a severe head injury, St. Louis County Police spokeswoman Vera Clay told Fox 2 Now. 

Kailee was taken to a local hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, the local news station reports.
