“Get down on the floor and lick that s—,” said one of the teenagers in the video. Lashaul was then allegedly forced to lick the bottom of one of the teenager’s shoes.
Adina Alaniz’s home cameras recorded the incident and she rushed outside to a sobbing Lashaul.
“Are you okay?” Alaniz said in the video as she rushed out to help Lashaul.
“I thought I had got out there fast enough to prevent it but turns out it had already happened,” said Alaniz. “Just from the beginning to the end, I can only imagine what he felt in that moment.”
Greenfield Union School District, in a statement, said the incident “involved one of their students” and that it had “initiated an investigation into the incident.”
