BAKERSFIELD, Calif. ( KGET ) — Two California teenagers were arrested after allegedly bullying a middle school student in a video that’s been circulating on social media.
The video shows the teens and the victim, identified by his family as Carter Lashaul, standing in a driveway in a Bakersfield neighborhood on Monday, Aug. 26.
“Get down on the floor and lick that (expletive),” one of the teens said in the video. Lashaul was then allegedly forced to lick the bottom of one of their shoes.

Adina Alaniz, whose home security cameras recorded the incident, rushed outside to help Lashaul as he sobbed. “Are you okay?” she asked him in the video.
Alaniz told Nexstar’s KGET that by the time she ran outside, the incident was over.
“I thought I had got out there fast enough to prevent it, but turns out it had already happened,” she said. “I can only imagine what he felt in that moment.”
Lashaul’s grandmother, Bobbie Moorehead, said that her grandson will no longer walk home.
