Before viewing the videos in question, readers should be aware that they are disturbing and not suitable for viewing by children.

PASADENA – Two disturbing videos obtained by this newspaper offer an inside look at Pasadena-based boot camps.

The videos were created at least two years ago. One shows Kelvin “Sgt. Mac” McFarland forcing children to gorge themselves on water. The children in the video struggle to drink the water and several are seen vomiting as a result.

The second video shows a boy crying as he carries a truck tire around his neck. McFarland and three other boot camp instructors – at least one of whom was allegedly on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps at the time – can been seen screaming at the boy and coaxing him to say he “loves his sergeant.”

The boy falls to his knees in tears and for a time it appears that he too is going to vomit.
