Troubling Treatment: Efforts are underway to reform teen behavioral programs
Chelsea Filer was 15 when her mother hired men to take her from her grandparents home to a teen treatment center in Ensenada, Mexico. Photo courtesy of Chelsea Filer.
Chelsea Filer grew up in San Diego, the daughter of a single mother who worked late nights at an advertising agency.
Filer was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a child, and without much supervision as a teenager, she stopped doing her homework and started hanging out with her older boyfriend. She often fought with her mother, who Filer says didn’t have the time to help her get back on track.
Some attendees brought signs to the meeting, and cheered or booed during the proceedings.

The vote was 3 to 1, with Directors Pete Morse, Roger Nyquist and Brad Wilson voting to fire Goff, and Director Michael Thomson voting no. Chairman Eric Aguinaga abstained.
Goff was not present at the meeting, at the request of the board.
Oregon State Senator Sara Gelser wrote a letter to the board in support of Goff, which Thomson wanted to read out loud. His request was denied.
In the letter, Gelser said she was concerned Goff is being blamed for the COVID-related difficulties the school district encountered. Gelser also mentioned criticism of Goff’s policies on inclusion and diversity.
