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.

If you recognise any of the details in these cropped images, Europol wants to hear from you
We are releasing today to the public a series of new Stop Child Abuse – Trace An Object images in an attempt to solve child sexual abuse cold cases.
All six pictures – a t-shirt, a wristband, a bag – have been cropped out of child sexual abuse footage from cases investigators have yet to solve – some of them months old, some years old – before being digitally enhanced and posted online.
Investigators are hoping that certain details in the images might serve as clues and that members of the public will recognise a detail which could down the line lead to a child being rescued from harm.
EUROPOL call for public help in finding child abusers with release of carefully-cropped images
EU law agency has published images from child abuse video footage

FRESH LEADS are needed in historic child abuse cases that EUROPOL are investigating.
The EU Law Enforcement Agency have published images in a hope that members of the public will recognise something from them and lead to the capture and detention of the perpetrators.
All six pictures have been carefully cropped from video footage of child sexual abuse that investigators have yet to solve.
The partial images have been digitally enhanced and posted online at https://www.europol.europa.eu/stopchildabuse
