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.

A staffer at West Ridge Academy, a Utah facility for “troubled teens,” is facing a child abuse charge after prosecutors say he fractured a teen’s wrist during a restraint.
Tyler Haun Feinga, 21, was charged last week with the class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to a year in jail.
Charging records say Feinga told investigators he hurt the youth after the 15-year-old boy was “being loud and disruptive in class” on Jan. 4.
Feinga said he tried to put the youth in a hold, but he resisted. The staffer said he then put the boy in a “bent wrist procedure,” which was also described as a “gooseneck hold.” While Feinga allegedly applied pressure, the boy’s wrist popped and was fractured.
