Paris Hilton, a well-known celebrity and businesswoman, is heading to the US Senate to lobby senators to support the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. This proposed legislation seeks to increase scrutiny on the “troubled teen industry,” which has been criticized for alleged abuse and mistreatment of minors in residential programs. Hilton, who has been vocal about her own experiences of abuse and trauma at a similar institution when she was a teenager, is an advocate for the bill and hopes to use her platform to raise awareness and encourage lawmakers to take action. Her efforts to support this legislation are commendable, and it is hoped that her advocacy will lead to meaningful change in protecting vulnerable youth from harm.
