Media personality and fashion icon Paris Hilton is taking her advocacy against institutional child abuse to the California Capitol. Hilton — who alleged that she was a victim of sexual abuse as a teenager in the ‘90s at a boarding school in Utah — is sponsoring California Republican lawmaker Shannon Grove’s bill, the Accountability in Children’s Treatment , which seeks to provide more transparency for parents about the whereabouts of their children during their stay in troubled youth programs.
'The out-of-state programs would keep them sometimes 20 hours in isolation in an empty room,' Grove told Fox News Digital on Friday. 'We want to make sure that these kids don't cause harm to themselves or others, and that's what those specific places are supposed to be used for, but we want to make sure these kids aren't being traumatized or harmed as well.
