The celebrity hotel heiress once known for her high-profile nightclub appearances has turned her attention to a much more staid venue: the California state Capitol. Paris Hilton is supporting Senate Bill 1043, authored by Sen. Shannon Grove and joint-authored by two Democratic lawmakers, which would require residential treatment facilities to report to parents and the state government when they use restraints or seclusion rooms in disciplining minors.
Provo Canyon was sold over two decades ago and, after Hilton went public with her story, declined to comment on any allegations about events that took place before new ownership. Some youth are sent to these treatment programs by their parents; others are foster kids ordered to attend by the courts.
