Paris Hilton to testify in support of California bill fighting ‘troubled teen’ industry

The socialite will travel to Sacramento next week to back legislation requiring youth centers to disclose more information about potential abuse.

Hilton, 43, has publicly shared her own background in what’s often described as the “troubled teen industry” and testified against it in Congress. In a recent Netflix documentary, “Hell Camp,” she recounted the emotional and physical abuse she experienced during her time at a Utah boarding school when she was 17.

Grove said after she watched a documentary about the out-of-state facilities, she looked into how California now handles its own vulnerable youth, and was troubled to discover that the Department of Social Services would not release information about the treatment of young residents in short-term residential centers.While in-state programs have a higher level of care than the former out-of-state options, Grove argues short-term facilities should be more transparent.
