Paris Hilton Urges Congress to Stop Institutional Child Abuse

She testified about being “force-fed medications and sexually abused” in a youth residential treatment facility as a teen.

While appearing in front of a congressional committee to urge lawmakers to enhance child welfare protections, Paris Hilton opened up about her experience being institutionalized as a teenager. She told Congress that her parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, were “deceived” and “manipulated” about “inhumane treatment” she was allegedly subjected to, and expressed concern that foster children and adoptees who don’t have people regularly checking in on them are in an even worse predicament. “Sometimes their families can’t afford to take care of them, and it’s heartbreaking that because of that reason, they’ll be taken away, locked into these facilities and be abused.”#parishilton#childwelfare#houseofrepresentatives#congress#cspan
