Description

Paris Hilton is one of the many people who are coming forward with claims of abuse they experienced as children and teens at residential "schools" and "treatment programs" in Utah. These allegations of abuse are widespread and very upsetting, but they may be leading to reform in some areas. We can only hope that the information coming to light will result in the introduction of laws that support a kind and humane approach to helping minors who may need it. This episode is a discussion of Paris Hilton's personal story, as well as those of others who have come out in support of major reforms to these institutions. We also go over the possible reasons that Utah has created a vast "Troubled Teen Industry" that brings in millions of dollars every year. To learn more, please watch "This is Paris," on YouTube.
