Hilton-backed bill to combat youth center abuses passes House

The House passed legislation pushed by socialite Paris Hilton meant to help combat the kind of abuse at youth centers she herself endured as a teen, sending the measure to President Joe Biden’s desk.

The vote was 373 to 33.

“I was force-fed medications and sexually abused by the staff. I was violently restrained and dragged down hallways, stripped naked, and thrown into solitary confinement,” Hilton testified to Congress in 2023 of her own experiences at the type of schools covered by the legislation.

Hilton has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill for years in support of the legislation, the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act. It passed the Senate last week.
