Paris Hilton delights as Congress passes her ‘Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act’
Paris Hilton celebrates as Congress unanimously approves ‘Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act’
Paris Hilton is celebrating an important milestone after seeing her efforts shape into a Bill.
The hotel heiress, 43, took to Instagram with a 20-photo carousel post, featuring moments from her experience in getting the bill approved.
“Today is a day I will never forget,” the celebrity DJ began in her caption on Wednesday.
“After years of sharing my story and advocating on Capitol Hill, the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act has officially passed the U.S Congress,” Hilton announced in the post that began with her photo taken outside the landmark as she held up a poster with images of children.
“Children should not die in treatment,” her message read, advocating for health and safety, care, treatment and appropriate placement of youth in boarding schools, boot camps and other youth centers.
Hilton continued with her caption, adding, “This moment is proof that our voices matter, that speaking out can spark change, and that no child should ever endure the horrors of abuse in silence. I did this for the younger version of myself and the youth who were senselessly taken from us by the Troubled Teen Industry.”
Other pictures showed the socialite standing with members from her Trapped in Treatment podcast, a docu-style series where Hilton recalls her abuse at Provo Canyon School.
Hilton first opened up about her experience in her 2020 documentary, This Is Paris.
Her family also showed up in her support, as Hilton shared smiling photos of her husband, Carter Reum, along with their son, Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum, almost 2.
She and Reum are also parents to London Marilyn Hilton Reum, 1, who also arrived via surrogate in November 2023.
