    She’s been fighting for a lot of good causes since her peak in the mid-00s. Seems like she got what she wanted out of fame & is using the clout for good. I can dig it.

    Fantastic! I almost forgot what good news felt like.

    If you want to know the kind of shit that takes place in these facilities, as well as lose your faith in humanity, check out https://elan.school/. Fantastic retelling of Joe’s story through his artwork.

      I’ve read through his whole story and bought physical copies. The guy is an absolute beast and played a massive part in taking the school down. All props to Joe!

    I always felt Paris had a lot more going on that she let on. The act did make here a boatload of money and fame.

    Great to see the abuse stopped.

    Keep on them. The troubled teen industry is full of schools popping up, abusing kids, ruining lives, raking in cash, getting shutting down, no one at the top getting in trouble, and they rinse and repeat.

    Paris Hilton is 45. It’s disturbing it took this long for that place to lose its license.

      The troubled teen industry is big, that and conversion therapy, often one in the same. It seems like it will be a real growth industry.

    She added that no institution was too powerful to be held accountable: “When survivors refuse to stay silent, change is possible.”

    I guess she hasn’t heard of the pedo president

      It’s wild you feel the need to create a version of Hilton so detached from reality she is unaware of the entire political discourse for the last ten years, instead of ya know comprehending the literal meaning of the words she is saying.
