Paris Hilton Visits the White House to Lobby Against ‘Troubled Teen Industry’
Breitbart ^ | May 10, 2022 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 05/10/2022 8:12:40 PM PDT by Morgana

Reality star Paris Hilton visited the White House Tuesday, as she continues advocating for laws to protect troubled children and teenagers in reform facilities.

Hilton was spotted by the media on the driveway of the White House during her visit.

She even thrilled reporters outside the White House, posing for pictures after her visit.

Hilton continues to advocate for new regulations for the “troubled teen” industry that she experienced as a young woman.

In October 2021, Hilton detailed in a Washington Post op-ed the “abuse” she experienced in four different “tough love” facilities where her parents sent her to reform her rebellious behavior.

“Congress and President Biden need to enact a basic federal ‘bill of rights’ for youths in congregate care,” she wrote. “Every child placed in these facilities should have a right to a safe, humane environment, free from threats and practices of solitary confinement, and physical or chemical restraint at the whim of staff.”

Is she arguing against the medical establishment working to enroll more kids in “gender dysphoria” programs and bogus “sex changes”?

No it has nothing to do with that. Kids who are sent to these programs may be sent for any reason. Some have trouble in school with academics, some it's just depression. With the IFB kids it could be any reason like the kids were found listening to rock music. Also you should know that there are both religious and secular schools out there. Paris was in a secular school.

I know somebody who sent their daughter away to one of those youth camps.

I never knew exactly why she was sent away. I never asked details, and they never said. But I can say, that their daughter alternates between shaving her head, and dying hair weird colors. I can say, she has lots of tattoos and a pierced nose. As an adult, she has continued to get tattoos and she apparently refuses to work. She lives with a guy who supports, perhaps enables, her to not have to do anything constructive with her life.

If someone is at their wits end with a rebellious teenager, I can see that they would send their child away to hopefully get their life turned around.

For my friends, their daughter seems to be an adult who never quite grew up.

If that boyfriend who supports her ever gets tired of her, then she will be in trouble all over again.

I always liked her. Like other posters have pointed out she has built her own empire. When I first saw The Simple Life, I admit to becoming hooked. When they thought Walmart sold walls, I about lost it. Great writing - whoever came up w/ their lines...

One of Roseanne Barrs daughters has written a book about being sent off to camps and schools for being such a rebellious teenager. If even part of her tale is true, thats deeply sad.
Apparently, she has forgiven her parents for most of it and allowed her own kids to have a relationship with Grandma Roseanne.

Do you know how many stories I’ve heard like that? Really I think it’s not she “refuses to work” she now has social anexiety, a lot of them develop that.

What industry? The tranny grooming industry? That’s all you see and hear now. Latest fad is be bi or gay and tell everyone you identify as a freak. Oh to go back to the goth and emo days lol.

I think it’s Rosie O’donnel not Roseann Barr.
