Paris Hilton Details Her Childhood Trauma In POWERFUL Testimony To Congress

Strength to you! God bless you for having the courage to be the voice for the voiceless

I saw Paris Hilton's documentary. I am sorry I had a biased view of her in the past. We never really know what is going on in a person's life. Thankyou Paris for sharing not only your harrowing story, but using your platform to help other kids. These "correction schools" and children's home must be brought into account and the abuse in such facilities must be stopped.

I am so proud of how much Paris has grown and accomplished over the years. She is doing a very good job to help those children 👍🏻🧡🤗

Good job, Paris ❤

😢 We really dont know what a person goes through.

Nobody has the right to hurt you at any age I am so proud of you God bless you and your family ❤

I saw her documentary and I couldn't stop crying. To some degree I know what Paris went through. When I was two I was removed from my parents home. After an argument a family member lied that my father abused me, I had a broken arm at the time which added to the stress of the situation It was like a match tossed into a tinder box. They fought hard to get me back but the damage is done and my family had therapy for years after. What she went through is undeniably the worst thing a parent could allow to happen to a child. My situation was unforseen and my family could only react but her family manufactured the most traumatizing experience a person could ever have. I'm deeply sorry it happened to her or anyone. It's madness and it has to stop.

I went to one of the places she went to! She is not lying at all this is common, those places are shady and should be illegal. So many terrible things I’ve personally witnessed.

So proud of you Paris. May you have an inner peace with what happened. Sending love❤

Very Sorry To Hear This, It Is All True. No Kids or or Elderly should be separated from Family Ever I am from India. We Don't Send Our Grandparents or Parents out of the House. We Keep them With Us

TY for your courage!!!!

😢beyond sad what children experience, and what she experienced. Beautiful to see how she’s using her platform.

Thank you for sharing...Holding space for you and sorry for what you went through.

I am reading comments where people are attacking Paris Hilton. I don't think that is productive in this forum. An "out of control" teenager does not mean she should be physically or sexually abused. Nor any other child. Children are at the mercy of the adults which is the point here. Unfortunately we rely heavily on celebrities to bring problems in our society to the forefront. I appreciate what she is trying to do. Attack the problem and allow her experience as well as others that she advocates for to be a conduit for change.

horrible 💔💔💔😭😭😭🙏🏻

Great work Paris!!!

Thankful she is bringing awareness around this issue. Her speech was flawless and you can feel her empathy and commitment in every word. Well done Paris 🦋 #stopinstitutionalchildabuse

Yes parents standing up for foster kids now look at you continuing with the fight I'm so glad she's in such a positive place and helping people around her now that she's a mom she sees how important it is even more and I'm so proud of her to see her continue to fight for change where it needs to happen the most I've always felt like she was such a sweet soul

Could not be more proud of Paris! I recently found out a friend grew up in a cult who used various sick methods to change her sexual orientation. They ended up sending her to a facility also when she was 16, where she was tied up and drugged and then raped. This was in South Africa. This problem is world wide though.

God I love Paris, always have. People wanna talk mad shit but she’s actually awsome in real life
