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.”
