SUMMARY: Paris Hilton is supporting a West Virginia bill aimed at regulating residential adolescent programs to prevent abuse. The bill follows lawsuits filed against a Christian school in Harrison County in 2022, where children were allegedly mistreated. Hilton, a vocal advocate for youth facility reform after sharing her own abuse experiences in the 2020 documentary *This Is Paris*, has written to the House Health and Human Resources Committee in support. The bill, sponsored by Senator Laura Wakeim Chapman, seeks to ensure proper oversight and create a safer environment for vulnerable children. It is currently awaiting a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WCHS) — West Virginia Sen. Laura Wakim Chapman, R-Ohio, has been working with a nationwide organization to tackle problems she believes are important to young political leaders. One initiative has support from former reality TV star Paris Hilton.
