She’s all grown up now! The “Stop Institutional Child Abuse Bill” advocated by entrepreneur Paris Hilton has passed and will be signed by Joe Biden. The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act aims to prevent institutional child abuse, neglect, and death1. It would provide increased oversight and data transparency for institutional youth programs by implementing urgent recommendations from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The bill would establish an interagency Federal Work Group on Youth Residential Programs to support and implement best practices regarding the health and safety, care, treatment, and appropriate placement of youth in youth residential programs. That’s hot!
