Paris Hilton Celebrates Provo Canyon School’s Shutdown After Abuse Allegations

Paris Hilton cheered the end of a long fight after Utah health officials revoked Provo Canyon School’s Springville campus license, citing health and safety violations, failure to report critical incidents, and aggressive physical contact. The school must cease operations by August 6, and its owners may not reapply for five years while the state monitors displaced students. Hilton has long spoken out about abuse at the facility, marking what she calls a hard-fought victory for survivors.

When Care Becomes Risk: Inside the Troubled-Teen Industry

A CBS News investigation examines the troubled teen industry, focusing on CALO in Missouri where families allege abuse and lawsuits, police records show hundreds of calls, and former staff have been convicted; with heavy public and private funding and minimal federal oversight, advocates call for a national database, standardized licensing, and a federal bill of rights, while some youths credit treatment with saving lives but note the high cost and uneven quality.

The Lucrative Rise of Troubled Teen Treatment Industry

The troubled teen industry in the United States, including reform camps and treatment centers, is a billion-dollar industry that faces allegations of abuse and trauma. These programs, aimed at addressing behavioral issues in teenagers, have been criticized for their ineffectiveness and the high rates of abuse experienced by participants. The industry remains poorly regulated due to inconsistent state and federal laws, and advocates continue to push for more federal oversight and regulation to protect the well-being of teenagers in these facilities.

Wyoming Ranch Escapes Inspections Despite Child Abuse and Unsanitary Conditions

Triangle Cross Ranch, a Wyoming facility accused of child abuse and unsanitary conditions, lost its license earlier this year. However, it has found a way to continue operating without inspections by claiming to be a ranch for youth under the owner's guardianship. The facility, now known as Sunlight Mountain Boys Ranch, offers services for children with behavioral issues but is not subject to federal oversight or regulations. Advocates are alarmed by this development, as the troubled teen industry remains largely unregulated. State officials will now only investigate specific allegations or complaints, leaving the welfare of children at the ranch in question.
