Paris Hilton Lends Support to Families Who Filed Lawsuits Against Provo Canyon School
Hilton said 341 state investigations and delayed treatment show the school should be shut down.
- On Monday, Paris Hilton returned to Provo Canyon School in Utah to support two families filing lawsuits alleging medical neglect and malpractice at the behavioral treatment facility.
- Hilton, who previously attended the school as a teenager, cited 341 state investigations into the facility over a 5-year period to justify her call for permanent closure.
- One lawsuit alleges a 13-year-old boy suffered a brain bleed and fractured jaw without immediate medical intervention; another case involves a teen girl who developed acute renal failure after staff ignored her for nine days.
- Staci Bradley, business development director for PCS, stated the school maintains "comprehensive safety procedures," while state health officials' license conditions on the facility expire on Thursday.
- The Utah Office of Licensing retains the power to revoke the school's operating status, while Hilton continues her advocacy, having previously testified before Congress to pass protective laws in 15 other states.
