American businesswoman and reality TV star Paris Hilton called for greater federal oversight of youth care programs at a U.S. House of Representatives committee hearing on Wednesday, as she described her traumatic experience in youth care facilities.

Hilton, 43, the great-granddaughter of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton, has spoken publicly about the emotional and physical abuse she endured when she was placed in residential youth treatment facilities as a teen.

In remarks to the committee on Wednesday, she described being taken from her bed in the middle of the night at age 16 and transported across state lines to a residential facility, where she experienced physical and sexual abuse.

Hilton first described her experience at a Utah facility, which she said has left her with post-traumatic stress disorder that she continues to suffer from, in 2021, and has been a vocal advocate for greater oversight of the system.
