Doesn't matter who she is. She's absolutely right.

Paris Hilton, thank you for standing up for these voiceless babies. Thank you.

Respect to Paris for standing up against this. Her voice and influence are what the youth needs right now

If someone would have told me back in 2004 that Paris Hilton would someday become an important activist for abused youth I would have said they were crazy. She's become a very admirable person that's really educated herself on the hell these kids experience and uses her own trauma as fuel to speak up for them. I'm proud of her

[AnnoyedAF]

I'm so glad she's speaking up about this. She's 100% right.

Please continue to advocate for children's welfare, Paris!

it's quite rewarding to witness how Paris Hilton is utilizing her status to help change the country for an incredible amount of children. I admire her strength and resolute. Thank you.

This is so important.

A colleague had a quote on the wall, “The children who need love the most will always ask for it in the most unloving ways.”
Punishment is not the answer but support and respect.

I’m glad to see her using her notoriety to give a voice to these children. Well done Paris.

"Grew up" with Paris (in the media) and happy to see her growth and maturity. I did not know this sexual abuse happened to her by medical staff. So grateful she survived to be a wonderful woman and mother. You go girl.

And you know her parents sent her the most expensive and prestigeous facilities. Can you imagine where low income are subjected to.

Thank you Paris❤ I was one of those kids in that system. And God knows she is telling the truth.

Thank you Paris for using your platform protecting kids.

What a woman! A survivor, advocate, parent... Thank you for standing up for the children! <3

I’ve worked in the foster care system for 25 years. It’s gone from bad to worse. Thank you Paris for giving a voice to traumatized and forgotten children .

This is probably the best thing Paris has ever done 🎉

[rebeccadavenport]

Yes, expose it all. Save the children!

[rebeccafassett]

My son was a victim of this program. If you want to hear a horror story, what we went through was close to the worst. I've wanted to find a way to be heard and feel like our whole family was victimized. My son never deserved what happened to him. It is hard for me to think about it anymore but to feel any healing, my son's story needs to be shared with the world. They really did a number on him. On our whole family. Thank you for speaking out.😘
