Utah regulators have revoked the licence of a girls' boarding school where socialite Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager, citing 'severe safety failures' including unnecessary restraint, aggressive physical contact and instances of neglect. IBTimes UK has reviewed a binder of photographs and documents from the facility posted on Reddit that raises further questions about the school's practices.
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services revoked the licence of Provo Canyon School's Springville campus effective 6 July, ordering all services terminated by 6 August. The facility, described as an intensive psychiatric youth residential treatment centre for girls aged 12 to 18, has 15 days to request a hearing.
