Summary
When Paris Hilton publicly revealed the abuse she says she endured at Provo Canyon School, it ignited a movement—and now, that school is closed. Journalist Maia Szalavitz joins Vanessa and Natalie to talk about how she exposed the industry’s hidden world in her landmark book, Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled-Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids. We talk to Maia about what Paris’s story changed, what it didn’t, and why the fight for accountability is far from over.
