Story summary
  • Utah regulators revoked Provo Canyon School’s license and ordered the facility to close by August 6.
  • The revocation cited restraints, neglect of care, and followed May’s temporary restrictions after staff did not seek immediate medical care for a seriously injured student.
  • Paris Hilton’s June testimony spurred new teen-protection laws in Utah and fifteen other states, returned to support families filing lawsuits, and prompted the new owners to decline comment on past abuse.
