Viral Fraud Video Sparks Vandalism and Theft at Minneapolis Somali Day Care
A Minneapolis daycare was vandalized and had children's and employees' information stolen after a viral video falsely accused local daycares of fraud. The incident occurred after a YouTube influencer's video claimed widespread fraud among daycares, leading to vandalism at Nokomis Daycare Center, though investigations show the daycare is properly licensed and not involved in any fraud. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has responded by freezing child care funds for Minnesota pending an audit.
