Minnesota Daycare Director Responds to Fraud Allegations in YouTube Video
On December 16, 2025, a viral video by YouTuber Nick Shirley claimed that several Minnesota daycares, including ABC Learning Center, were empty despite receiving government funding. This video has sparked controversy, as security footage showed children present at the ABC Learning Center and other daycare facilities. State records show that most of the daycares mentioned in the video have active licenses and have been inspected within the last six months, with some facing citations related to safety and training. In response to the allegations of fraud, the Department of Health and Human Services has frozen federal child care funding for Minnesota.
