Commissioner Brown says inspectors went out Monday to double-check that children, in fact, are present at the daycares highlighted in Shirley's video. The federal Department of Homeland Security was also checking those businesses in Minneapolis.

She says a state inspector visited each of the daycares featured in Shirley's video within the last six months and that there were children present.

Brown confirmed that the daycares in Shirley's video have active licenses with the state and continue receiving payments.
