Washington AG Nick Brown addresses viral child care fraud complaints, DCYF outlines policy

In his first comments on the topic, Brown told KOMO News on Monday he was not aware of any documented fraud.

The allegations of fraud or is something we have to take seriously and make sure that there's no fraud there. If there is fraud, people should be held accountable for it. But what was really concerning was the level of harassment, sort of random vigilante people, at least showing up on people's doorsteps like that would make all of us scared. Some of the rhetoric around it, frankly, is racist, and sort of the hate that you've seen generated around that, and that's an area of concern to me as well.
