In a Facebook post, the worker who recorded the incident at the daycare in Mississippi and posted it on social media, said: "I'm just now getting the proof I needed to help get those people out of that daycare and away from those children...Once the cops go there, what are they going to do? Arrest without any proof. The cameras in that daycare do not record so there was no going back and checking." According to the Daily Mail, one of the workers denied the allegations and said that she was not a child abuser. Instead, she was asked to wear the mask and scare the young children by the teachers present at the center. In a Facebook video, she defended her actions and said: "But what you all didn’t see was after I had left the room, I took it off and I went back into the classroom… and I said, "CeeCee got the monster. It’s not coming back.’ And they would hug me. I’ve known those kids their whole life. It wasn’t meant to harm anybody and it wasn’t ill-intentioned." The Monroe County Sheriff's Office identified the workers in question as Sierra McCandless, Oci-Anna Kilburn, Jennifer Newman, Shyenne Shelton and Traci Hutson.
