A series of social media videos released in recent days by independent journalist Nick Shirley has focused scrutiny on Minnesota’s taxpayer funded child care assistance programs.

The videos allege widespread fraud involving empty child care facilities that have collectively received tens of millions in taxpayer dollars.

But potential fraud surrounding Somali-owned day care centers dates back years.

In the new videos, Shirley is accompanied by a longtime local investigator identified as David – who says he has monitored these sites for years noticing no children (but sometimes adults outside smoking).

Shirley and David visit several Minneapolis daycare centers during business hours, finding locked doors, blacked-out windows, and no signs of children despite licenses for dozens or even hundreds of kids.

The investigation comes as federal prosecutors describe “industrial-scale” fraud across Minnesota’s social services, potentially exceeding $1 billion, much of it linked to the state’s large Somali community.

At the center of the allegations are funds from the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP). This is a mix of federal and state taxpayer money designed to help low-income families.

Shirley claims his team documented over $110 million in questionable payments in a single day of visits.

David, who says has faced threats including a stabbing during his own prior inquiries, told Shirley he began suspecting fraud after repeatedly driving by these locations and seeing no activity.

“I would drive by these childcare centers in the middle of the day and there were never any kids there,” he said in one video. “That’s when I started asking, where are these children?”

You guys do see that this is very well organized nonprofit fraud right? It’s widespread, systemic, they are trained on the details of grants and government programs.

This isn’t something dumb 2digit iq immigrants figure out. This is government connected NGOs bringing rapefugees and putting them on government UBI in form of 100% subsidized business.

LOL at Google trying to run cover for the learing center.

I call bullshit on the archaic "Lear".

That's like calling a Lear jet a school bus.

Most of these titular spelling 'errors' are intentional, to make it look like there is some kind of plausible deniability when the gig is up.

Bolshie Frankist Soros Fecal Impaction, set up to take Timmy's ludicrous lying show over when Timmy is out. Let's get some real Stalin into the KommieKunt act.
