Minnesota government says 'Quality Learing Center' at center of Somali fraud exposé is closed as it's all of a sudden full of kids

The now-infamous "Quality Learing Center" which was made famous after an expose from independent reporter Nick Shirley is now reportedly shut down—however on Monday it was overrun with children.

According to the New York Post, the scene at the daycare center was bustling with children on Monday a few days after Shirley's expose on alleged fraud taking place in Minnesota within the Somali community. At the time of Shirley's report, there were no children in sight at the facility which had a now-infamous typo in the word "Learning" on its sign.

At the same time, the Minnnesota Star Tribune has reported that the center was shut down last week. The flagship newspaper has also come under scrutiny in the wake of the report from Shirley, with many claiming online that the YouTuber has been reporting on what the paper should have been doing all along.

Citing the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families, Tikki Brown, the Minnesota paper reported the "Quality Learing Center" was shut down last week.

However, the New York Post spoke to the son of the owner of the day care center on Monday, who claimed that Shirley's visit took place before they opened the day Shirley visited. Ibrahim Ali argued to the Post, “Do you go to a coffee shop at 11 p.m. and say, ‘Hey, they’re not working?’" Despite the reports of the center shutting down, Ali appeared to insist that the center was open for business.

Ali also blamed the misspelling of the now-infamous sign on a graphic designer. “What I understand is [the owners] dealt with a graphic designer. He did it incorrectly. I guess they didn’t think it was a big issue,” Ali claimed as he also said that he helps out with the facility's paperwork.

A resident who spoke to the Post said that the center is usually a ghost town, and that they have never seen children go in the center until today. “We’ve never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the resident said.

Both of the conflicting reports about the center being "open" or "closed" were published on Monday, but the Post had a first-hand reporter at the scene.

Ibrahim Ali, 26, a son of the proprietors, said he helps out with homework and paperwork at the facility. LOL

A simple tour of the inside would likely show an absence of any of the stuff required to deal with children 0 to whatever. It’s likely an empty building.

If the FBI and others are actively investigating this fraud, wouldn't one assume that they have secured warrants to search the premises? Or is Nick going to have to suggest that.

Guess after reading this article & comments, one thing I’d have to say is that “All cultures are NOT equal”
