Minnesota child care centers at the center of widespread fraud allegations fueled by a viral video were operating as expected when visited by investigators, the state Department of Children, Youth, and Families said in a news release Friday.
“Children were present at all sites except for one – that site, was not yet open for families for the day when inspectors arrived,” the agency said.
The agency gathered evidence and initiated further review, noting the investigation into four centers was ongoing, the report stated.
The report comes days after YouTube content creator Nick Shirley, who has created anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim videos in the past, posted a viral video in which he claimed to find widespread fraud at Somali-run child care centers.
The video, which includes limited evidence for the creator’s allegations, has received 3 million views on YouTube as of Friday and gained traction after being reposted by Vice President JD Vance and former Department of Government Efficiency le ader Elon Musk.
The state Department of Children, Youth, and Families on Friday warned distribution of “unvetted or deceptive claims and misuse of tip lines can interfere with investigations, create safety risks for families, providers, and employers, and has contributed to harmful discourse about Minnesota’s immigrant communities.”
“DCYF remains committed to fact-based reviews that stop fraud, protect children, support families, and minimize disruption to communities that rely on these essential services,” the report said.
After the video’s release, Health and Human Services froze all child care payments to the state for review, as the FBI and Department of Homeland Security investigate allegations of fraud.
In addition to demanding a state audit of the Minnesota day care centers featured in the video, Health Services secretary Jim O’Neill said the agency would now require justification and receipts or photo evidence for all payments

No sh*t, Sherlock! They were EXPECTED to launder money in exchange for demonicRAT votes.
More bull shit from CNN. I watched the video. There were no children there. Many need to be arrested. Let us hope that Pam Bondi does her job.
Joe Biden is sharp as a tack.
Trump colluded with Putin to steal the 2016 election.
> operating as expected when visited by investigators <
Yeah, sure. By “visiting”, I’m guessing that the investigator drove by the place on the way to a donut shop.

Liars become abettors and deserve the same penalty as perps.
I wonder how many of them were SURPRISE inspections.
Less than 0.01% I’d guess....
Gee, I’m surprised kids were there when the auditirs told them the day and time for the appointment.
The doors were locked
Sounds like CYA to me. Of course they are going to say that since they apparently weren’t really doing their job like they should. Follow the money
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
—Minnesota state officials
When they realized the jig was up they rushed mongrels into the centers
Neighbors said there had never been kids there before
“operating as expected when visited by investigators”
It depends on the expectation now doesn’t it?
From CNN.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
