Nick Shirley Drops a Teaser for Part Two of His Fraud Investigation in CA: More Childcare Fraud

Independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley is set to release part two of his California fraud investigation, this time targeting alleged childcare scams. In a teaser clip, Shirley examines a San Diego facility listed as serving 14 children, yet state inspectors had never seen the children, citing missing records and the absence of an official roster.

In the brief clip, the woman Shirley question's becomes immediately confrontational, threatening to call the police and accusing him of targeting Somalis.

"Here is Hayden Serra Family Child Care," Shirley said. "This is a daycare right here. Apparently, they have 14 children enrolled."

"Tell us a little bit more about this daycare right here," he said to a woman helping him with his investigation.

"So, according to state records, when inspectors arrived here, there were 14 kids enrolled, but zero present, and then this place was also cited for having missing children's records and also not having a facility roster," she revealed.

"The problem with these daycares is that they receive money through a program called CalWorks, but as you see, there are no children actually there," Shirley said later. "These fraudsters are simply enrolling children on paper to receive government subsidies. Even after the state visits these daycares and confirms there are no children actually there, the government and the state continue to give these daycares money."

Single mothers in California can receive tax dollars or public funding to help pay for child care through programs like CalWORKs, which assists with child care costs if they are working or in training.

Additionally, they may qualify for federal tax credits, such as the Child and Dependent Care Credit, to offset child care expenses.

Here are the key ways single mothers can receive support for child care:

CalWORKs Child Care: If a mother is receiving CalWORKs cash aid, or is transitioning off of it, she is eligible for child care subsidies to pay for a provider of her choice.

Alternative Payment Programs (APP): For low-income families not on welfare, regional Resource & Referral agencies provide child care subsidies, sometimes called vouchers.

Dependent Care Tax Credit: Single parents can claim federal tax credits for child care expenses (up to $3,000 for one child or $6,000 for two or more).

CalEITC (California Earned Income Tax Credit): Low-income families may receive a refundable credit, putting more money back in their pockets to cover expenses.Important Information on

Paying Relatives:You can use tax-subsidized funds to pay relatives (like a grandmother) for childcare in California, but the recipient must report the money as income on the CalWORKs Child Care-
