Man in Viral Video Says He’s Visited 40 or 50 Somali-Run Daycares and Never Seen Kids – Twitchy

December 29, 2025

We have to give massive props to independent journalist Nick Shirley, whose 42-minute YouTube video on daycare fraud in Minnesota has gone viral and forced at least some mainstream media outlets to mention it. However, there’s another anonymous man in the video, and he deserves some attention, too. He says he noticed this kind of fraud going on five years ago and began investigating, saying he went to 40 or 50 different “daycare centers” and never once found any kids.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The man who was in Nick Shirley’s video has gone to 50 Somali “day cares” on his own and NOT ONE has children

“They average about $2.5 million a year!”

“I go there in the morning, afternoon and night — no kids there EVER.”

I hope he stays safe. He’s vouching for Minnesotans and Minnesotans First.

They didn’t even bother having a show kid!

Elon Musk stated in another post that none of the NGOs that DOGE investigated ever had children to show either.

Standard practice.

But when you ask to send pictures of who is being helped or try to talk to the parents, they ghost you.

And the wiring instructions are to wealthy accounting firms … https://t.co/jQgwydM8zL

Media don’t care, they could be investigating, but they won’t.

You’ve probably noticed that this isn’t a cable news reporter or even a reporter from a local affiliate doing this interview.

Here is one of the many daycare centers making million a year off of the Minnesota tax payers! It would’ve been so simple for the government to shut this down. All they needed to do was a little investigation. Instead, they just signed and mailed the checks every month to the… pic.twitter.com/EgcFW93ohL

“… Somalian fraudsters. Thank you.”

If zero kids show up all day, it’s not childcare, it’s a money pipeline. Follow the audits, not the outrage

This man is a hero for helping to shed light on this massive fraud.

We have got to get to the bottom of this.

Don’t these daycares have to be inspected?

How would the state agencies not know what’s going on if they never saw kids at these facilities.

We introduced you the other day to two women who were in charge of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, which was responsible for overseeing daycares. One told a committee that it takes tax dollars to track down fraud, and it’s tricky to determine “the appropriate level of oversight and examination of fraud.”
