Citizen journalist Nick Shirley blew up the Somali daycare fraud story in Minneapolis to the point where the White House got involved. Here we have Tyler Oliveria doing something similar in Columbus, Ohio … trying to get an application to enroll his one-year-old baby in a daycare center. Language warning: some proprietors weren't so friendly.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are being dished out to these locations
"You can NOT be here!"

They're awfully protective of the kids in there.
We will find baby Oliveira a daycare! 😂

It’s such obvious fraud.

This level of professionalism isn’t reassuring for a childcare setting. I’ll choose another option.

Doesn't sound like the type of responsible adult I

should trust with my kids life. These guys are
supposed to be running a childcare facility but are swearing like sailors. I'm gonna have to drop little Johnny off somewhere else.
Where are the kids? I’ll tell you where they are, at home with their unemployed parents, who are part of this fraud, likely receiving a cut from the payments.

We see a cop actually showed up. And no, those windows aren't boarded up … they're tinted.
Mind boggling how this is being allowed to continue.

It’s real in Columbus and it’s happening in Dayton and Cincinnati also. There are plenty of fraudsters in Ohio. We ALL see it but our state leaders deny it.

No real child care business would treat potential customers that way

It was always a scam and They’re trying to keep their scam going while they try to hide it by bullying .
Taxpayer dollars are funding daycare centers that treat citizens like intruders? This is unacceptable. Ohio needs a full audit, accountability, and transparency now.

The difference between legit daycare and fraud is night and day. The more I see of this, the more I throw up in my mouth.

On the plus side, he did find one legitimate daycare business.
