Minnesota Was Just the Start—California Daycare Fraud Explodes

from The Adult in the Room · host Victoria Taft

Walk through how a licensed California investigator began pulling public records—only to uncover daycare centers with dozens of children “enrolled” and zero kids present during inspections. You’ll hear why state access to records suddenly vanished, how nonprofit pass-throughs may be shielding taxpayer money, and why investigators believe this problem reaches far beyond one state.Also, hear how attempts to expose the truth are being dismissed as “conspiracy” instead of investigated—and why that reaction raises even more questions.#GhostDaycares#CaliforniaFraud#TaxpayerMoney#NGOCorruption#AdultInTheRoom
