Who is Joey?
Joey is the fictional child Nick Shirley used to expose Minnesota's billion-dollar daycare fraud scandal.
Empty Daycares
Licensed for 99 children, receiving millions in taxpayer funds. Windows blacked out. No children inside. Just fraud.
"Quality Learing Center"
A daycare that can't even spell "Learning" right received $4 million in state funds. You can't make this up.
$9 Billion Missing
Federal prosecutors estimate $9 billion in fraud. That's almost Somalia's entire GDP.
One Man's Investigation
Nick Shirley's 42-minute exposé uncovered $110M in fraud in ONE day. 100M+ views later, the FBI is involved.
Government Response
Within 48 hours: FBI surged personnel, DHS launched investigations, and the White House called for accountability.

Joey is the child who was never enrolled. The taxpayer dollars that vanished. The accountability that's overdue. We work too hard to stay silent.
