I owe $100,000.
I am turning 5 next week.
Imagine finding out that someone stole your sweet 4-year-old daughter’s social security number, created a fake identity, and racked up $100,000 in credit card debt.
Sad to say but you would actually be lucky to have found out this soon. Most child identity theft is not discovered until the child turns 18 and applies for a college loan or their first credit card. Then the devastating mess is uncovered. 66% of child identity victims are under the age of 8. That means that identity thieves have over 8 years to use children’s social security numbers. **
Why is this illegal activity going undetected? Because most parents don’t think about having to keep any eye on a child’s SSN because LEGALLY there SHOULD not be any activity associated with it.
We start voluntarily sharing our children’s social security numbers for legitimate reason such school, sports, camps, medical forms, etc. from the time they are born. Our children’s social security numbers are also being exposed with corporate data breaches.
So, what should parents do?
