How Children Can Be Affected by Identity Theft

Do you have children? Our children are at risk of identity theft.

As parents, we are responsible for caring for our children, with a host of other things. Something that is of growing concern is the identity of our children. You may ask why we would not even have to worry about that. There are there shopping or a credit application. Or are they?

Unfortunately, criminals do not wait for their "prey" to activate age. In fact, sometimes, you see children because they are the main targets. Identity thieves target children as they have a history of "clean" credit and can be left "out of control" for years.

According to one of the companies to protect the major identity theft, LifeLock, they wrote on their website that "Police say the children are now the fastest growing segment of the victims of identity theft" .

Our kids do not care that much to do your homework or "make the team" and that he should not be. As parents, we are concerned about our children get good grades and be well rounded and loved by his peers. It behooves us to expect the unexpected. When we ordered our annual credit report, why not get one for little Johnny or little Suzy too?

It is painful to have a son who grew up to be a good productive member of society, only to find their identity has been stolen before it comes to buying something on credit. Your credit score is destroyed and may even have a criminal record. Unfortunately, this affects more than trying to get a loan. This could affect enter university of your choice, or even get a job. The first time this boy, now a young adult, try asking something as simple as a credit card thing is denied, because let's say you have a foreclosure or a lien on your credit history. You might wonder how this child could have your identity stolen. Even if you do not make a purchase online or to enter your social security number online sources, the number of social security in cyberspace. Most of us get a social security number for our children in the hospital at birth. It is possible that at some point during the life of his son moment was compromised social security number and you do not know.

Protect yourself, protect your family, protect your children! After all, our children are our greatest asset and our most valuable treasure.
