Protect your kids from identity theft too

Kids are also targets of identity theft.

This article highlights how to protect yourself and your kids from identity theft.

Here’s an excerpt:

Safeguarding Your Child

Adults are not the only ones susceptible to identity theft. Thieves
also target children. Kids may not discover there’s a problem until
years later when they apply for their first credit card or loan.
Two-thirds of child identity theft is perpetrated by someone the child
knows (usually a relative), but theft of information also occurs from
schools and medical offices. Help your children avoid blemishes on
their credit before they have a chance to get a card of their own! Keep
their birth certificates, Social Security cards and other important
documents in a safe location.
