Child identity theft : what every parent needs to know
April 23, 2013
Chappell, Robert P., 1962-
Lanham, MD : Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, c2013.
xx, 207 p. ; 24 cm.
Foreword by King F. Davis, Jr. -- Understanding child identity theft -- Recognizing how child identity theft happens -- Detecting and reporting identity theft -- Dealing with child identity theft -- Coping with the emotional fallout from child identity theft -- Preventing child identity theft -- Further resources.
Each year more than 500,000 children are affected by identity theft-- half of them under age six. Countless other cases go unreported because the thief is a relative or parent of the victim. This devastating crime can wreak havoc on a child's future opportunities; it can be difficult to prove, and even harder to undo the damage that has been done. Chappell offers parents, educators, law enforcement officials, and others who care for or work with children an inside look at the ways in which children are vulnerable to identity thieves.
