Child identity theft occurs when someone uses a child's personal information, like their Social Security number, to commit fraud or other crimes. It can go unnoticed for years since children typically do not check their credit reports until they are older. Victims may face long-term consequences, including damaged credit scores and difficulties in obtaining loans or employment. Parents can help protect their children's identities by being cautious with personal information and monitoring for any unusual activity.
