Children have always been an attractive target for identity thieves because their credit reports are clean and are often left unmonitored for many years, providing ample time to cause substantial damage to the child’s credit.

This information is also stored in case management software and is typically accessed by several adults during their time in care, opening up opportunities for misuse.
