RKN Global calls attention to identity theft, which is not just a threat to adults, but to children as well. Children are especially vulnerable to identity theft because their more limited financial interactions can enable the theft to go unnoticed for a long time. Furthermore, children have a less complicated identity history, often consisting of nothing more than a social security number (in the U.S.), making it easier to steal their identity. Ronald Noble, founder of RKN Global, battled against crimes against children worldwide during his 14 years as Secretary General of INTERPOL. While many crimes against children—such as sex slavery and child labor–are far more extreme and horrific, we cannot ignore the preventable and significant harm posed by child identity theft. If identity theft from a child goes unnoticed for a long time, it can continue to haunt him or her into adulthood, yielding a bad credit score which can then snowball, making it difficult for the victim to apply for mortgages, driving licenses and credit cards. The child’s future will be curtailed by an inability to access crucial resources for building an adult life. So what can you do to protect your child’s identity from being stolen?
