Talking About I.D. Theft.

In a recent focus group, this is what some concerned parents had to say about identity theft and the growing threat to children and teens:

"Children should not have their lives and credit ruined early in life. Everything now is based on credit and ruining it now can ruin their lives."

"The last thing I'd want is to have my children's credit rating destroyed before they even have a chance to make it on their own."
- Renee, 42

"I do not want my son's credit ruined before he is even old enough to understand the importance of having a good credit history."
- Mark, 41

"Because I love them very much, I don't want them to suffer down the road because I didn't do my best to protect them."
- Samantha, 28

"I want my child to start out in life with the best chance possible."
- David, 31
