This sort of makes it easy when people ask me why we need to deal with electronic technology issues for very young children:

Boing Boing: Identity thief rips off 3-week-old baby “Not only the child’s name — first, middle and last — but the parents’, plus the parents’ Social Security numbers and mother’s maiden name for each of us,” said John. “Everything needed to establish a fake ID.”

I can't believe some people. This is an innocent child, a baby. No one deserves to be violated like that, especially a 3-week-old infant. Some people have a lot of nerve.

I can imagine how the parents must have felt. I have been in a situation where someone tried using my identity to take out a credit card. I only found out because the back phoned me to ask if I received the card. Scammers, Thief, Crooks... they will get their reward...
