Identify theft is a price we are paying for putting so much information on the Internet. There
are credit bureau services to protect you from theft. Crooks are trying to steal the identities of
young children. You can freeze your (or your child’s) credit information.
The three big credit bureaus are Experian, Equifax and Trans Union. You may request they
not give information to any company that you are not already doing business with.
But there is another way to rob consumers. Go after their children. Children do not have credit
cards or outstanding loans. So what do thieves do?
When they are able to get the social security number of a baby, thieves can add a date of birth
and a name. This creates a false identity with a clean credit report. Thieves can then open credit
cards and borrow money. The parents do not know. The identify theft might not be discovered for
years.
When the child becomes a young adult and applies for credit or a student loan, he or she may
be rejected because of “his” or “her” poor credit history.
Some states are doing something about this. They tell parents to have a credit report created
for the child and then freeze it.
In Oregon, parents can contact a credit bureau. They will ask for a “protected” record in their
child’s name. This creates an empty credit file, which is then frozen (cannot be changed). Other
states, such as Utah, use a different system. Companies seeking credit information from a forzen
credit report will get a warning that the application is likely fraudulent.
In Oregon, the credit companies charge $10 to freeze records. Call a credit bureau in your
state, or one of the three listed above, to find out if there is a program like this.

1. What is the solution for this type of Fraud?

a. Create a child credit file and freeze the account
b. Borrow from credit bureaus
c. Pay $10
d. Make a new credit file
e. Get a $10-loan from credit bureau

In the last ten years kidnapping has become common in Haiti. Usually, young children of
richer people are taken and held for ransom. It has made Haiti a dangerous place to live, work
and visit.
Now, the nation is addressing the problem. A wealthy businessman has been charged with
kidnapping the adult children of a business rival. His arrest changed things.
First, it showed that the Haitian National Police were able to investigate and charge a rich
person with a crime. Before, the police were thought to be incompetent and corrupt.
Second, the investigation found many present and former police officers engaged in criminal
activities, including kidnapping.
Third, the arrests showed that light skinned Haitians could be violent criminals. The common
belief was that Haitians with darker skins were more prone to violent crime.
The businessman, from the wealthy family, is Clifford Brandt. He had the children of a rival
auto dealer kidnapped for a $2,5 million ransom. The children were rescued. Investigation
showed that Brandt headed a large criminal enterprise in kidnapping illegal arms trafficking, and
laundering money.
Haitians saw the arrests along class and racial lines. A cab driver said, “They are always
blaming us for kidnapping, but I have always known some wealthy and powerful people were
involved all along.”
A businessman said, “You always assumed that kidnapping did not have a face,” said a
businessman who negotiated his kidnapped son’s release after eight days in the summer of 2008.
“Now it has a face,”
The big question in Haiti is whether this is the start of the stabilization of the country.
