I am wondering if anybody on here has ever had their childs social security number and identity stolen?

After reading an article where the State of Utah estimates that in their state over 50,000 children under 18 have had their social security number and identity stolen for work purposes I became concerned about the possibility of my 11 year old Son's info being stolen.

How do you know if it has or hasn't? My Son's was issued in Arizona about a month after he was born. We have moved numerous times since then so does the social security administration keep track of his home address through the parents social security records? If so, wouldn't they send you a notice that their number is being used to record full-time wages when they see a child is a minor, especially a very young minor?

Do parents have the right to go to the local SSA office with their childs birth certificate and original social security card and request a check on their childs number to see if any employment history has been recored against it in the master index file?

And if so, and income is discovered on their number, can you get the employers name that it was recorded against on the W-2? And can you file an identity theft complaint with the police to investigate the employer if you are able to get the employers info? It seems to me that as a parent who is legal guardian of your child you should be able to inquire into this but I have never done so before.

I worry about that happening and I just don't feel I can rely on the federal government to be monitoring for this and bring it to my attention.
