Child Identity Theft Law and Legal Definition
Child identity theft refers to true identity theft in which the victim is a minor child. Child identity theft occurs when a child's identity is used by another person for the imposter's personal gain. Since a child is unlikely to request credit reports, there is less chance to detect the crime immediately. Usually, a child identity theft is committed by a parent against a child.
