Mother Steals Identity of Her Children and Father
A UNIONTOWN, Pa. Woman is being accused of stealing the identities of her father and two children. According to police 32 year old woman Tina Price used the names of her two children 7 and 2 to apply for 25 credit cards. Price is also being accused of using her father’s information to apply for more than 39 credit cards.
Police began investigating when Tina Price’s father received a bill for a computer that he didn’t purchase. Tina Price was arrested on two bench warrants for writing bad checks and then was charged with 64 counts of identity theft.
It’s shocking when you read stories about people taking advantage of their family. Your family is supposed to be the group of people you are closest to in the whole world. This woman chose to take advantage for her own children and father and steal from them. She stole their identities, ruined their credit, and made purchases on the fraudulent cards. I don’t understand how someone could treat their family like that.
The sad thing is when it comes to child identity theft the majority of the time the parents are the ones to blame. It will be a sad day when a child grows up only to find his or her credit was ruined by their parents. In fact many identity thefts involve people you know. So don’t be afraid to protect your private information from those who you think you know.
