We worry enough about our own identities and ID theft but we also need to be aware of how to protect our kids from identity theft as well.

"Many of us have become pretty comfortable shopping online. That's good because it enables us to save money and it also shows that we're embracing technological change. At the same time, that comfort level can also expose us to identity theft and security breaches that can do a lot of damage."

And, if you aren't careful, you might give a scammer all of that information on your own.
