Toddler Has Identity Stolen Twice
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - At 22 months old, Jabriona Terry is a little young to have her own phone. But her mother discovered her daughter's name listed in a phone book and soon realized an acquaintance had used the girl's Social Security number to set up the phone service.
It wasn't the first time the girl has been victimized by identity theft, her mother said.
Someone else using her name and Social Security number listed her on his tax return, claiming her as a dependent to get a larger tax refund, she said.
LaShonda Terry wants charges filed against the person who used her daughter's identity to get a phone. But police say it is difficult to do.
