Parent's abusing their children's credit

Man, I'd heard of identity thieves stealing kid's SSNs for credit cards and such, I guess I shouldn't be surprised when parents do it.

"It was her first credit card application, or so she thought, prompted by an offer on her Ohio college campus for a free T-shirt.

But a rejection letter uncovered troubling news someone had already opened four credit cards in her name and racked up $50,000 in debt.

That someone, it turns out, was her father."
