"STOP FRAUD BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF HAND" HOW CAN PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS KEEP IRRESPONSABLE FAMILY MEMBERS ( SOMETIMES PARENTS & OLDER SIBLINGS FROM USING NEWBORNS & UNDER AGE CHILDREN SS#, WHO NOW HAVE TO HAVE A SS# BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE HOSPITAL? IS THERE A "HOT LINE" ESTABLISHED FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME IF ONE KNOWS THAT IT IS HAPPING? I THINK A GREAT IDEA FOR THE GOVERMENT TO DO IS TO ESTABLISH A LISTING OF SS# , FOR EACH STATE, THAT CANNOT BE USED FOR CREDIT FOR ANY REASON FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS. THIS WOULD GIVE THESE CHILDREN WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW THAY HAVE A SS# A CHANCE TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN CREDIT ISSUSES.
