Enough people are wary of identity theft, I holdmy son more important than my identity.
Another dangerous way of putting a child's identity at risk too Onlyme is the popular fashion of having your child's name labelled onto their school bags, t-shirts, hats, jewellery etc. A stranger sees this and can call them by their name. I would never have done this with my children and neither would my daughter. Think people should be aware of this.

Funny how times change, I used to look forward to going down Little Blackburn Road, and viewing the display outside Garth Dawson's window, which showed all the photographs of the last few weeks from the Observer. Was pleased as punch if mine was on there .. be it Carnival, pantomime, school, event, etc .. OK .. smaller catchment area but still open to public view and local crackpots.
