10:00 Panel 2

Children at Risk: Foster Care and Beyond

This panel will explore the unique challenges of identity theft among foster children, 

who often have fewer resources to help them address this crime and recover from 

victimization. These children are particularly vulnerable because their personal 

information is easily accessible by many, including relatives, foster parents, and state 

employees. This panel will examine all of these challenging issues, as well as assess 

state and federal legislation related to foster children and identity theft. Panelists will also 

provide useful tips for those in positions to advocate for youth in the foster care system.
