[Dataloss] 4000 students ssn exposed in williamson county TN

[Michael Hill, CITRMS]

Maybe you legal beagles out there can answer this.  I think I know the 
answers to these questions, but want to see what others are saying.
Can an identity theft services monitor minors?
Are minors responsible for what happens to their credit, driving record, 
medical record, background/criminal record, SSN being altered or stolen?


Thanks,
Mike
