Identify theft typically means stolen financial information, hassles battling credit agencies, or legal nightmares. But there is a different and scarier type of identify theft - digital kidnapping. Almost anything posted online can be exploited, and children's photos are not immune. Both medical and and parenting organizations are cautioning parents to think twice about posting children's photos online. "Digital kidnapping" describes the phenomenon of stealing or copying photos of children found social media and photo-cataloging sites (Facebook, Instagram, Photobucket, etc), and then storing these photos and/or using them for illicit purposes. In one survey, nearly two-thirds of parents reported being concerned that strangers would learn private information about their child or download photos of them, but they still posted images. Some perpetrators have been found to have stolen photos, claimed to be the parents, and then gave the children in the photos fictitious new names.
