Police in a Chicago suburb say the Internal Revenue Service has told a 7-year-old boy he owes back taxes on $60,000 because someone else has been using the youngster's identity to collect wages and unemployment benefits.
[From The Raw Story | Man accused of stealing 7-year-olds ID]
How can a 7-year-old kid even have an identity? Or, to put it another way, if all an identity is is whatever a kid has at seven what good is it anyway?
And it gets better.
Officers in suburban Carpentersville said Friday the second-grader's identity has been in use by someone else since 2001.
Since 2 freakin' 001? He couldn't have been more than one year old, this kid. Does this make sense?
According to the brief article at Raw some guy, now 29, used the kid's "ID" to work three jobs, buy a truck, pay bills, and collect unemployment benefits.
If the ID of a kid that age is all the ID you need to have an ID, bunky, what's the point?
