There is conflicting data about exactly how many foster youth are impacted by this problem, but estimates run as high as up to 50 percent of foster youth have been affected by identity theft such that by the age of 18, many of them are starting their adult lives with their credit already destroyed. This is an enormous problem when you consider that almost half a million children were in foster care as of 2015, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

It’s Time to Take Control of Your Data: 3 Easy Ways to Own Your Online Presence

You might be asking yourself what ‘taking control of your data’ really means or why it’s important.
