David Howe, the nation’s leading authority on child identity fraud, urges Mr. Obama to include child identity theft protections among planned Executive Actions.

WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A., January 8, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SubscriberWise®, the leading provider of analytics driven subscriber decision management technology and the nation's largest issuing consumer reporting agency for the communications industry, announced today that the company president has contacted the White House with a passionate plea for President Obama to exercise his Executive Authority and protect children from identity theft with technology and education. According to SubscriberWise, Congress has failed to address the unabated assault on the nation's innocent and defenseless children.

"Today I sent a passionate plea to the White House and President Obama," stated David Howe, founder and CEO of SubscriberWise. "I urged the President to use his Executive Authority to force federal protections for children who are and will be victimized by identity theft. Specifically, I requested the President to leverage his Constitutional Authority with an Executive Action that includes the recommendations suggested in the proposed SubscriberWise Child Identity Theft Protection Act: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20140911006497/en/SubscriberWise-Proposes-Child-Identity-Theft-Protection-Legislation.

"As I've proved so many times in the past, there remains a dangerous technology gap that exists within federal agencies that allows a child's social security number to be stolen with ease and impunity," continued Howe. "Evidence from an entire decade of fraud cases that originated in call center environments strongly demonstrate the overwhelming majority of individuals committing these crimes are closely related (usually a parent or guardian) to the child. The offenders generally have easy access to sensitive information, including the child's full SSN. Technology and education - not punishment and retribution - are the best and only weapons to successfully manage this problem. Sadly, Congress has done nothing despite my urgent pleas.”

"We can best protect our children with a standard technology solution at the federal level," emphasized David Hoffer, vice president and chief financial officer for SubscriberWise. "Although some states have focused on this problem, it's critical that we avoid a patchwork of inconsistent and often incomplete protections at the state and local levels. The consequences of inaction are serious and children are suffering in silence. Mr. Obama should listen very carefully to the plea from David Howe."

"Congress has let our children down with their bickering and inaction," concluded David Howe. "But that doesn't mean the President must imitate their neglect and incompetence during his remaining time in office. I desperately hope that he'll act quickly.”
