Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for detecting an indication of a suspicious event associated with personal information of a child. Personal information representing a social security number of the child and a name of the child is received. Parent personal information representing contact information for a parent of the child is received. A child file for the child is created and stored on a computer-readable medium. The child file for the child includes the personal information representing the social security number of the child and the name of the child. The child file for the child is locked by associating an electronic notice to the child file for the child to prevent access to a database using at least part of the personal information of the child. The database includes credit data. The child file and the credit data is monitored for the indication of the suspicious event using the personal information representing the social security number of the child. A notification is transmitted to the parent using the parent personal information representing contact information for the parent. The notification is transmitted after detecting the indication of the suspicious event. The notification includes information associated with the indication of the suspicious event.
