Daniel Rojo, a ballet instructor from
Family Circus always
puts me in mind when my children were young and all the worries that came from
their sincere love and trust in everyone. In March one of the
articles was on never talk to strangers.
Dolly is approached by a man wanting to ask her a question. But Dolly remembered her mothers heed “never

showing the police apprehending the man, a child molester. Dolly remembered what mom told her! It could have been alright but you can
never be sure.
Identity Theft I could
not believe it happened to my family twice this year.
How ironic is this?
My brother filed his income tax and was prevented from receiving it
because of an old unpaid speeding ticket which belonged to another gentleman by
the same first, last name and SS number.
He was able to prove he was working at the time the citation was

citation was removed with the help of Ombudsman office, IRS, his employer and
an understanding judge who wrote a letter to the DOT.

Here are some
tips to stop identity theft: Order
a copy of your credit report, use difficult pass words on credit cards and
phone accounts, lock up all personal information, do not give out personal
information over the phone, watch your mail, shred unnecessary personal information,
lock up your Social Security card and Safeguard computer information._______
