Warning: Google Collecting Kid's Social Security Numbers

Listen up. If your child is active with the internet, you may want to be careful or talk to your children about handling out any personal information. Apparently, Google is running an art contest in which they ask for your child's last four digits of their Social Security Number.

Please, before you do anything, read the following article:

This is downright scary.

The scary thing is that they're requiring it to enter an art contest. It's nothing more than a scam to collect social security numbers of children and raises all kinds of privacy concerns.
