gave birth to it at home and didn't register it, and home schooled it, then it would be an adult with no identity in the eyes of the government? Would you get in trouble? Is it possible?
I am not saying I would ever do this I just wonder about it....

Yeah I see what you're saying about people seeing the baby, but they would just assume that you registered it wouldn't they? And they would assume that the homeschooling has been OKed.

How about registering your baby TWICE to give it two identities, one good and one bad; all the bad stuff could go on one, the good on the other!

when your home school a child test have to be given to this child to see if the child is up with his grade also when this child goes to get a job he would have to register for a social security number and then have to register for a green card and get a post dated birth certificate allhough it would be possible the child would have a really hard time when he/she becomes an adult also if the parent is audited he government would find out also the census guy could do a house call it might happen but it is not likely i don't think there is a set punishment so maybe the child could be taken away due to neglect (to keep the child hidden this requires no doctor visits leaving the child at home alone when doing erronds these two things alone are considered neglect)

By law you have to register a birth within a few days. I had both my children at home and had to register them with the clerk of court. And now children have to have a Social Security number for taxes. (When I was a kid I didn't get my Social security number until I got a job, about 16.) So you could have a baby and not register with the county or get a SS number, but the child would have a great deal of trouble trying to say... get a job, go to college, get a drivers license, open a bank account etc...

and i suppose you would have to give it illegal injections because you can`t take an un-registered baby to a doctors, you need an NHS number which you get when they are born/registered! i don`t think it would be possible unless you knew you would never need medical attention for that child which of course you don`t. any way why would any parent want to run that risk and do such a thing? that child would need to be kept in 24/7 you can`t do any thing today with out having to provide proof, i.e holidays play school etc etc why would anyone want to stop that child from socialising with other kids and leading a normal life, to not register a baby is stupid and irresponsible of that parent. and if that was the case wouldn`t deserve to keep that child.

Well, in response to your hypothetical question...it would be very difficult...and dumb...to do such. First of all, the baby needs routine doctor visits and care so somewhere he/she has to have immunization records. Secondly, NO CHILD can start school without having their birth certificate presented. and thirdly, you can't claim that child on your taxes if they don't have a social security number and NO CHILD will get a job at 16, nor as an adult, without a social security number and who in the right mind would do that to another human being? YIKES. Almost spooky. I'd rather you wonder if your children will someday be blonde or brunette....as opposed to wondering what life would be like for them if they had no "identity". good gracious!

No, you as a parent would not get into any legal truble. However you will run ito countless problems through childhood trying to get assitance wether it be medical educational and or emergency services. it could be quite frustrating and backfire on you in a hurtful way. When the child becomes an adult it will have many problems to adress such as the fallowing: Drivers lisence, College, Employment and medical. In the long run it is not worth it. Both for the parent and the child. Consider Watching the TV show Dharma & Greig.

That is an interesting question. I wonder myself if it is even possible. I doubt that it is. You would still shop for the baby, take it outside for a walk and people would still notice it. And you might get arrested for endangering a welfare of a child because you didn't let anyone know about the baby being born and that you were putting it in risk of disease. And about about immunization? You would need to do them, otherwise you are difenetily going to jail for the above. There they would ask you the name and the ss# of the baby. And you would have to give it out. Tehy also ask for the country of birth if you don't give them the ss#.
So I guess no it is not possible.

unless you did not go out for the nine months of pregnancy, surely people would notice that you are pregnant, that your eating habits may have changed, that you had morning sickness, so it would be virtually impossible to hide it. of course, you could go abroad, give birth abroad and come back home without the baby, maybe local people in whichever country you gave birth might be able to take it over, so no track there, but otherwise, a theoretical impossibility, with so many surveillance and data management systems around. In fact, you'd only need nosey neighbours to blow the lid off it.

Of course you would get in trouble. What if this child commited crime? How would they trace him/her? What if this person fathered a child of it's own. Even when you homeschool children they have to have a ss#... and d.o.b. and all that mess. Who would they send the diploma 2 ..you know what I'm saying? And, you would have to have a good accompliss...cuz you won't be delievering a baby alone. I think this question is a little crazy and childish. This question reminds me of women who throw their babies away. Please don't have theoreticals like that. What kind of mother would "not" want their child to have identity? And, what child wouldn't want one??? U gotta think...something could happen to you, and your child wouldn't have an identity? C'mon now. I'm not trying to be mean by the way..just honest.

i cant see it being a very good idea, somewhere along the line you would have to register the child, god forbid he or she ever needed medical treatment, and every child deserves the best out of life, and in the long run i think not registering a child wouldn't be as harmful in the younger years as it would be in later life for the child once it reached adulthood, they wouldn't be able to work if they had no insurance number etc, so eventually they would have to go on record one way or another,
