I’m sure this won’t cause any problems for the kid in the future, and that their relationship with the parents will be just fine.

Maybe I have never understood to the actual/literal meaning of run around.

Per the googles it means awkward or evasive responses. But a literal interpretation might mean “they kept telling us to talk to different people, research different issues, jump through hoops and then they move the goal post”.

I’d say either works, but both in combination for the ultimate runaround.

But what does this person really mean?

What they probably mean is they’re trying to get a passport for their child and the passport office has told them that that’s no problem at all. In fact, all they need is a copy of the child’s birth certificate.

That poor baby is going to end up getting raised in secret in the basement or something… Why do these people have to make their kids suffer for this nonsense? Even if that kid has a quasi normal childhood, having no SSN means they won’t be able to do almost anything as an adult

It’s possible that they are just that stupid and selfish.

When it goes to such an extreme that it negatively affects your life like this, it’s a disorder

I started needing my SSN card in elementary school so I could have a savings account at a bank instead of like burying money in the yard. Can you even get health insurance without SSN?

I don’t even think you can get a job without an SSN anymore unless it’s some kind of cash only under the table deal lol

I know ITINumbers are a thing for people who can’t get a SSN to help with taxes. I have no idea if a US born person without documents can get one though.

I think the lack of birth certificate is the bigger problem. There are in place processes for getting a social security number as an adult. I don’t know about birth certificates though.

Also, don’t they believe the government sets aside millions of dollars for every child born that the child supposedly would have access to? By their own logic, aren’t they just depriving their children of millions of dollars they would eventually be able to withdraw from using magic words?

If there were millions of dollars earmarked for me since birth, I assure you I would have found it and probably spent it by now lol

Yeah it’s clear they don’t realize how little $3m is in terms of lifetime funds, but also just how much $3m x 331,449,281 people is.
