I know adults who have changed their SS number.I don't know your entire situation or your child's history but for the OP or anyone else there is a way to get it changed no matter what the age of the child. As long as you can prove that not changing the number can jeopordize the child's safety and yours (i.e. Parents have violent history, history of inappropriate behavior, history/potential for harassment etc.) then they can change it for you. They change numbers for battered women quite often. The SS number change rules are federal but certain states add their own bias to the matter. The due it more often for DV victims but child abuse in many states holds just as much weight if not more than DV when it comes to safety precautions. Here is the official info from the Social security website.
