Took money out of my account authorized by a 10 year old Ellisville

I noticed a debit to my account of 3/12/09 from Scholastic. I have never ordered anything from them, and it is not a habit of mine to give my account information out to anyone. I called them from a number I looked up on the Internet. They looked my name up, my phone numbers, address and nothing. They had no listing of me. So I gave her my account number. She then informed my that they had my daughters name. She is 10 years old.
I wrote her a check for a book fair she was having right about the time the charges started. So I did not notice those, I just assumed it was for a book she had bought.
She signed up for some club while there, and they took my routing number and checking account number and set her up an account... 10 years old. Not only is she not employed, has no job, but she damn sure does not have a checking account.
How can they set her an account up and debit my account. She of coarse had no idea what she was doing. She would of never done that if she knew they would take it from my account. And we have not recieved the first book, and the charges started on 11/08. Small increments $10-12 each.
She stated I had to send a written letter to stop it. Well I sure did not have to send a written letter to start it. One word... Crooks!
