So says Mike Rowe.
All we have to do is look around to see it. Is it because Women's Lib has caused the rise of single-parent/women homes? Or, and thisi may be reaching, because we've become a society of self-gratification? Get it when you can and don't worry about the results?
Here are some facts about fatherless homes:
• 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes — five times the average. (US Dept. Of Health/Census)
• 90 percent of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes — 32 times the average.
• 85 percent of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes — 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)
• 80 percent of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes — 14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)
• 71 percent of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes — nine times the average. (National Principals Association Report)
• 43 percent of U.S. children live without their father [US Department of Census]
What are your thoughts? Is he right?
