Quote
Drill down into any social ill and you’ll see that children from broken families are over-represented in every single risk category. From drug abuse to suicide, incarceration to homelessness, children that are emotionally starving for love and a relationship with their mother and father contribute to our most pressing social issues.
71% of pregnant teens are fatherless.
63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes—5 times the average.
90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes—32 times the average.
47% of children living in poverty are fatherless—4 times higher than children with married parents.
We put billions of dollars into social programs that seek to band-aid the gaping wound left by family break-down, and still our children are floundering. Why? Because the government cannot love a child. Share
