Fatherless Children

Filed under: Child Support — Tigerseye @ 10:33 am Fri 25th July 2008

When the government sees fit to surgically remove the father from the family culture do they realize they are in fact turning a nuclear family into a nuclear weapon? A study done in Massey University in 1996 found the following horrific facts:

Fatherless Kids are:

5 times more likely to commit suicide

32 times more likely to run away

20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders

14 times more likely to commit rape

9 times more likely to drop out of high school

10 more likely to abuse chemical substances

9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated institution

20 times more likely to end up in prison

There is much more data out there to support this conclusion which is now more than just a theory. These are just the main bullet points. Not only do we suffer as Fathers with little to no access to our sons and daughters, which in itself is a heart breaker but the kids face even greater difficulties.

Remember, legislation encourages Mothers to do it alone… but look what happens when they do. This does not mean men are better then women or fathers are better then mothers, it means they are more powerful and effective when working together. Something that seems to be overlooked when the FCworks “in the best interest of the children.”
