Fatherless Children

Have you ever thought that there may be a pattern to why kids turn to drugs or alcohol, or why kids have behavioral problems, or why kids run away or drop out of school?  Have you ever thought about crime statistics?  Have you ever heard of a cry for help?  Instead of trying to figure out who to blame for all the problems we need to figure out what to do to prevent the problems.

Some of the main problems with society today stems from the fact that 50% of all marriages are ending in divorce and 50% of all children in the U.S. are being raised by a single parent, and 50% of these children may never know the absent parent - primarily their father.  I don't mean that all children who are raised without a father will have the same problems.  But the chances are more likely that children being raised by a single parent will end up home alone while the parent works. Without a role model, discipline, or supervision, these children will more likely have some serious problems.  Who is teaching them about respect, religion, and responsibility?  Does anyone care what happens to these kids?

Kids don't run away from a happy home.  They run away because they are abused, unloved, or feel unwanted.

These statistics of fatherless children are alarming:

63% - Suicide
