More than 25 million children are being raised in America today
without the physical presence of a father. It stands as the greatest challenge
of our day and the one issue that very few people want to openly discuss, yet
it impacts our homes, schools, hospitals and prisons. In fact, it is
associated with almost every societal ill facing our country’s children.
Fatherless boys account for 72% of adolescent murders; 60 % of rapists; 67% of
prison inmates; 71% of high school drop outs; 63% of youth suicides and they
are 30% more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol. If fatherlessness were
classified as a disease, the epidemic would quickly be declared the national
emergency that it is.
