New Study: What Family Structure Prevents Child Abuse? By: Maggie Gallagher The Corner Question: What kind of family structure best protects children from child abuse? Answer: Married biological parents. This study (pages 5-25) shows that answer, by an enormous margin, compared to every other family structure including solo parents, other married parents (primarily remarried), single parents living with a partner, cohabiting parents, and no parents. The big gap is between the intact married biological family and every other family form. To answer your other question: Same-sex couple parents are not a specific option studied (probably because the number of such parents is so small). Perhaps, alone of all the family structures studied, children living with same-sex couples do just as well as children in intact married families. Perhaps. But does this study, which is one of a hundred, give Ted Olson and David Boies pause at all, I wonder, in their quest to prove that science says same-sex unions are just the same as opposite-sex unions, even with regard to child well-being? corner.nationalreview.com
