Father's absense o 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes. o 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. o 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. o 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes. o 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. o 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes. o 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes. o 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home. o California has the nation's highest juvenile incarceration rate and the nation's highest juvenile unemployment rate. o Juveniles have become the driving force behind the national increase in violent crime; the epidemic of youth violence and gangs is related to the breakdown of the two-parent family. o 71% of teenage pregnancies are to children of single parents. Daughters of single parents are 2.1 times more likely to have children during their teenage years than are daughters from intact families. Daughters of single parents are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a premarital birth, and 92% more likely to dissolve their own marriages. All these intergenerational consequences of single motherhood increase the likelihood of chronic welfare dependency. o In 1983, a study found that 60% of perpetrators of child abuse were women with sole custody. Shared parenting can significantly reduce the stress associated with sole custody, and reduce the isolation of children in abusive situations by allowing both parents' to monitor the children's health and welfare and to protect them. o 18 million children live in single-parent homes. Nearly 75% of American children living in single-parent families will experience poverty before they turn 11. Only 20% in two-parent families will experience poverty. o The feminization of poverty is linked to the feminization of custody, as well as linked to lower earnings for women. Greater opportunity for education and jobs through shared parenting can help break the cycle. o Kidnapping: family abductions were 163,200 compared to non-family abductions of 200 to 300, attributed to the parents' disenchantment with the legal system. Reestablishing fatherhood is not just a minor issue to the Signatories to the Fathers' Manifesto. It is the only way to rid this world of its current social pathology, and they know it. Any and every plan for doing this must be presented and carefully scrutinized, regardless of its "political correctness." There is too much at stake to ignore any possible solution. The Constitutional right to freedom of religion clearly requires the preservation of families -- and this requires strong fatherhood. Sources: "The False Child Abuse Industry" by John Knight
