I do know what you mean about multiple broken families. And stepfathers, in particular, seem to prey on their stepchildren in ways most fathers do not. My own opinion of this is that when divorce happens in a family with children, there should be court-ordered family therapy to get everyone off on a reasonably healthy path, and make sure the children are damaged as little as possible. I know you would find this very intrusive, however, into parents' rights issues. But if violence is to a large degree the reason a lot of teens run away, I am not sure how you justify continuing this cycle and hurting more teenagers by making violence on teenagers okay. Even in homes that are broken, I bet that teenagers who are not hit are not running away like the ones that are. What do you think?
