Virtually every major social
pathology has been linked to fatherless children: violent crime, drug and
alcohol abuse, truancy, unwed pregnancy, suicide, and psychological
disorders—all correlating more strongly with fatherlessness than with any other
single factor, surpassing even race and poverty. The majority of prisoners,
juvenile detention inmates, high school dropouts, pregnant teenagers,
adolescent murderers, and rapists come from fatherless homes[1].
