Answer to Question 1

Research shows that fatherlessness is linked to several social ills:
 Young children living without their father in the home are 10 times more likely to be
extremely poor.
 According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, fatherless children
are more prone to drug and alcohol abuse.
 Children from single-parent homes have more instances of physical and mental health
problems than those from two-parent homes. Children without fathers are 20 times
more likely to have behavioral disorders than are children with father involvement.
 Of all high school dropouts, 71 percent have no father involvement.
 Children from single-mother families are more likely to commit crime. Those with no
father involvement are 20 times more likely to end up in prison.
 In homes where there is no father, children and adolescents are 32 times more likely to
run away from home than children who have a father present.
 The suicide rate is 5 times higher among those with no father involvement.
