Kids Need Dads

The National Center for Fathering (NCF) maintains "fatherlessness is associated with almost every societal ill facing our country's children."

Over 20 million children are living in fatherless homes which are shown to be a primary cause of crime, poverty, drug use, poor physical health, poor emotional health and promiscuity.

• 40 percent more likely to raise children in poverty
• 90 percent of homeless and runaway children are fatherless
• 80 percent of adolescents in psychiatric hospitals are fatherless
• 70 percent of adolescents in juvenile detention facilities are fatherless
• 60 percent of rapists come from fatherless homes
• 70 percent of childhood pregnancies occur in fatherless homes

Children who grow up in fatherless homes are:

• 2 times more likely to commit suicide
• 10 times more likely to abuse drugs
• 9 times more likely to drop out of school
• 11 times more likely to have violent behavior
• 20 times more likely to be incarcerated
• 9 times more likely to be raped or sexually abused at home
