EVERYTHING BEGINS AT HOME

 

Just to think that we were all once children. Those who had a father know the benefits of having one and those who didn't have a father know the pain of not having one. Even though we each know individually what the benefits and problems of either having a father or not having a father while growing up, we still individually make choices to not be in our children's lives the way we should be.

 

If you are convicted by these statistics of children without a father or if you know someone else who would be then please do something about it. All of us need each of us and each of us need all of us in order to put a stop to this world epidemic of fatherless children.

 

63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average.

 

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes – 32 times the average.

 

85% of all children who show behavior disorders come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Center for Disease Control)

 

80% of rapists with anger problems come from fatherless homes --14 times the average. (Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26)

 

71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (National Principals Association Report)

 

75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes – 10 times the average. (Rainbows for All God’s Children)

 

70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)

 

85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)

 

Clearly, fathers represent a lot more than just a paycheck to a child; they represent safety, protection, guidance, friendship, and someone to look up to. 

 

WE want to help!
