"Nearly 70 percent of juveniles in state reform institutions come from fatherless homes."
-William Barr, "Crime, Poverty, and Family," Heritage Foundation Lectures, July 29, 1992, citing statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
13point1Aug 12, 2010
Heritage Foundation... nice source, totally not biased at all.
tsothaAug 12, 2010
Pointing out facts you don't like doesn't make a source "biased". Even liberals used to realize kids are more likely to succeed if they have a father. Somebody like Moynihan, for instance.
kernel16Aug 12, 2010
Are you then saying that that statistics is false? I doubt it.
whaaamoAug 12, 2010
^no
no one "needs" a father. my psychology book does however emphasis the importance of attention and care in which single parent households have difficulty providing that what with the mother or father having to deal with a job (or two, depending on whether or not the family is in anything less than an ideal economic situation) which keeps the parent away from home and, in turn, provides less attention to the child.
dual parent households in general (father or not) are preferable to single parent households. gender has little to do with it.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
bdog2g2Aug 12, 2010
@ts
Sorry, wrong.
I came from a fatherless home as well as about 2 dozen friends of mine. We're all successful. Some more so than others. IN FACT, I'm inclined to think had my father been around, I'd probably be less successful judging by his 3 other kids he has. He's got a pretty s**tty track record.
stingwolfAug 12, 2010
"More likely" doesn't mean it's impossible otherwise. Your minuscule sample size doesn't refute the theory.

Far be it from me to defend the Heritage Foundation or Bill-O...
But there is no such things as "biased facts", there are just facts. If they come from Heritage or Bill-O, well color me surprised, but I can't dismiss them out of hand.
One can and should question the methodology of the study of course.
prodigitalsonAug 12, 2010
@SoulDad: Equally as important as the nature of the study, is the interpretation of the data. On its own that stat doesnt say anything about why that is. IT could be its not having the father as a strong role model as i assume Mr. Barr is suggesting, or it could be not having a two parent income, or a lack of oversight by two parents. Its not necessarily the lack of a male authority figure and its associated traditional gender role.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

if you get your news from Fox, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
diggduggjoeAug 12, 2010
Maybe the single moms should have given up their kids to another family? Or they could have worked harder on the mate selection process or birth control.
I am not suggesting every one on digg from a single parent home not be alive, just that personal responsibility is not a bad thing and having a good track record of that would likely make you a pretty good parent.
I am pretty sure most single moms use a lot of resources from Uncle Sam, so at least financially we all are the dad's. So, my kids get less for we need to support selfish people who chose not to be responsible. I say selfish in that for many of these children adoption into a established family would be better for the child, but the mom will not hear any of that, "It is her baby!"
Is Jen destructive to society, maybe, but not anymore than all the talk about how dads are useless outside of insemination. A good male role model would be helpful for boys, I said a good role model, not one of 20 boyfriends that rubbed the boys head and took him to a ball game before moving on with his life.
I had a dad, even with a divorce, I never felt he didn't care for me. He was great and I love him. I cannot imagine my life without him.
Closed AccountAug 13, 2010
nice troll
well you better get busy adopting seeing as 40% of births are to single women
but hey, I guess actually raising a child by yourself is somehow not "being responsible"
an established family... so you're saying that when your mom and dad got divorced, the responsible thing for them to do would have been to put YOU up for adoption to an "established family"
hey, here's an idea. rather than trying to take the freedom to choose what a woman does, why don't you try fighting for pay equality, so that fewer woman will actually need assistance raising their children when good old dad leaves
I gotta say it... f**k you. Just... f**k... you
diggduggjoeAug 15, 2010
Yes my parents divorced, but my dad was still involved and paid the bills. My mom did not go on assistance, use Section 8 housing, food stamps or medicaid. There is a world of difference between a divorce and never taking the time to have a stable relationship before you get knocked up. My father was involved and because of that he made sure we all made it.
It is not hard to believe that some dude who made it with a woman he doesn't truly know will not have any reason to give a damn.
Build a relationship, then have kids. If it means not having sex, then fine. People have a right to sex, but responsibility is necessary because people do not have the right to force others to pay to raise their kids.
Apparently the lack of responsibility shown by these women must hit close to home.

Face it, statistics show children to single-parent homes, not divorcees, face more risk of financial hardship, juvenile delinquency or failure in school.
And Bill is right on the money, easy for some sassy celebrity to say she is ready to be a mom when she has a dozen handlers taking care of them. You can have all the money in the world but if your kid spends more time with your nannies than you, you're bound for trouble down the road.

Or unmarried men aren't allowed to have sex with unmarried women. Wait, what? Oh, that's not cool. Women should totally be entirely responsible for making sure they don't accidentally or intentionally get pregnant without the "normal family structure" around to protect them from being different.

For someone like Jennifer Aniston who has millions of dollars, yes she can probably raise a perfectly normal child on her own (with a full-time nanny). But look at the rate of children born to single mothers in lower income areas and tell me those kids don't need a stable father figure in the house.
Sorry, he's right. There are always exceptions, but a kid growing up in a stable two parent household is going to have a much better chance than a kid being raised by grandma because mom is out at the club 4 nights a week.
bowens44Aug 12, 2010
No, he's wrong as always.
thetorontonianAug 12, 2010
Having come from a single parent household and doing quite well for myself as are my two sisters with their cars and properties, heck one of my sisters has two houses side by side, I have to call bulls**t on your statement. As much as I would like to think myself overly special, well, statistically speaking I am not.
Your example is talking about a woman who clubs 4 nights a week? While grandma watches over the child? That my friend is not a mother, that is an idiot. Any kids raised by irresponsible idiots for parents, whether they come in a couple or single will raise children badly, regardless of education, finances, gender, etc.
My mother raised three kids due to the passing of my father and did not met my step-father until I was well into my twenties, and without millions of dollars. It was not easy raising us alone for 17 years with one income, yet I am sure it is quite possible and to do it well. It's all about the values you instill and determination. And I am NOT talking about silly religion when I speak values. That has nothing to do with it.
I think people get lazy and don't want to, that I would believe. But it does not mean it is not possible. That's life.
chriskzooAug 12, 2010
Bravo to your mother - she is certainly an exception. Unfortunately, she is far from the norm for single mothers in our society. Yes, there are a good number that do a great job raising their kids, but they are far outweighed by those who are completely irresponsible or simply unable to raise a child properly on their own.
thetorontonianAug 12, 2010
Bravo indeed. Yet, I still think it is the values that we instill in our children. She had an advantage in a family who loved her either way and came from a very hard working family who in the end were there for her. She did get some help from the grandparents here and there, of course. The point is that it is hard but it can be done and done well if I were to say so myself.
But if you have a couple who gets pregnant with no support, or has great support but they are idiots or worse... then they are bound to do badly. I have known many people raised in a two parent household who are total wrecks. In fact, the guy who once tried to rape a friend of mine, was one of the richest guys I ever met and came AND from a picture perfect family/background, and far more perfect looking than mine. Apparently the father had "molested" him, or at least that is what the told the cops.
Anyway... the point is that in this case, maybe having been raised with a lack of a father might actually have been better for that moron. Financially speaking it is easier to raise children with a couple, hell, if a kid was raised with 5 parents that would be awesome, imagine the gifts on your birthday! But it is quite possible to raise children with just one parent. And sometimes taken life's circumstances it is better that way.
Besides, historically speaking Men has screwed with Women forever since we pushed the whole being the bread-winner crap. So what it Women are starting to make more money? (Hell, in the US they are certainly better educated, true fact) maybe they do not need to put up with our crap only because we bring home the bacon anymore. It just means that times are *a-changing'*

i hardly think that the opinion that fathers are important to the process of raising a child is his "most insane comment yet". that's a fair opinion to have i would think. there is no formula for a healthy family if you ask me, one can be had in almost any set of circumstances. but dismissing the importance of the role of a father in a child's life entirely is somewhat reckless, just as it is reckless to assume that a single mother (or two moms/dads) cannot do a great job.

In the grand scheme of things, men have always been somewhat expendable. Historically, it's always been the man's role to protect and provide for the family. If we have done our jobs well, not only within the family, but society as a whole, that role would naturally diminish.

I share Letterman's theory. Letterman says that O'Reilly puts on a persona.

In other words he's a shock jock and it works.

His rant is no more insane than her comment. While, yes, it is possible to raise a child without either a father or mother, it's far from ideal. We learn different lessons and life skills from both parents. Common sense and a myriad of sociological studies have shown that children that come from a traditional home fair better in society. (I'm even going to touch the gay/lesbian issue, I doubt there is enough information out there to make a fair conclusion.)
