Father's Day is just around the corner. Sunday, June 17, 2018, is rapidly approaching. We recently celebrated Mother's Day and I hope the world will honor Fathers and Fatherhood in the same light as they did for Mothers.
Another week of school shootings hit the United States once again last week. There has been upwards of 23 school shootings since the beginning of the school year. Divorce is at an all-time high across the globe. If we take a peek at any neighborhood across the world, we will see some similarities, there are more and more Fatherless households. We have special interest groups trying to remove the usage of any word with "MAN" in it from existence. Check out this video from February 2018:
How ridiculous is that? I mentioned school shootings above because if we look at recent mass shootings, many of the suspects came from a Fatherless household.
Statistics (https://thefatherlessgeneration.wordpress.com/statistics/)
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).
It's obvious to me that we need to take a closer look at solving this issue as our world is becoming more violent because Families are no longer lead by a two-person household. For that reason, I support The Justice For Fathers Movement. (https://fb.com/justiceforfathersmovement). They never bash Mothers. Their goal is to educate the world on the importance of Fathers and Fatherhood. They are supported by many Mothers who know the true value of their children having a Father around.
I'm hoping that my fellow Steemians agree with me that change is necessary. The world needs Justice For Fathers and our Children Need Their Fathers "NOT" Visitors.
