Re the absence of fathers in these child molestation cases:
These days, a “single mom” is simply a woman who chose not to obligate the father of her children by demanding marriage and commitment. And there’s no stigma attached.
Long time ago, there were “divorced moms” and “widowed moms” and not much else. Pregnant single women gave up their children for adoption.
Indeed, where are the fathers?
“These days, a “single mom” is simply a woman who chose not to obligate the father of her children by demanding marriage and commitment. And there’s no stigma attached.”
Or she is a woman whose husband walked out on her for another woman, whose boyfriend exited, stage left when he learned she was pregnant and didn’t want to abort, whose sperm donor was with her one night and on to his next conquest the next day....
I have heard young men, who claim to be believers, tell me, with a straight face, that if they get a woman pregnant, getting married for the reason of the woman’s pregnancy is one of the worst reasons to be married.
This woman owned up to her responsibility to take care of her kid. Daddy didn’t, so far as we know, he’s long since left the picture.
