Mothers can't do it. Ole "Murphy Brown" thought they could but that was a mere figment of some Hollywood writer's warped mind.
One could take "roll" at any local PRISON to see the truth of this.
I agree with the statistics because too many children have been raised without God in their lives. However, many young boys have grown up without fathers and done very well...due to CHRISTIAN or Organized mothers who aren’t the norm. So nothing is a slam dunk.... even the statistics on crime.
In fact, the juvenile study that is most accurate is that in filling out the questionnaires it seems they entered the field of crime because they had no real relationship closeness with any family member they would not want to hurt, if they were imprisoned.
Many young teens wouldn’t do anything to hurt that Mother, Grandmother or Grandfather they are close to....so fathers aren’t the only hope they have. Even siblings can have an emotional hold on preventing juveniles from being on the wrong side of the law.
I taught CJ in a community college for years, and statistics do not tell the whole story....
That’s not the problem. The problem is that Uncle Sugar will reward you for having a baby without a husband or father around. In Illinois you get more money with each kid, whether one or 14. Worse, if you’re “disabled”, your kid’s grandmother can also foster care for them at about $1000/kid/month.
Democrats created this mess, not the 2nd Amendment.
