Report: Only 16% of Baltimore Teens Raised With Married Parents

A new report released by the Family Research Council’s Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI) says that only 16 percent of 15- to 17-year-old teens in Baltimore have been raised in an intact, married family.

The report, released Wednesday and compiled in light of the recent Baltimore riots, cites Census Bureau statistics showing that, in terms of family units, Baltimore is “one of the five least intact counties of America,” along with Cuyahoga, Ohio; the Bronx, N.Y.; the District of Columbia; and Shelby County, Tenn.

The report cites studies indicating that children who grow up in intact, married families are least likely to experience poverty during their youth, because married families generally earn higher incomes than stepfamilies, cohabiting families, divorced families, separated families, and single-parent families.

The report says children raised in intact, married families tend to have better educational attainment and achievement than those from non-intact families. They are more likely to achieve higher education after graduating from high school than those from other family structures.

There is a profound crisis in the black community, not just in Baltimore, but nationwide --the crisis is in marriage and family,” Bishop E. W. Jackson...

“Seventy two percent of children are born out of wedlock. Too many fathers are missing from the home, and an alarming number of mothers are still children themselves. Boys in these circumstances are inculcated with the values of the streets, and become susceptible to every negative influence...

“Instead of pursuing education, many embrace the attitude of victimization. Instead of seeking employment, too many prefer to hustle. Race and poverty become excuses for criminality. These social pathologies are perpetuated from one generation to the next.

“Only God -- not government -- can redeem the situation. Only prayer can move the heart of God.

Murphy Brown was the name of the show.

The failure of Republicans to rally around Dan Quayle, when he spoke out against the entertainment media for glamorizing the idea of having children out of wedlock, was one of the most telling examples of the moral disintegration of American leadership.

The media did a hatchet job on Quayle over a number of years; and what is saddest about it, is that had Conservatives taken up that smear job as an issue in and of itself, they could have made considerable progress in waking people up. It is one of the clearest examples from the period of how few really understand tactics.

Of course, the Welfare State has done an immense job of promoting disintegration of the social infrastructure. See How The Welfare State Works.

?
Churches do preach and advocate marriage, faithfulness, no drugs, education etc etc
not sure what you mean
But churches can’t influence people who do not attend.

And of that 16%, how many actually live in the home?

"says that only 16 percent of 15- to 17-year-old teens in Baltimore have been raised in an intact, married family. "

I feel sorry for them. Must be like living in a jungle.

So under Communism, the people just become “breeders” for the government. What a wholesome, wonderful concept (s)! And it would seem that the Blacks are already on board. Just a flock of perambulating penises.They are no more discriminating than a dog.

10. “Divide and govern”...

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Thanks to LBJ and the power hungry Pols who buy the votes election after election with freebies for the ‘Gimmedat” crowd.
