The National Fatherhood Initiative use the U.S. Census Bureau Report and many other sources that can easily be checked but seem to be very reliable and sound sources.
“The Father Factor: Facts of Fatherhood” has many different facts about all types of situations. It has the possible outcomes of every situation and the effects that each scenario could have in many different areas such as education, childhood obesity, drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, teen pregnancy, the factors that a father figure could cause in crime, incarceration, maternal and infant health, and how poverty can affect how a father raises his children. There are facts such as a child in a fatherless home are five times more likely to be poor when they grow up, mortality rates for women that are unwed are almost 2 times higher for infants, they have significantly higher odds of being incarcerated, and that there is a significantly higher rate of drug use in children without a father figure. The one fact that stuck out the most for me or that kind of was most shocking to me was, “Of the 228 students studied, those from single-parent families reported higher rates of drinking and smoking as well as higher scores on delinquency and aggression tests when compared to boys from two-parent households.” I didn’t really think that only having one parent present in the home, not regarding if it were the mother of father, would have that much of an impact on a child’s life as then went into adult hood.
This site will be very helpful because it gives many different perspectives and many different situations that could occur. I also like that after each fact there is a source that I can check to see if it is a reliable source.
All of the sources are very reliable from what I gathered from each of them. There were sources after each of them facts and statistics that were used in the piece.
