While I see thes statistics on average more than many who are not looking for them, I have to wonder if they are swayed by the fact that more women tend to recieve custody. This falls under the aspect of "fatherless statistics". .... When even taking statistics 101, or entry to psychology (ive read the text books, learning vicariously from my friends who are in college) the biggest concern for reading data like this is if there is an even playing feild.
The courts generally do give custody to mothers at an extremly higher rate then they give them to fathers. This gives an uneven outlook on these statistics. Could the factor be moreso the workings of sole custody rather than gender??
Without giving custody to fathers evenly we cannot base these numbers merely on gender. Our species is meant to raise children in a family setting, that includes grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Can our minds handle doing it alone??
Unfortunately studies to look into these situations more are not carried out. I can blame this moreso on the fact that our govt stands to make more money by not looking into this and staying on the current path of distruction. There is no money in intact families, there is even less money in equal parenting schedules. We have succumbed to our own government's greed and allowed them to destroy our families.
