Studies show that children thrive best when their fathers are involved in their lives. Those with absent fathers are more likely to:
• Live in poverty
• Drop out of school
• Become unwed parents
• Become involved with gangs
• Abuse alcohol and drugs
• Commit delinquent acts and crimes
If both mother and father don’t take the time to influence their children, someone else will. Now is the time to get involved in your child’s life, and make sure he or she is headed in the right direction.
