Children residing in households with adults unrelated to them were 8 times more likely to die of maltreatment than children in households with 2 biological parents https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11927705/#:~:text=Conclusions%3A%20Children%20living%20in%20households,adults%20live%20in%20the%20home. |
Are you slow or something? Why does the obvious need to be pointed out to you? |
| Duh. This is something that conservatives already know and have known for years. |
That has nothing to do with single parenting. It could be an uncle in a 2 parent household. |
Highest rate of single mothers is in conservative states |
So you don’t understand the science. Being poor is bad not being a single parent. |
+1 Women need to choose their mates very carefully. |
And do you know why that high rate is true? |
Conservative values |
So we should celebrate and encourage poor single parenting because it works out for rich single parents? |
Family members are a bigger risk |
You can still be a single parent with a boyfriend in the house. Much more dangerous than the child's other parent in the house. |
| Studies like this stigmatize by generalizing. It really comes down to individual situations, but there is no study money in that. |
We should do research that is responsible. Being poor is bad for children regardless of their parents marital status. If women have resources then they should not be compelled to marry simply because they want a child. Poor people should also not be compelled to have children they can’t afford. Write an article/book telling poor married people to stop having children because it’s “not good”. |
Of the male perpetrators, 51% were biological fathers. The second largest group of male perpetrators was nonparents (26%) who included male relatives (12%), male nonrelatives (13%), and those with a combination of nonparental relationships (1%). Boyfriends accounted for 10% and stepfathers for 8%. |
