Children suffering from Divorces;Cammesha Moody(Edison)
There’s a possibility that children of divorced families may suffer from more than not having both of their parents around.
Crime is a huge issue when it comes to how a person is raised esspecially when they come from a single parent home.
- A study using Add-Health data found that even after controlling for race, parents’ education, and income, adolescents in single-parent families were almost two times more likely to have pulled a knife or a gun on someone in the past year.
“The greater the proportion of single-mother families in a neighborhood, the higher the delinquency rate.”
Don Terry, “Killed by Her Friends, Sons of the Heartland,” New York Times, 18 May 1994, A1. Cited on page48 ofThe Abolition of Marriage, by Maggie Gallagher
I believe family structure is an important predictor of crime and delinquency.
- Delinquency rates are 10 to 15 percent higher in broken homes than in intact ones.
Brian Willats, Breaking Up is Easy To Do, available from Michigan Family Forum, - A study conducted by two sociologists, Robert J. Sampson and W. Byron Groves, who analyzed data from hundreds of British communities found that in neighborhoods with a high percentage of single-parent homes the amount of crime was significantly higher. … In a study by “So powerful was the connection between disrupted families and crime that, once family status was controlled for, neither race nor income had any effect on the crime rate.” Nor did dropout rates in a Latino neighborhood studied by Josefina Figueroa-McDonough, “Residence, Dropping Out, and Delinquency Rates, Deviant Behavior 14, (1993): 109ff. The Abolition of Marriage, by Maggie Gallagher pp. 48-49
“Results like these are a reality check for people such as Peggy Drexler (”Raising Boys Without Men”) who argue that it is only poverty, and not father absence, that hurts children. Boys are hardwired to grow into men. But they are not hardwired to grow into good family men. That’s a job for mothers and fathers working together.”
Looking at statistics it’s proven that broken homes cause crime in adolescents into adulthood.
Families need to find ways to stay together or atleast attempt to be an effective part of their child’s life.

i disagree. yes parents should try to stay together for the child but if the parents are unhappy together they might end up hurting the child more that way than just splitting up. unhappy parents are a night mare to live with. they might spend more time fighting then actually taking care of the child. i feel like its bad for a child to see their parents disagree all the time and constantly fight. it sets a bad environment for the child to grow up in and learn. also most parents might not realize but the child does pick up on how they interact with each other and it might cause a long term effect in the child’s life. the nurture in the child’s life would be all wrong. it might cause the child to depend on outside things for happiness because home is such a negative influence. parents that are divorced seem to be a little bit happier. they have their own lives to worry about and are usually doing things they want to do. they have a clear mind and can take care of a child easier and be more involved in the child’s life. yes the child is going to have to deal with step parents sometimes but in some cases its just more love in the child’s life and a bigger family.

Next time you should read everything that is stated.
I said:
Families need to find ways to stay together or atleast attempt to be an effective part of their child’s life.
I never said the parents HAD to stay together, but if they can’t be together they should to still be in their child’s life to show them what is right or wrong.
That would be attempting to be an EFFECTIVE part (positive role) of their child’s life.
