Many School Shooters are the

Product of Broken Homes
School shootings have been increasing and there
is a strong probability that this is the product of
single parent homes that are fatherless, the
result of a failed social experiment by the family
courts. Family courts force children into broken
homes with single parents just because the
parents divorce or separate even when both
parents are fit.

Broken Homes are Leading to

Adolescent Epidemics
The following statistics were submitted by Paul
Clements, a father in this fight, who has shared
this compiled research. Much of the research is
gender based because there has been a strong
father initiative over the last decade to get
father’s back into children’s lives after a
monotropy standard (which by the way was
implemented from mental health workers that the
court adopted as the tender years doctrine), this
is where the belief was that mother’s were better
suited for parenting children, which drove
gender-biased family court policies like tender
years doctrine, and caused the loss of father’s in
children’s lives.

“Look at the detriment to children and society

which comes from sole maternal custody” writes
Paul.

SINGLE MOTHER HOMES

Statistics

married, and only 6.5% widows. Brookings
Institute, “Assessing the Impact of Welfare
Reform on Single Mothers”, Part 2, 3/22/04

“The strongest predictor of whether a person will

end up in prison, is that they were raised by a
single parent”. C.C. Harper and S.S. McLanahan,

Sociological Assoc., San Francisco, CA, 1998

detention centers serving long sentences, were
raised by single mothers. Wade Horn, “Why

Growing up without a father could permanently

alter the structure of the brain, and produce more
children who are more aggressive and angry.
Children brought up only by a single mother have
a higher risk of developing deviant behavior,
including drug abuse, new research suggest. Dr.

“(I)n a recent study by the Baltimore-based Annie

E. Casey Foundation. Comparing statistics for its
Kids Count report, the organization reported that
Detroit ranks No.1 in unmarried births among the
nations’ 50 largest cities. Of the 16,729 babies
born in Detroit in 1997, 13,574 were black, 1,679
were white and 817 were Hispanic. Seventy-one
percent were born to unmarried mothers. This
compared with a state average of 33 percent and
a 50-city average of 43 percent.”

Detroit is the worst offender on our list of

America’s most dangerous cities, thanks to a
staggering rate of 1,220 violent crimes committed
per 100,000. “By Thanksgiving, 2012, the city
had surpassed the 344 homicides reported in all
of 2011. As of Dec. 16, the city had recorded 375
murders.”

The long-term health effects of broken families

were often devastating. Parental divorce during
childhood emerged as the single strongest
predictor of early death in adulthood. The grown
children of divorced parents died almost five
years earlier, on average, than children from
intact families. The causes of death ranged from
accidents and violence to cancer, heart attack
and stroke. Parental break-ups remain, the
authors say, among the most traumatic and
harmful events for children.

The Longevity Project ,By Howard S. Friedman

and Leslie R. Martin (Hudson Street Press) 0020

Fix Family Courts would like to point out that the

last paragraph of the above statistics should be
justified. It is not the divorce itself that is causing
the adulthood early death, but the result of the
child having a parent reduced to a visitor and that
parent’s authority stripped from the child, which
strips the security and stability from that child that
is having the dangerous effect on children. You
do not strip millions of children of their fit and
loving parent more than a divorce already causes
and make these children second-class citizens
and expect these children not to show any
permanent damaging effects.

Thank you Paul for supplying these statistics.

There have been many others that have brought
these statistics to us in the past as well, Mike
Whitney, David Mortimer, Thommy Noodlez, Joe
Barrow, and Thomas Fidler, to name a few
prominent men going through great efforts to
assist parents with protecting their children.
There are many parent soldiers out there that
were just regular parents who have been hurt in
this battle that have become a soldier in this
effort to help stop this epidemic from being
repeated in the next generation. We thank all of
you for sharing with us and coming together to
end this practice once and for all.
