Why do 1 in 5 U.S. women have kids with more than one dad?

Dads I want to give you a pep talk. The involvement of a father can dramatically reduce the odds of a child from getting involved with substance abuse. Those kids also live in a safer home, are more physically active and stand a much greater change to avoid poverty. Go dads, you rock, well most of you rock.

Australian bullying wrap up and tough love from dad

It bothers me when a youth does something criminal and then the media talk to the neighbors or parents. “Well, they were such a nice young child, it just doesn’t seem like something that they would do”, the parent would say.
