But this should not surprise us. Eloise Anderson, former director of California's Department of Social Services, says, "Fully 70 percent of all prison and reform school inmates come from fatherless homes."

Long-distance carriers tell us that, on Mother's Day, Americans generate over 150 million phone calls, compared to less than 100 million for Father's Day. The greeting card industry observes a similar disparity between the numbers of cards sent to moms versus those sent to dads. This is not good news. Anderson says, "A boy in a single-parent home is twice as likely to be incarcerated as his peer living with both parents, regardless of race, income or education level."
