Fatherhood Legislation
Submitted by Scott on Fri, 2001-05-04 19:49
Not PC (there he is again!) sent me this story from the Sydney Morning Herald about new legislation aimed at promoting "responsible fatherhood." While the bill is of course aimed at increasing child support payment compliance, the dialogue surrounding the bill confronts the problem of fatherlessness publicly. "Senator Bayh said 17 million American children were living without a father today, up from 5 million in 1960. Fatherlessness was the most profound problem Americans faced, he said. It cost the Federal Government billions of dollars each year because it led to juvenile violence, teenage pregnancy and failure at school." Source: Sydney Morning Herald [Australian newspaper]
