What is really interesting about these statistics is that it is not really "single" parent per se but the reason for it. If you look at children raised by a single parent where one spouse died the statistics show they are more like two parent families than children of divorced parents. It is absolutely true that many, if not most, kids raised by a single parent turn out OK but it is undeniable the negative impact of a lack of a father in the house has on kids. What is frightening to me is the percentage of black children born out of wedlock that never have a father figure. Just another strike against an already at risk population.
