Gang Violence: America’s Silent War“

So who are these young men who call themselves ‘gangs,’ who rape, pillage and devour our communities? They are young men existing on the fringes of society from broken homes. Their fathers are gone. Many are institutionalized in prison, stuck in the muck and mire, unable to provide training, guidance, and nurturing assistance that gives their sons a chance at a healthy life.”

The rampant spread of gangs in our country is the direct result of fatherlessness. Demographically speaking, the most reliable predictor for gang activity and youth violence is neither social class, nor race, nor education, but fatherlessness. No longer do we have to travel abroad to find war; America is making war on itself.
