Some Facts
- Since 1960, the number of American children without fathers in their lives has quadrupled, from 6 million to more than 24 million. Children without fathers in their lives are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. As the proverb goes, “One father is better than 100 teachers."
- In United States of America, Statistics reported tells that Children from fatherless homes are:
- 5 times more likely to commit suicide
- 32 times more likely to run away from home.
- 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders

- 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances (become drug addicts)

- 20 times more likely to end up in prison.

I sincerely feel and believe that if shared parenting is not immediately promoted by court uncle, our system and society at large and as the divorce rates are increasing, there will be catastrophic effects in the country. By exposing me and my friends of similar age and circumstance to the perils of parental alienation, India will also be creating the above statistics here as well. It will be in our best interest to preserve our cultural and family values as they are the pillar of our societal foundation.
In light of the above facts and figures, the concept of Shared Parenting needs to be given paramount importance in child custody matters and wherever possible the court uncle should emphasize on Shared Parenting or Joint Custody after working out the practical and logistical constraints.
Court Uncle!................... must understand that children need both parents.
