This is the proposed bill - link .

A bill proposed in Wisconsin by Senator Glenn Grothman will target single parents by requiring the state’s Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board emphasize that nonmarital parenthood is a “contributing factor to child abuse and neglect.”

There are two ways that SB 507 could affect the citizens of Wisconsin. One is that it could open the door to helping struggling single parents through additional funding and services. However, the more devastating possibility is that it could label single parents as child abusers. This would mean that almost one-third of the entire state of Wisconsin would be labeled neglectful of their children.

Perhaps the amendment would provide funding to help keep married couples together and encourage people to get married, but that is still under the assumption that single parenthood is the reason for the prevalence of child abuse.

If this bill is simply to provide funding for struggling parents and fathers, why write the bill this way? Why not go about bringing in money in a way other than labeling good parents who are raising their children to be well-adjusted citizens as “neglectful”?

How would this affect single dads? We are finally reaching a point in society where “parenting” can mean a lot of different things, whether it is with two people, one person, opposite genders or the same gender. Men who are single parents work hard to raise their children the best that they can. Would emphasizing that single dads are neglecting their kids send us back to the dark ages?

I think a look at the research and statistics would reveal that the typical single dad does a far better job of parenthood than the typical single mom.

There are plenty of stupid bills proposed, but this one is pretty stupid indeed.

And they say that it can't become anymore crazy at the political level.. single or not.. not everyone can be a parent. I don't think relationship status really defines it.

I think the squeeze that the middle class and below are feeling from all aspects of the economy and nation have more to do with it than the number of parents in the household. Thanks in large part to the political parties that continue to run rampant over the heartbeat of this country.

Off-topic aside: I thought Deanna Ogle was Burt Farve's wife.

Or is that Deanna Worth-an-Ogle? [grin1]

Children of single parents get abused and neglected more. That is a fact. This doesn't mean it is cause and effect though.

It is also important to make the distinction between kids being at risk and kids being victims.

Single parenting is on of many contributing factors. Reducing the number of families that have to resort to single parenting may or may not reduce the risk.

It depends on why the parents are single. A young woman who is not ready to have children is more likely to be a bad parent because she has less chances to be a mature person. The risk taking, the self respect and the lack of thinking about consequences that lead up to being an unwed mother are all factors. As well as being brought up in a home with a young unwed mother.

This is why I support the House of Hope. They take young unwed mothers who are over high school age and give the resources and assistance they need to become good parents. This also gets them off public assistance and breaks the cycle of women who are unprepared to be a parent from having children, being on welfare and a drain to society.

There are solutions to this problem. We have to take the initiative and make a difference. Conservatives don't want to coddle the people who need help. The liberals don't want to force people into being accountable for their actions. The end result is the same. They are on their own and we have to hire police and build jails to deal with the failures. When we could have stepped up and prevented the waste of a human life and the thousands of dollars a day to imprison them. That should appeal to the Conservatives and the Liberals. Save money and save people.
