The Hundred Billion Dollar Man The hundred billion dollar man. No, he's not a new superhero with bionic limbs who can run through walls and is more powerful than a locomotive. The hundred billion dollar man is the personification of the annual cost of absentee fathers to American society. That was the conclusion of a 2008 report written by Christopher Einolf and the late Steven Nock for the National Fatherhood Initiative. The greatest plague to ever hit this country: it is the root cause for the greatest psychological, physical, emotional, mental, and social devastation in the history of the world. The disease is Father Deficiency. It goes beyond just being fatherless but also includes fathers who were present yet absent. Considered by most Americans the number-one social ill in the country, the devastation can be seen in the following statistics about fatherless homes compiled by the Department of Justice. 63 percent of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. 90 percent of all homeless and runaway youths are from fatherless homes. 85 percent of children who exhibit behavioral disorders are from fatherless homes. 71 percent of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes. 70 percent of youths in state institutions are from fatherless homes. 75 percent of adolescent patients in substance abuse centers are from fatherless homes. 85 percent of rapists motivated by displaced anger are from fatherless homes. 71 percent of teenage pregnancies are to children of single parents. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services Nearly 75 percent of American children living in single-parent families will experience poverty before they turn eleven. National Fatherhood Initiative A must read for every person who was reared without a father or didn't receive everything he or she needed from a father, this book is for every leader, teacher, and especially those who deal with youth.
