Fatherless on Fathers Day Keep on Living - Jun 16,2013

Happy Fathers Day To All of the Responsible Fathers Take the National Fathers Pledge Fathers Footprints - "Walk a little slower daddy," said a child so small. "Im following in your footsteps and I dont want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes theyre hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me. Someday when Im all grown up, Youre what I want to be;Then I will have a little child Wholl want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you." Fatherlessness is a crisis in America, one that undergirds many of the challenges that families are facing. When dads arent around, young people are more likely to drop out of school, use drugs, be involved in the criminal justice system, and become young parents themselves. President Obama grew up without his dad & said that being a father is the most important job he has. Thats why he is joining dads from across the nation in a fatherhood pledge...that well do everything we can to be there for our children and for young people whose fathers are not around. www.fatherhood.gov Resources for Fathers Watch A Scripted Episode of An Absent Father
