That link explains increased physical and sexual abuse in single parent households, you claimed a man in the household made it more dangerous for children, when children are more at risk in a single mother household. The bottom two links explain increased risk in homosexual couple households..[
Also, you are simply wrong, children from single parent and homosexual households are far more likely to have been physically and sexually abused. So your claim is wrong.
Chapter Five What Factors Contribute to Child Abuse and Neglect
How different are the adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships Findings from the New Family Structures Study
Same-sex parenting and children s outcomes A closer examination of the American psychological association s brief on lesbian and gay parenting
.
Let us start with 'Chapter 5'
Not one mention of being raised by homosexuals there. Not sure why you suddenly want to equate single parent with homosexual households.
Risk factors they mention:
Parent factors- personality/history of maltreatment/substance abuse/attitudes and knowledge/age
Family Factors- single parents families- families with lots of children- father absence- marital conflict- stress-
Child factors (not really relevant)
Environmental factors- poverty unemployment/social isolation
I am not sure how you think Chapter 5 supports your case.
Oh so that is what is tweaking you out.
What I said was this:
Men are more likely to molest than women- all men- all women- this is absolute- men are the molesters up to 98% of the time. Would you deny men or couples with men in them because they are more likely to molest?
And that is a fact
Your Chapter 5 even explains this:
- A study of 156 victims of child sexual abuse found that the majority of the children came from disrupted or single-parent homes; only 31 percent of the children lived with both biological parents. Although stepfamilies make up only about 10 percent of all families, 27 percent of the abused children in this study lived with either a stepfather or the mother's boyfriend.49
The statistics show how much more dangerous men are than women when it comes to child sexual assault.
http://www.abusewatch.net/pedophiles.pdf
Table 6- men are the abusers 88-99% of the time. Family members are the abusers 12-49% of the time.
Fathers- step fathers- grandfathers- brothers- all more dangerous than female family members.
IF you used consistent standards you would be saying that lesbian couples are the safest adoptive parents.
But instead you would deny adoption to every lesbian couple, and deny those children homes, even though they are more at risk- statistically for sexual abuse- than any household with a man in it.
oh now you want to use statistics. Hey let's step on over and discuss crime stats , shall we?
LOL....if people want to start making claims about things, I will refute them with statistics which refute their claims.
which is of course the point of debate, and completely reasonable, except when it comes to race on this board.
