This the common refrain in news reports of the riots in London and other cities.

Well, why don’t the parents of these youngsters stop them going out on the streets and looting and burning shops?

25% of children have no contact with their fathers, and 70% of youth crime is carried out by this 25% of the youth population. It follows, then, that the majority of the young rioters we see on our TV screens have been raised without their fathers, and their mothers have been unable, on their own, to keep them from crime.

For the last generation, fathers (and sometimes mothers) have routinely been excluded from any involvement in raising their own children by our mindless Family Laws. Fathers who are excluded from seeing their children can do nothing to stop them rioting and looting.

Chickens are coming home to roost.
