who decides what abuse and negelect is? who sets the required standards? Are you so ignorant to believe that just because it's signed that it will be followed. Cheater, dirty cop, imbessler, abuse of power, tax fraud, just a few examples of contracts signed and not being followed. This does not even sound right in theory. I agree something need to be done. I am offended when it is said or implied that single parents produce bad adults for whatever reason. I am offended when it is said that children of single or unmarried parents well become criminals or burdens to society. I am a child of divorced parents. Raised by mother. father absent most of the time. Not abused or neglected. single working mother with no criminal record who works and goes to school. I am not extrodinary I an friends with like situation people. Maybe you are looking at the wrong stats. If I remember correctly the Menendez brothers are from successful married parents. The Colorodo shooting is as a result of a normal married couple as well. Think about it.
