If I am completely wrong then support of single parent families reduces the number of single parent families or at least keeps the number from increasing. Correct or am I wrong again?

Single aprent families do not automatically mean failure and nuclear families do not necessarilay mean sucess but the sucess rate is lower among single parent families.

I just heard today about a couple who kept their 5 and 10 year old sons in dog cages.
