I am going to deny it, yes. I come from a society where there are more single mothers than families with two parents. We're not a fucked up society. We have crime, just like every society in the world. We have poverty, just like every society in the world. But we're not "troubled." That's a basic fact.

Here's something for you. It doesn't prove or not prove that the children are in "less trouble", but it's pretty interesting. Single Parent Statistics - Average Single Parent Statistics
