"Well, are the fathers helping to support these kids? Very likely
not...."
----------

Not sure what country you live in but here in 'merica it is not
profitable to keep dad in the picture. You can get him to pay child
support (non taxable), alientate him from his kids (brainwash them) and
hook up with another dude (and milk his bank account as well) all
without getting married and still qualify for this 'welfare' progam.
It's called 'working the system' girlfriend.

Most of these ho's in 'merica have baybays by different fathers and
these females don't do this with 'keeping the father in the picture' in
mind.

This working of the system has systmatically lead to our current
fatherless society with all its ills and this sense of entitlement that
is so pervasive..
