For example, studies have found that children that from single-mother households are 5 times more likely to commit su***de than children from both unbroken households and single-father households, 9 times more likely to drop out of high school, 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances, 14 times more likely to commit r**e, 20 times more likely to end up in prison and 32
times more likely to run away from home. The list does not stop there, single-mother households also account for 70% of all teen pregnancies, 70% of all child murders, and they account for the majority of filicide cases, which means yes, a child living in a single-mother household is the most likely to be
murdered by their parent. Most at this point will probably think that the stepfather is the main killer and reason; however, studies have found this to be false and that stepparents are no more likely to kill children than their
biological counterparts.
