My point is someone – me, you, we, have to do something.

Many asked for a copy and this week I will present copies to several dozens of them in hopes that they can gain inspiration that would lead to a turnaround. I happened to have a copy of my book about choices and I let them see it for reference. They appreciated me taking the time to talk to them. According to the counselor, these were murderers, gang members, drug offenders and others. As I spoke to these young men, I was pleasantly surprised at how open they were to my message. I am not calling talk shows and just lamenting the male problems and problem with fathers, I am doing something and trying to find new ways of doing more.Ī few weeks ago, I decided to share my story of hope and inspiration with a group of young men who were sentenced by the court system to undergo counseling rather than sending them to prison. It made me ask myself, ‘Am I doing enough? What can I do to help steer men in the right direction, to rescue and rehabilitate and, better yet, to prevent men from being in these positions?’ I am not big on complaining, I am an action person. We do have a reason to complain about the status of men but complaining is not good enough. When I say focus on men, I am not talking about complaining about men. This reminded me of the need to focus on men. Young men who could have been taking their children to summer school or a church program, but here they were about to spend the weekend or longer in a cage. I looked into the faces of these young men and I saw a sense of tragic hopelessness. On the same drive, I noticed policemen apprehending two young men in a vehicle stopped on the side of the road. Later that same day, I was driving along Thompson Boulevard and noticed a very interesting sight an unmarked vehicle pulled up to the police headquarters and out of the back of the SUV the policemen pulled young men out by their handcuffs. I would go out on a limb to say this is not a good picture. The domino game was just across from the local numbers house. Absent men.Ī pastor friend of mine recently went to speak at a church in one of the Family Islands and lamented the fact that there were almost no men in church, but that at the same time the church service was going on, a large group of men were under a tree on Sunday morning drinking and playing dominoes. Men not taking their role and responsibility seriously. Not only do we have a problem with fathers, we have a problem with men. According to the Department of Statistics, children born to single mothers is somewhere between 65 to 70 percent and possibly even higher if the latest figures were to come out.

We talk about it often but what are we doing about it? I was recently on a local talk show and it reminded me of the problem we have with fathers and the need to talk about solutions. As a society we have a problem with fathers, or should I say the lack of good fathers. The year is 2019 and the statistical landscape is, to put it mildly, less than encouraging.
