Do you say "bah-NO-BOW" or "BON-a-Bow"?
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

I didn't read Alyson's link. But from another source I read that he wants it to be known (through legislation) that single parents are more likely to be child abusers. Not that they're all abusers.
Yeah, it's part of a bill saying that the state should do some child abuse awareness campaigns, train people who work with kids to recognize the signs of abuse, stuff like that. He wants to add language to all the materials that would say that single parents are more likely to abuse their kids.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He cites studies or something, right?

Is it true that single parents are more likely abusers? I've never read that anywhere, but I've also never studied demographic trends in child abuse.

one of you slow-cooker people need to come stay with me for a week or so and try out recipes for me & mac (spend your days watching movies and snuggling cats). also -t should come out for a stay. I am JUST SAYING! my lovely backyard and an empty house during the days and ME! to entertain each evening, more people should be visiting me. (ignore all previous posts about emotionally unstable household and extreme clutter).

I'd say it's more the other way around. The single parents are trying to get the kids away from an abusive spouse.

I say bah-N0-BOW (you say BON-uh-bow...huh, that doesn't quite scan. Calling the whole thing off)

Ugh. Cat-snuggling. That's gross.
I have realised that my home desk is more spartan than my work desk.
However, I haven't eaten at my dining room table in over a month. Still, I don't work there either, I just rest things. I have scads and scads of paper all over my apartment, but none of it is in process. It's either unopened/unfiled mail, or drawings I haven't worked out where to store (and I have drawn just the once in 4 months). I'm incredibly messy, but somehow it's not a desk thing. It's an everywhere else thing.

HHS says yes. [link]
Children living with single parents may be at higher risk of experiencing physical and sexual abuse and neglect than children living with two biological parents.45 Single parent households are substantially more likely to have incomes below the poverty line. Lower income, the increased stress associated with the sole burden of family responsibilities, and fewer supports are thought to contribute to the risk of single parents maltreating their children.
