Those numbers are hard to picture, but they are real broken lives and families. But some folks aren't just sitting by and watching, they are doing something to counter side effects of fatherlessness.

Why is fatherlessness an epidemic in America? Carey Casey from the National Center for Fathering answered this question and others on CBN News Sunday.

Others on the front lines fighting the battle of fatherlessness? The Rennaissance Movement Music uses positive Hip-Hop music to change the culture that encourages men to leave their children.
