Santa: “More naughty children because of single-parent homes”

santa4Now, normally I wouldn’t give this guy the time of day, since he’s with FRAMED et al, but I really think it’s sinking lower than low to put this fatherless drivel in the mouth of Santa (pictured here in a typically hectoring stance).

Santa has . . . firmly stated that due to the negative impact on children by family courts and single parent households, there is a chilling rise in the number of naughty children around the world and societies are in danger of becoming totally frozen in chaos. Santa claims that the Family Courts are causing a negative “snowball effect” when it comes to the stability and happiness in the families and children of the world today.

Santa emphasized that Fatherless children and homes are one of the leading causes of these breakdowns in society and the alarming rise in numbers of naughty children. He also mentions that Motherless homes are on the rise too and that no single parent home regardless of the parent’s gender is a healthy situation for any child. Santa also states that as some mothers lose custody, it is the fathers that have their children taken away from them in the majority of all custody disputes throughout the developed world. Santa believes that the Family Courts are one reason behind this destruction of the family.

Funny, I’ve never known Santa to show the slightest inclincation to get on a soap box and lecture us about family composition.

You know, I really feel for men who have been given a bum rap by the courts and simply miss their kids. I just wish people could have a conversation about this without resorting to so many distortions.

    This is just….creepy. It is in bad taste and alarming to put this crap in the mouth of Santa. And to say that all single parent households are unhealthy for children???? I can’t stand that! It is simply not true. I think there are a lot of nuclear families that are unhealthy for children. It isn’t black and white like that. Thanks for this post!

    Hysterical and alarming, Erin! What must Santa think?! But I supposed we shouldn’t be surprised. People keep telling us they know what God thinks too.

    Yeah, the “all” was pretty sweeping.
