Fallout from fatherless homes
Description
By some measures, Rochester has the highest percentage of fatherless households in the country. We meet mentors who are working on mitigating the effect of absent fathers, and we talk about what kids miss when fathers aren’t involved. In studio:
- Louis Curwin, mentor
- Mike Hennessy, executive director of Youth For Christ Rochester
- Felix Ortiz, mentor
