57.6% of black children, 31.2% of Hispanic children, and 20.7% of white children are living absent their biological fathers.

The second sentence in your URL: "Millions more have dads who are physically present, but emotionally absent."

A lifelong contract to stay together as a "couple" even when their lives are drifting apart is no guarantee for happy childhoods.

 

Also the absence of the biological father doesn't mean that the children only have one parent / parental figure.
