Both Salzman and Leving will respond to Jay Ambrose’s editorial in last Sunday’s Sun-Times (“No Fathers, More Killings,” July 1, 2012), where Ambrose appears to blame social dynamics for the problem of father absence. Salzman and Leving believe that father absence is an institutional problem.

“Father absence and neighborhood violence are both symptoms of the same problem: a judicial system that sends a message to unmarried or noncustodial fathers that they are not worth the institutional support necessary to validate their roles as parents and productive members of society,” said Attorney Salzman.
