I believe the family structure has been devastated by the loss of or minimization of power in family roles to include the presence of fathers in the home. The human family is facing some of the same types of issues similar to the elephant family, where the males are missing due to massive numbers being killed for ivory. The missing elephant older elephant bulls have thrown the natural balance of the elephant family out of order. With the elephants not having the older male elephants present to teach and discipline the younger male elephants especially during critical stages of growth and development, the family of elephants are in a family and community crisis, resulting in the young male elephants acting out in violent ways never witnessed before in the history of the elephant family structure. The human family is not very different than that of the elephant family.
With the absence of the father in homes in numbers greater than ever in our past, the young human males are acting out in ways never witnessed before in history.
