We choose this topic because a lot of people in this part of Brooklyn are unfortunate to not have fathers. We came up with a scenario of a young girl without a father. It shows how her and her boyfriend broke up, and since she had no one to talk to, she ended up going to another boy on the street . The second situation is her and her boyfriend breaking up but this time she had a father to talk to so she ended up in the right hands. We also had interviews with some of the employees and interns here at ST JOHNS RECREATION CENTER. We asked questions concerning how it was for them growing up without fathers and would you let them back in your lives. Then we asked the employees who work with fatherless children how it impacts how the child acts.
