SAN ANTONIO -- It's a boot camp just for dads.

A graduation ceremony for the "Compadre y Compadre" program was held Wednesday night. The program was established by The Children's Shelter and helps men become more nurturing dads.

News 4 WOAI talked with Abel Gallardo, who just graduated from the program and now has full custody of his kids.

"This program is very important, because it shows me I can do it," explained Gallardo. "There's a lot of fathers out there that think you can't do it. But you can."

This was the second group to graduate since the program started.

The Oblama administration is a joke, the world leaders view him as a joke, the financial sector views him as a joke, the judicial sector views him as a joke, the military views him as a joke and anyone that follows his line, is a joke..... They are clueless to what is really happening and i feel sorry for them.... totally clueless....

90% of all prision inmates come from single parent households. 75% of the entire Prision population is miniorities. The Miniority communities need to change entirly when it comes to morals. These communities have little to no morals and just a bunch of sperm donors who avoid lifes responsabilities. Just saying

No one taught you how to make kids, but now you need to be taught how to love them? Something's wrong with this picture.
