Here comes Big Daddy.
New York City is about to become the first in the United States to name an official in charge of fatherhood.
The new post will oversee a wide variety of expanded services involving 13 city agencies, and it is aimed at encouraging men to become better dads.
“Those of us lucky enough to have grown up with a father know how valuable that support can be,” Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday, announcing the move at the Fortune Society in Queens.
