can you offer any hard evidence that children (co-)raised by other family members than the mother,boarding school,helper, tutors, the family dog, are worse off than those brought up by a housewife-mum? Ever spend a thought about other influential factors, e.g. role models, stimulation, higher income equals better schools, international environment, independence, stronger bonds to friends/other family members, more challenging resulting in more resilient character, better network of influential/powerful/interesting friends etc etc etc?
No, I do not want to hear the really really gripping story of the daughter of a neighbours friend, I want to see some scientific EVIDENCE. Social study, by a neutral university/academic institution, NOT that great paper back you found online.
Spend a moment of reflection ( maybe while on a hunting break in your cave): could your one-dimensional, simplified and un-scientific way of looking at things evolve because YOU were brought up lacking any of the stimulating factors mentioned above?
This is the result of a 5 minute online search.
You probably could find material supporting your case ( albeit from far less reputable sources/publishing houses), but the VAST majority of studies does not.

Famous Boarding School Alumni - Boarding School Review
PS Owen Meany, it is impossible not to note the irony of your chosen alter ego, it's creator ( which by the way you will find in the "famous boarding school alumni list" ), the bio of the novel character and the personal story of John Irving. You gotta be kidding..
