The research compares 5-12 year old children of addicted fathers with those of non-addicted fathers. This experiment was carried out on one hundred families of the addict, in comparison to another one hundred non-addicted families. These children have not been subjects for social scientists and health experts because of the following facts: 1) They live with their parents, 2) They are not criminals yet, 3) They show no signs of improper behavior. In this study which is conducted through the experimental and analytical method, the results indicate that functions of the two family groups are totally different (72.08%) from the socialization of children, father's supportive and economic roles and their social relationship point of view.
