The title is a little misleading:
30% of Paternity tests prove children fathered by other men.
That's 30% of the cases that go to DNA / blood testing, not 30% of the whole population. I'm sure you didn't mean to insinute this, about did a spit take when I saw it.

Isn't that what a "Paternity Test" is?
I don't think there is anthing misleading about the title.

My first thoughts too, lelio. 30% of the cases that raised suspicion not 30% of all children born. Fear this is getting out of hand. In my own family, there are many who insist a particular girl is not the child of her father. That the girl is the spit of her father's sister at that age carries no weight at all. Quite frustrating to see this. And sad. For the child's sake, I would think the benefit of the doubt would apply.

You are right, of course.

30% of the time when men suspect that they are not the father, DNA testing confirms their suspicions.

The way he has written it seems clear enough to me. I have noticed, though, that some mothers or at least women in this forum get particularly nervous and antsy when the paternity fraud topic comes up, and they seek to find fault wherever they can...

Random studies made in Europe do not bear out your assumption. The "real" numbers are probably higher. It seems that adultery is a more common practice among humans than we would like to admit. At least in the west it is.

Good point. I was scanning to see if someone made that rather obvious point. This is 30% of the cases where there is some doubt or reason to test.
