I am wondering if any here feel that organizations that promote one on one relationships between youth and adult should be eliminated:

But what mattered to the children were not the activities. It was the fact that they had a caring adult in their lives. Because they had someone to confide in and to look up to, they were, in turn, doing better in school and at home. And at a time in their lives when even small choices can change the course of their future, the Littles were also avoiding violence and substance abuse.

I don't think so, but I do think that there should be training for both kiddos and adults so that they can recognize grooming and adhere to rules requiring meetings in public during the day to develop the relationships, as well as good (not just background checks) screening.
