Sit this one out. That's not what its typically like at all. And trying to suggest people trying to work with at-risk kids are all pedos is disgusting and a reason why too many people don't help. Because they don't want to deal with clown takes like this.
I know this surprises those of you who like to scream virtue signaling virtue signaling all the time, but there are lots of people out there who actually care about other people, especially children and try and make a difference in their lives.
There is a SIGNIFICANT difference between people who work for programs who help at-risk kids and those who text 14-year olds about "boys" and say they "miss them".
You know for a **** fact that if it came to light that people working for those organizations were telling these kids that they "miss them so much" and were texting them privately they would be immediately fired for inappropriate behavior.
I am 100% for helping the youth and stuff like the big brothers program is great (and in my area, it typically is teenagers/young adults matched with kids, not full grown adults), but that is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THIS.
Serious question - if you worked for Big Brothers and Sisters, and you had an employee who was texting 14-year olds "I miss you", groping 17-year olds on stage, rapping about how "bad' a high schooler was, and whatever else he has been DOCUMENTED DOING (so who knows what else we don't know), would you let that guy spend 1 on 1 alone time with a 14-year old? Like honestly?
I'm not commenting on your fictional scenario. I'm not following the dis track thing and with how you you are framing other things I have zero reason to trust your framing of what you are suggesting is the tenor of some conversation Drake had.
I'm simply saying the Big Brother/Sister organization pairs adults(not 18 year olds typically) with at risk kids and these are often the only positive role model in their life. There are tons of stories of how much of a difference they made.
I am thinking whatever Big Brother program and whatever I am thinking of here where I am is a bit different. There are definitely programs here where younger adults / teenagers pair with early teens. It is not some completely unsupervised event or anything liek that. I am sure the program you are talking about exists in some capacity here as well - I actually have no clue on that front.
The thing is... I am not making a fictional scenario - that is all verified undeniable things that Drake has done with young girls. Drake was texting that to Brown, he groped a 17-year old at a concert and kissed her when he was like 23-24 and made a jail bait type comment, he rapped about high schoolers looking "bad", and then there is the whole Bella Harris thing on top of it all. That is not fictional - that is reality.
Are there those who use programs like this to prey on children? Sure. But they are by far the exception and shouldn't be used to mislead people about really important work.
You could make whatever point you want to make on Drake without disparaging others with a false narrative. But you probably still will so carry on.
Where the hell did I disparage others with a false narrative? Tor_Raps made up some false narrative that I think anyone who speaks to a 14-year old is a pedo. I have made it quite clear that is not what I said, as the context of what is being said and why the conversations are taking place are massively important.
I played sports growing up, and doing so was alongside a lot of people (boys and girls) who had their lives greatly impacted by the work of adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. who were a parent figure for these kids. But I can tell you one thing - I guarantee those people did not text those kids how much they missed them. And I also guarantee those coaches spent more time with those kids in practices and tournaments than Drake ever did with Millie Bobby Brown.
Like I said - context is VERY important.
