47. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I run a non-profit that organizes adult mentors working with kids just like that 13-year old. We do this every week. First, with regard to all the racial slurs shot my way, this group is a melting pot of all races. More than half the students are African-Americans and Hispanics, because we try to help the lowest income neighborhoods. But we don't do anything different based on the races of the students or the mentors. It simply isn't an issue. So if anybody wants to imply otherwise about me, they can go fuck themselves.

Now let's talk about reality. A legitimate operation will be fully bonded, will have a physical liability policy of at least a half million bucks. And most importantly, any legitimate organization that pairs adults with young children outside the presence of their parents will carry PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT insurance. It is damned expensive, let me tell you, and we don't even do road trips like this one. And in maintaining this policy, the insured is required to periodically show that they have clearly documented and consistently followed procedures that protect the students under their care. For example, our procedures never permit any adult to be alone with any student -- EVER. Students are always within plain view of at least two adults. There are no closed doors in any of our sessions, other than the perimeter of the building. Parents are invited to participate in every session. etc. etc. etc. That is what is expected of legitimate businesses teaching young children.

So if somebody can show me that the two guys who took this young girl on the road trip are associated with a school or business that carries a professional conduct policy such as I have described, which covers activities like this road trip, then I will take back every word of what I said and admit that I completely misjudged the situation.
