There are some specific structures and incentives that create situations that make it easy to groom children. We can work to correct those.
For example Scouts relies (desperately) on volunteers. So unfortunately the “trusted adult” is perhaps sometime TOO interested in volunteering. And the Scout group sadly doesn’t think deeply enough cause they’re just happy to have a parent volunteer. You can see how this can create a dynamic that attracts the wrong kind of person that want to groom families to prey on children.

The work involved aquiring the kinds of fortunes that make you able to effect change weeds out anybody who doesn't just care about money. Popularity based positions get dominated by narcissists. Bad actors are just more dedicated than the good ones. It's a hard situation to fix barring the complete elimination of privileged positions.
