You wrote to aries “However I don’t agree with your hashkafas regading how you relate to OTD’s and I think you are very trusting and a bit naive.

Whats that supposed to mean? Im pretty sure he has vast experience with these kids and knows what they are about and what to expect. I am also sure that there were kids that disappointed him. However if someone is doing it Lshem Shomayim he is happy with every child he helps and its not about keeping score or about us at all. Its about the kids. Even if you arent successful you still get schar for trying.
Im not sure what getting burned means in this context. If anything, it seems like he is being quite successful and he knows exactly how to deal with them. On the other hand you very likely have zero experience with these kids and technically have no right to argue because you cant discuss what you have no clue about. The only way to have a clue is to have shaychis with the kids, or with those who deal with such kids and hear what they have to say.
