When I was around 20, I worked computer support at a school with pupils in the lower teens. Avoiding 1-on-1 time was basic guideline there for staff who were not teachers or otherwise had no special reason to have 1-on-1 time with a pupil.

One reason was to protect the kids, obviously, but if the friends of a girl of 15 years of age see her coming out of a room with an adult, ideas and rumours could start to live a life of their own even if nothing happened. So it could protect the adult too.

I took this to heart and think people should just follow it in general, in digital lives and elsewhere. Grown-ups who have no business being 1-on-1 with a kid, that's just gonna make anyone wonder. Better to just avoid it.
