I do find it extremely presumptuous for LSM handlers to assume these roles, in effect "playing God" with the lives of His children. In doing so, they sidestep the roles of the respective parents and the LC elders most familiar with these young people.

I would love to see a life-time study of this! Yes, just like any organizations may track the results of their labors, the LC should too!
Obviously I'm kidding. I can only speak to what I know about my locality but that would, in whole, be a depressing study. I will say they've taken some steps back in recent years, probably bc they saw the trend. But, they're still very involved in knowing who is going to "court" who, the details, etc.
