We don't need the kid.  With the internet everyone can see them  buck naked 
and that is a truly horrifying thought--Theoporn!
 
I know, I know, don't give them any ideas...

I have my own read on the current situation in the Theosophical  Movement.

Firstly we do not have any charismatic real leaders who can  lead. We may
have many highly educated intellectuals (many are quit old,  reminding our
grandpas and grandmas) who are not seen as leaders even  though perhaps in
their egoistic minds they may be imagining they are the  rescuers of TM. The
TM got a real hit when the election nomination and  subsequent allegations
and the final secret coup attempt took  place.

Any potential member who reads about all of these would be  simply shocked
and perhaps confused too. In addition, we have not seen any  dramatic
creative and innovative ideas to restore the credibility of the  leaders.

When these kind of causes are at work, what do you expect? A  highly vibrant
and growing TM?

When the emperor has no clothes, we  have not found a kid yet who will call
the bluff.
