Peri's not a child, though. So it's not as sketchy. The problems when it comes to Peri are very different. (And I presume people don't ship Doctor/Adric, that would just be... Ew. The Doctor is basically Adric's father-figure.) With Peri, her run highlights the issues with the power imbalance between the Doctor and the Companion.
I don't ship Doctor/Companion a lot, but when I do, oh, I do. See I don't. Peri is sort of the odd one out, but it's partly because they spend 95% of their time arguing, so they feel very couple-y. OTOH the Doctor is sort of oblivious to her (as in, what she wants), even as he cares about her, so it's an odd one.
