I think that a child and an adult can be friends. A child needs models outside his immediate family. From the adult's perspective, of course, he is more of a mentor than a friend.
I had adult friends when 12-20, and with the one I met in my first year of Uni I am still friends, even if she is my mother's age. The other, may God rest her in peace, had also been close to me and I pray for her, mentioning her among my deceased relatives at the holidays dedicated to the commemoration of deceased. My mother knew them and had nothing against it. Not allowing me to visit them was the biggest punishment when I misbehaved.
At my turn, I had also a little friend, 16 years younger than me. We are still in contact, now she got married and has her own children. I attended her wedding. I had been her friend all her school time (uni included).
