You're right, I forgot about Tim. Alfred seemed to have gone against his moral code as way to save Bruce from the destructive path he was on at the time. It didn't work, but it looks like Alfred would almost do anything to save Bruce, even at the risk of putting another kid in the line of fire.
It's funny being a fan of these characters, we know it isn't right for an underage person to put in such dangerous situation. Yet, we love these kids and cheer them on through their struggles.
For me at least, the way Damian has been set up as a character, being Robin isn't the best way to help this kid.
