Is It Their Fault?

Sometimes the accuse try to blame others for their actions. We usually view this as an excuse to get out of the dilemma they find themselves in. But what if the accuse is a young follower; by that I mean someone who may be mentally challenged and find themselves following the lead of someone they trust. Should they then be held responsible for their actions.?

Maybe the question should be; should they be held more responsible than the person who led them astray? This may be debatable but one should question the motives of the guilty party who may have gotten off lightly. Did they intentionally lead the mentally challenged astray?
