Based on your post and your assumption that your child will do everything you teach him to, I will make the assumption that you have no children.

Close ... but no cigar. In the same manner that I have shown him not to play with fire, stick things into the electrical socket, or play with the guns that I have in the house, I have emphasized that there is a right and there is a wrong and that doing wrong leads to unwelcome consequences.

If he set himself on fire playing with matches, I wouldn't blame the match company. If he sticks a screwdriver into the electrical socket, I wouldn't blame the power company or the tool maker. If he shoots himself playing with one of my guns, I wouldn't blame the company that made the rifle or the gunshop that sold it to me.

I teach him what I believe to be important to his survival and development. The consequences of his actions are his ... and I have told him so.

"Stupidity cannot be cured with money or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity."
