As I stated previously, it is consistent with the thinking of a child to
think that one is responsible for the outcome of other people's actions.
It is what many of us are taught as children. As adults, however, we
recognize the accountability and responsibility of the individual for
their own actions.

This is further evidence of the problem of such thinking. An accomplice
to murder is not the murderer. An accomplice to theft is not the thief.
