To some extent, I wouldn't really blame the boy, children are not born criminal or fraudsters but the environment and the situation of things happening around them change them. It's the job of every parent to check up on their kids and not just assume, provide all necessary things needed and ensure they don't go looking for it illegally.
I don’t think there should no be excuse for crime, the environment which you grow, and no situation shouldn’t lead anyone into crime, I have seen people from a poor background, and they never choose to go into fraud. You talking about the Environment which the children grow, I will say no matter the environment which you grow, if you choose to involve yourself in crime, then you going to do that, and if you choose not to do that, then you won’t, no matter how bad a environment is, there are children that grow in the environment, and they don’t involve themselves in any illegal activities.
Not blaming the person or child who commits crime is wrong. There are many reasons why people turn to crime, some are addictions and uncontrollable greed. Children can also develop greed if they are exposed to bad stuff or not taught properly. Still there are children who are exposed to these things and they don't become like that.
For me, since I have passion on bitcoin I don't think it's bad for someone child to go into bitcoin, for me I will devote out time to teach my children bitcoin so that they will know the advantages and the disadvantages of bitcoin earlier before their time
Secondly they will know that it's their father that impact the knowledge of bitcoin for them, for me I can't condenm the fact of teaching so many people bitcoin, because I know quit well that bitcoin has taken over the world and children are willing to learn and know about Bitcoin without their parents concepts,it will be better for my children to know of bitcoin through me than to struggle outside to know bitcoin.
The topic is not only about that though. You can try to teach your kids good stuff, but if they have a lot of exposure online they may learn bad behavior and with Bitcoin they may try to steal money from others.
