If someone told me to go play in traffic I wouldn't do it, would you? Charles Manson, imo, isn't responsible for the spineless drones who lacked the intestinal fortitude to think for themselves. He didn't force them to do anything. He's a psycho for sure, but he didn't make them kill anybody either.

What bothers me about this case is that it involved an adult vs a minor. She contributed to the child's depression, but nobody 'makes' anyone commit suicide.
