1. A child responsible for child abuse???

   Injecting a child with an illegal substance is child abuse. Mr. Gagan risked his son's long-term health and set his son up to face the legal consequences of failing his drug tests, while teaching him that cheating is an acceptable way to win. It sounds like Corey was trying to survive in a very dysfunctional and controlling environment created by his father. It must have taken a great deal of courage for Corey to do the right thing and report his father to the authorities. Children do NOT have an obligation to protect their abusers from the consequences of their behavior, and it's rather surprising that you are suggesting that perhaps Corey should have tried to do so. My question is, why was Mr. Gagan not prosecuted for child abuse?

Define what responsibility means to you.
