>I disagree with you here. If you give your kid a task, give him everything needed to complete the task including instructions, and the kid does it wrong, is it your fault?

Yea, I saw a boss who operated that way. I was working at a large bank and oneday all systems went down. 2+ days later things were back up.
Investigation showed that restores done after a system failure were "faulty". Backups that had been running identically for many months were not useable!!!
When asked how that could happen the BOSS of the department answered "I don't know why the kid did them that way".

Thankfully, the BOSS was demoted and the kid involved had no repercussions (he only ran the jobs and neve set them up or had responsibility to authorize them).

So, to answer your question, you have a job to do for someone and you give it to a kid and he screws up, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE! Simple.
