This to me is the fault of the kid. Where it get complicated was that if the kid was prescribed a drug that while working on one thing, also drastically increased his impulsiveness. How much is the drug's fault - it did not actually create the behavior, how much was the train manufacturer - they built the flimsy lock; how much was it the booth operator's fault, and how much blame to we ascribe to the parents? In this case a drug would have had substantial influence, but it would not have specifically caused the kid to engage in that behavior. Rather in my opinion it substantially increases what the kid considers acceptible behaviors available. Before the kid wouldn't consider breaking in, after the drug the impulse is more easily acted on.
