I agree with Penn that you have to blame the perpetrator

But in this case, I don't because he was mentally handicapped. If a 5 year old child shoots his friend with a gun, do you blame the kid? No, you blame the parent for leaving the gun in an easily accessible place.

So, shouldn't it make sense that someone whom is mentally handicapped (one who is also under the responsibility of other adults/guardians) would also not be blamed for an event that wouldn't have happened upon close and necessary supervision by said adults/guardians?
