Who is guilty

OK this is something we had to discuss in our work place communication class, and there were some heated arguments about this , so thought of getting u guys opinion as well . OK this is the story , a 16 year old year kid is caught by the police for drug trafficking, and when he was questioned ,he told that he did it to help his father to pay a loan he took from a lone shark ( a place who loans u money with a HUGE interest and which is illegal) because the lone shark has threatened to kill the father if not. so in Ur opinion who is Guilty? the boy (who is still a minor) , the father or the lone shark. and what should be the punishment for the guilty party??

The loan shark should be punished for committing something illegal. The father should be punished for patronising an illegal business. As for what the punishment should be, I have no idea.

The kid should undergo some counselling to make him feel better about himself and teach him how to get help the proper way the next time he needs it. Considering his age and the fact that he was only trying to help out, he must have been through enough emotionally. We shouldn't make it worse for him by punishing him.
