Why is this constantly used as a defense? You're not a robot. If your policy is morally questionable, you are liable for the damage caused by implementing it.
The "I was just following orders" defense hasn't been valid since we hung all those Germans who tried it after WWII.
Unfortunately, from a legal standpoint, it's difficult to hold the specific people responsible if the policy is shit. Hopefully, this incident can result in changing the policy.
If your laws don't let you directly punish every single person involved in the process of grooming and transing an autistic kid, you've written your laws wrong.
The problem with any written law is that it tells someone how to get around the rule.
Figuring out you have to have a catchall "no shitheads" clause and then also figuring out how to make sure no shithead ever gets to put themselves in a position to enforce that clause is the key to everything.
