  • The core of the question is the difference between a) person A(David, Elaine, Harry) is actively preventing person B(Charlotte, Fred, Gina) from exercising their free will and b) person A(Alice) giving bad advice to person B(Bob) who as a person of sound mind, is responsible for the final decision that they make. Case b) would have no legal repercussions. Case a) could have legal repercussions: #2 guardian rights over a minor ; #3 Personation of another to the derivement of that person ; #4 multiple charges possible Commented Jan 26, 2021 at 21:38
