Solicitar a menores para tráfico de drogas

Explicación Simple

Si eres mayor de 18 años y le pides a alguien menor de 18 que te ayude a vender drogas, eso es un delito grave. También es peor si lo haces cerca de una escuela. La ley quiere proteger a los jóvenes de involucrarse en cosas peligrosas.

Es como cuando un adulto convence a un niño para que le ayude a robar galletas de la cocina. El adulto sabe que está mal y usa al niño para hacer algo que no debería.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Luis, de 19 años, ve a una chica de 16 años en su barrio. Le ofrece dinero para que le ayude a vender marihuana frente a la escuela. Si la policía los atrapa, Luis enfrentará serias consecuencias por haber involucrado a una menor.

Penalidades

Si un adulto solicita a un menor para tráfico de drogas, enfrenta un delito grave; en zonas escolares, la penalidad es más severa.
