Re: Who's to blame?
If the child were to "become an atheist/agnostic", it is absolutely no one's fault. It is just that child's way of life and entirely normal. Ditto with drinking done in moderation.
Re: Who's to blame?
If Kid is told about halal/haram and taught that he shouldn't do haram activities but some common haram activities are done in front of him then he wudnt consider the halal/haram line a big thing. It will be easier for him to cross the line. So i cant totally blame Kid here
On the other hand If parents not only taught kids well but also provided them an environment where lies are considered BIG DEAL, eating non Zabiha chicken from Mcdonalds is looked upon as bad thing, use of foul language is not allowed and other examples like this are setup by parents; and kid still turns out bad then i think more responsibility goes to kids than parents.
While you are on the right track, it is not as simple and straight forward as the kid or the parent being at fault. We are a product of our environment and as kids and even as adults spend 70% of the time OUTSIDE of our home environment (eg. kids spend 8 hours a day at school!). We meet tons and tons of people on a daily basis who have a huge infleunce on our actions eg. peer pressure.

Parents, child and society as a whole are at fault.
