'To blame' as a verb. "He blames the popular kids and the jocks for making him have a terrible high school experience." Also, put the blame on, pin the blame on , lay the blame on? verbal expressions for those? maybe?

to blame (lay blame on, accuse, hold responsible, etc...) → akize, repwoche, bay tò, bay (subject) tò, blame, blanmen

egz:
1. Moun ki fè zak la, se pa li yo bay tò.
    The person who commits the act is not the one who was held responsible.

2. Poukisa w'ap blanmen m pou yon bagay ki pa menm fòt mwen?
    Why are you blaming me for something that's not even my fault?

3. Se konsa li ye.  Li toujou ban m tò pou tout sa ki rive.
    That's how he is.  He always blames me for everything that happens.

4.  Ou dwe konprann ke mwen pa ba w tò pousa ki pase w la.  Se pa fòt ou.
      You must understand that I don't blame you for what happened to you.  It's not your fault.

5.  Si yo fè kadejak sou fanm nan, se pa li pou n bay tò.
     or
     Si yo fè kadejak sou fanm nan, se pa pou nou ba li tò.
     If the women has been raped, one must not blame her.
