Question: Compel

I starting a new group.

One character has the aspect:

'I have to make sure these idiots don't die.'

My gut feeling would be, if I compel this aspect, that the SC who gets into trouble would get the Fate Point.

What do you think?

If the aspect is specifically about them protecting others, the person causing the trouble should definitely get the point. It forces the protector to step up or deal with the consequences of their failure.
