The young boy did nothing wrong. He did not have a chance because he never really ruled. It was his father Orestes who put him in the throne. In their brief reign there was nothing theycould do. The empire was bound to fall. It was the incompetence of the Theodosian and Valentinian dynasty who failed to stop the Visigoths, Vandals, Franks etc. from infiltrating the empire, but, to be frank, they never could do anything.
