This is tragic and I pray for comfort for the boys family. I'm not sure what to think about this story. I've learned that reporters seldom tell the whole story, especially from some parts of the country. It sounds like the state is more worried about lost tax revenue than the value of the boys life. The article isn't clear on several things. They say the boy loved farming, the farmer may have been helping the boy have an opportunity that he wouldn't have had otherwise.

I'm sure we will soon hear of children being injured or killed by playing this pokyman game that's popular now. I don't mean to trivialize this young man's death, I'm just putting in perspective.
When I was 14 I was working 60+ hours a week and operating equipment, there were several young people that worked on the 16000 acre farm. Most of us needed the job to help support our families. Times were different then and common sense was more common but I will always be grateful for that job and the things I learned.
