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.

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.
