that is very very tragic luckily i still have all limbs intact and hope to keep it that way. i have given up all hearing in my left ear from farm equipment and hearing aid in the right. any 15 year old that has been around the farm knows the dangers and if he still wanted to be there was getting paid or even working for trade(gas to go to school in his car, i have even worked deals with local kids you help me bale hay and i will give you hay for your 4-h goats and animals). it was most likely a freak accident that could have happened to a 45 year old. at 15 if had been around farms he knew the dangers just a freak accident. i do agree that he should be compensated for his loss by the insurance but dont agree that he should be finded for violating child labor laws. some kids like doing it some kids its born into his blood. its good for kids to a be working b be on a farm. not out doing drugs causeing problems. laot of farm kids have been around tractor etc are safe responsible drivers. its good the kids are out working anywhere but farm life i think gives them even more but doing anything is great. too many kids i see are just lazy woudlnt even move to save their own life. thats sad that he got fined for child labor laws i agree the kid shoudl be compensated for his loss but not fined. i have known some farmers around that abuse kids and stick them under grain bins etc in crawl spaces shoveling out corn etc with no respirators etc i think that is a bad thing to be having a kid to do and i dont know the details but from the sounds of it that wasnt the case here that the farmer told the kid hey stand here and watch over this fast spinning object and dont let it quit or something like that. its sad cause like i say i have given hay and straw to kids who help me bale hay and they used it for thier goats etc for 4-h gave kids gas on farm to get to school for help too
