    In actuality, their insurance premiums are likely going to skyrocket. A hand injury is worth quite a lot in workmen’s comp, full amputation even more. They typically also pay out all medical, and in the case of them using the child in an illegal area of work, they can likely also be sued.

    That said, the fine is a fucking joke. It’s basically nothing. Hope the kid sues for all they’re worth.
