The owner of a meat business in western Michigan has been ordered to pay nearly $1,200 after a 17-year-old worker lost his hand in a grinder.

The fine is $1,143 BTW

    Correct but someone who is between the ages of 14 to 17 is considered a juvenile, and not a child. This dude was almost 18, in 2 months time, legally he’s an adult, in 2 months time, he isn’t going to magically mature into a less dumb person.

      A bar that served alcohol to someone who was two months from their 21st birthday would still get fined for selling to a minor. The law is the law.
