Like all laws, child labor laws are there because of abuse in the past. A 15 yr. old has no business around a grain auger. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Either the farmer knew the law and ignored it or he didn't study child labor laws enough to know. I'd say he got off easy. I'll bet he wouldn't take $10,000 for his arm! Children must be protected in our society because there are too many adults that will abuse them. I do agree that there are some cases that just don't make sense, such as having a legal drivers license but can't drive a pickup on the job. A farm can be a deadly place for any kid or adult. Especially thos non-farm kids who are doing jobs beyond their years with machinery.
