WA teen loses legs because a company, the school, and the Department of Labor and Industry all fucked up and continue to do so.

Thousands of students enroll in work-for-credit programs, but a 16-year-old’s case shows life-altering consequences of risky jobs and murky oversight.
This kid still works for the company and his parents don't "blame" the company, saying it could have happened to anyone.....

The 16 year old was operating the trencher? Why? Operators make big money here for mostly any vehicle and have to have their CDL. Kinda does sound like neglect.
The fact the student did not make big money is why.
It should be criminal, as in the leadership at the company going to jail, and the school and Dept of Labor and Industry being punished for neglect by continuing to work the with company after the injury.
Its fucken crazy, these machines kill people. Minors should not be operating them.
