After three teens suffered injuries why were they fined the minimum? Once workers have been injured there should be increased penalties unless the workers were at fault (Playing Grab A$$, etc.)

..."The DOL investigation started in August after the agency received a referral from local law enforcement in Nebraska about possible child labor violations at the Grand Island plant. Investigators talked to employees at a middle school and high school in Grand Island who reported students showing up for class tired after working overnight shifts for JBS Foods.
In November, the DOL obtained a temporary restraining order against Packers Sanitation, prohibiting the company from committing child labor violations.
A federal judge in Nebraska entered a consent order in December requiring Packers Sanitation to comply with child labor laws at all its locations and employ an outside compliance specialist."
