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.

I’m pretty sure some smart phones cost more than that. This might as well be pennies to the owner.
That poor kids hand barely registered as a cost of doing business. I’d be surprised if that’s more than a weekor two of wages too.
