Ok am I the only one who thinks this is awful? This needs a deeper look into why this happened.

So, as teenagers, we're encouraged to partake in irreversible medical procedures, but don't have the option to make honest money to help out the family? If a teenager is seeking out a job like this, then they're definitely coming from a household where a parent can't/won't work.

That’s it? Sounds light to me.

WTF is going on in this Country I think the parents had to know again I ask why does anyone want to come and live here if I had the money I would leave

1.5M is literally a drop on bucket. Shameful.

How long before we start bundling toddlers in rags and sending them down chimneys again?

Nobody goes to jail? Can't even name company?
