I always know labor protection is bad in China but honestly I don't expect it to be *that* bad even now. Anyway...

It appears a 12 year old girl had her arm injured in an accident while working at an illegal clay workshop. She reportedly hated school so her stepmom introduced her to the factory. And then the accident happened.

The amount the factory was ordered to pay is low but that doesn't surprise me because that's basically what you expect for adult employees. But I'm curious why the factory isn't shut down.
