Why are there even kids working there? How old was this "teen"? What is wrong with the USA (rethorical question)?
Your numbers (i assume correctness) are making it even more worse. Disgusting even. That's like fines not bound to income. A major kick in the nutsack for the poor and a slightly more expensive, but totally neglectable, parking-ticket for the rest.
Many of them are immigrant children.

CNN obviously won't identify the child, but I would not be at all surprised if the child was an immigrant.
Which would exactly change what? Still a teen that shouldn't work in such a place. Maybe an hour a day filling shelfs in a supermarket. Not working at a deboner in a soul-crusher.
It doesn't change anything. It's an explanation of why the kids are hired. They're immigrants that came across the border illegally and are being exploited. They are being helped along by Republican state laws. It's all racism.
Patently HHS didn't think it was important to follow up on phone calls they receive. WTF?
Adam Conover also has a video breaking down the issue.
