    Best Wishes on the anniversary, and you guys deserve the greatest celebration possible. Wow! What a milestone , some married couples can't work it out to stay together for 33 days.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Juveniles will not be subjected to any real criminal penalty if/when caught.

    It is sad but true. I'm glad you are OK and your wife is uninjured.

    Your best course of action should they be caught, is to go after them (parents) civilly and try to collect some money for damages to the vehicle.
    Unfortunately you will end up paying for an attorney that will probably cost more than your damages, unless you can add court costs to the suit.

    In the current environment we have trending, the offenders end up getting more rights and empathy than the actual victims.

    I can tell you if I found out my kids had done that to your property/family, they'd be at your door apologizing in person and I'd be writing you a check for damages and tuning them up for stupid behavior.

    Most parents side with their precious, babies and never rest any blame on them for their actions.

    Keep your chin up, and have a good holiday!

    Oh your 100% spot on. Was just thinking tonight what if that lady had an infant in the back in a car seat. I pity what my dad would have done with me.

    Happy anniversary! I'm glad that you and your wife are both okay to enjoy it!

    I completely support trying juveniles as adults if the crime risked death or severe injury to the victim.

    Congrats on the anniversary Smitty. Cheers to another 33 blissful years. I'm glad you, your wife, nor the other driver were seriously injured. I hope the offenders are held accountable and change their destructive ways quickly. If not karma will teach them.
