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!
