Stolen bike court case - has anyone been down this road?

Glad I have seen these thread as my bike was stolen by two young criminals of 14 years old who have now been placed on the Young Offenders Registry... The Police haven't given them a criminal record as apparently it is there first offence?? Complete crap! Anyway, could anyone advise me if the parents can be held responsible or forced to pay some compensation... The two young criminals conveniently can't remember what happened to the bicycle after they took it out of the library... If anyone can give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated... Abraço! cc

Waterboarding might help?
