    1. "Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon says a motion has been filed to move the case from juvenile court to county court. Condon said his office intends to try the teen as an adult."

    2. Yep. This is exactly the kind of situation where public flogging is an effective deterrent. Haul him out to the town square and give him ten of the best. HE won't do this again, and his buddies will get the message. While he's a minor and his parents are responsible for him, at 17 parents really have very little control. If you take him to adult court, they're off the hook. I'd pass on trying to sue them- but have no problem burdening HIM with a bill. And by all means, video and publish the flogging on social media.
