I hope the attackers get caught and get tried as adults.
It's a good point, I'm not sure. You're making me think about it though, I'm going to have a discussion with my son about it though so he has a plan if ever in the situation.

My kid is getting his license in June, I was eventually going to give him my wifes car once I got around to buying her something else but I think this might be a priority the minute he gets it. His friends are starting to drive now but he still takes the bus home half the time.
