I agree with Jake. Little punk wants to run with the big dogs, he can sleep in the same house.

Good! now charge the little jerk as an adult, because if he was adult enough to drive a stolen vehicle, which is a status symbol of reaching adulthood in our society, then he should face adult charges to compliment his thinking he is adult enough to drive!
