that makes me so mad, not just for 17 year olds, but everyone subject to the whims of the criminal justice system.
for this young man, it should be 1 charge, maybe 1-2 weeks in jail (to deomonstrate the seriousness of the offense, not so much for retribution), and then a whole bunch of community service as restitution and rehabilitation.
we destroy lives gone astray rather than nudge them back onto the happier path(s). mischievousness like this is rarely an expression of malice, but more likely curiosity, rebelliousness, perhaps boredom, etc. the punishment should reflect that.
