Charges are criminal in nature.  If they are found guilty, it would be helpful to you in any civil suit you want to file against each one.  For the minors, if the parents knew of the child's violent tendencies or prior acts, the parents can sometimes be held accountable.

Contact an attorney (personal injury) for more information.  Try attorneypages.com, check your state's bar.
