Default Front Brakes Don't work

Ok so basically what happened was I was at the movies with my buddies, my bike was parked in the lot. I guess my dad thought it would be funny to take my bike and make it look like it was stolen (he has a spare bike key). What he didn't realize was that I had a lock on the wheel and when he went to leave the wheel lock stopped at the breaks.
So now when I use the front breaks it's almost as if there is no preasure in the break line. I have to pump it several times to build up preassure. Anyone have any suggestions for me so I can fix this?

ya he's gonna pay for it but one of his buddies is a car mechanic (former chopper mechanic). So he'll probably just have to pay parts and a 6 pack. He hasn't talked to him yet I basically wanted you'r guys input first so I could know what he was gonna say before he checked it out. That and since this would be a weekend type thing who knows when his buddy would be able to do it. Odds are I'll take it in to get fixed, can't wait a week.
