Minor getting charged with serving alcohol to another minor

Can a minor get charged with making alcohol available to another minor if there is a party at his apartment. If they showed up with the alcohol.

They arrested all the kids that lived in the apartment but never read them their rights or gave them any official papers at all. Also the cops let themselves in the apartment with a key from the landlord because the kids where too scared to answer the door.
