Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

2 parts. if a friend lets her teenage son drink and buys beer for him in a beach house that i rented, are the other adults at risk for not stopping it. later, the boy brings a friend over to the beach, a girl, underage which i suspect he was giving beers to but i didn't see it. i discovered later after dinner, the girl is still in the house and the mother has gone to her room. my son who is 19 was sleeping in the room. i was not happy. the boy heard me my steps and met me on the steps. i told in the girl has to leave, take her home she cant stay, underage and my son is up there too. he went to floor of his mother's and i assumed he complained, but she claimed she did not know which is a lie, he drove her to wherever she was staying. the mother is mad at me but i believe she and her put my family, others in the house at risk if something happened or the girl said she was attacked. my wife thinks i need to apologize. i think i am due an apology for this behavior and lack of parenting. he drove the girl home after he went to his mother's room on the lower level and my gut says she told him, you brought her here you take her home. my son asked why was she still there and that the boy was calling me names for making him take the girl home. this happened in north carolina

since the underage girl is unknown to us, i know nothing of her parents, only the son and mother would, would I or others be liable if she claimed to attacked or getting beers after the fact just to get back at me. i got her out when i realized she was in the house i rented to prevent anything from happening and i can't monitor everything with 7 other folks in the house.
