More details to this question:
My 19 year old son stopped at a party some friends of his were having one night about 10:30. He left about 11:00 to meet me and brings me something and then returned to the party. About 15 minutes later the cops showed up and he was charged with contributing even though he didn't take anything to the party. Do they not have to prove he was contributing to charge him? They never asked him any questions pour checked him just wrote him a citation and told he could leave.

Yes they can, and they did. But you should hire a lawyer for him and get this relatively minor charge dismissed. By himself he's going to get a criminal record, and it isn't worth it.

Yes if he was present with minors in that situation it does not matter if he brought anything.
