You pay the fine or you go to court to prove
1. the beer was not yours
2. your kid was not drinking beer on said date at said time.
Hell, the brand of beer he was drinking is the same as the brand you have at home, so you are responsible, so you're guilty as charged.
Any more clear on how this is ridiculous?

In your example the kid IS guilty of taking the beer from the parents house which makes the parent guilty of providing alcohol to a minor.
What the parent failed to do is provide proof ( receipt etc ) that the minor bought the alcohol somewhere else which they couldn't because the kid didn't
