To supplement the other good advice re this outrageous situation, I'd suggest taking this story to the media if UA does not provide adequate compensation and an apology. Not earth-shaking news, but a human interest story that perhaps the Denver papers would pick up on, and leaving minors stranded in this way makes it somewhat different than a run-of-the-mill incident of an airline screwing up.
