1 person in my group's passport not accepted so why were both of us denied boarding? - People Walking on Paved Road

I had travel plans with my older son for a 2 day holiday to Austria and we had done early check-in 2 days before. At the airport, we were denied boarding because his passport expired in a month (an oversight on our part) My question is.. when I asked if I can just travel then and my son just go home, they said no. We had to lose money on a pre-paid car, hotel, phone plan, etc... I can't find any law that would prevent me from continuing to travel without my son.Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
