While I understand your concern for everyone's safety (especially that of a minor), I think you've done everything possible and then some. The issue at hand is an eligibility issue. Is she eligible to play on that team? Well, we all know how those questions are handled.
If a coach misrepresents a player's eligibility, I would say that the liability would fall upon the coach, not on the umpire, should that player be involved in an injury.
And hey, having worked in a school district... There are some 13-year olds that look like they're 20, and some 20-year olds that look like they're 13. Appearances can be deceiving. Just chalk it up to that.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
