What you have there is a brick. Your son should have logged in and closed the account, at least as far as that device was concerned, or changed it to a name fo your choice. I've laboured for hours over these circumstances and there is no way round it without the help of the seller. He could log into Google on a PC and if he doesn't know the password, go through the Forgot Password process.

He would have the answers to the security questions but if he doesn't, throw that brick at a wall.
