Are you sure that the TV is really powered off and that your son did not just change the video input port (e.g., xbox vs cable box).
Is there a manual power button on the TV? If you are using a remote control try a new battery.
Plug in a lamp to the host outlet to make sure the outlet has power.
Check power cords and connections - make sure that all power cords are tightly plugged in. Likewise for all video cables (probably HDMI ports).
Any extension cords or power bars (outlet extenders)? Some power bars have a little red breaker button that may need to be reset.
Check the TV's User Guide/Manual for more troubleshooting options. You might have to reset the TV by pushing and holding some button while unplugging or plugging in...
