To get past the passcode lock, there are forensic tools to try and crack backups or image the device - but most new iOS devices have data protection and connecting it to a computer will just yield scrambled / encrypted files - and until you present the proper decryption key (which is stored in the keychain behind the PIN code) - physical access to the device won't yield the pictures in a usable form. The life lesson is important whether you and your son can get past the passcode lock or not.
move photos from camera roll to album on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It also allows you the freedom to wipe the device to regain control of it now and then later, restore from the backup.
