Hi Joe,
Did your son charge the new battery? because that's what it sounds like, click then dead, less then 10 volts in the battery,
charge the battery, clean the cable ends, clean the ground cable (both ends) w/tight connections & try again, don't try jumping it, have the battery charged.

Check the egine to body ground, also make sure the battery connections are clean and tight at both ends
