Text Messages on ipad

Is there a way to remotely block the text messages app on my sons iPad? I forgot to turn my messages off before he left town with family. I turned off iMessage sharing and text forwarding from my phone but was trying to see if there was a way to keep him from reading the existing messages that were already there since I am not there to secure his iPad.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12
