First requirement would be that the Find My option was enabled on your son's iPhone.


Assuming that the option was enabled, the phone will not appear on the map if the battery has run down or the phone does not have an Internet connection at its current location.


Not much that you can do in this case, except look for the phone the old fashioned way.
