Please follow the steps in the Apple Support article I’ve linked below. If your son signed up for a subscription, you will need to stop the subscription first.

In the future after the refund request, you will want to use one of the many methods to prevent your son from making purchases. The refund is not guaranteed, but these methods will prevent that from happening:

  • Use the Ask to Buy feature.

Set up Ask to Buy - Apple Support

  • Use Screen Time Restrictions

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

  • Require password for purchases

Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support
