    You can keep him from deleting it by going to Settings>General>Restrictions, tap Enable Restrictions, enter a passcode* then turn Deleting Apps to Off.  This will prevent him from deleting any apps on the phone without the restrictions passcode.  I don't think you'll be able to prevent him from turning off the app, however.

     

    * Important: Make sure you remember/write down the restrictions passcode.  If you ever forget it, you will have to restore the phone as a new device without using a backup to remove it, losing all data on the phone.
