Can you lock the iphone settings?
My son keeps turning off the location services on his phone so that I cannot see where he is. Is there a way to lock the settings feature on his phone?

Yes, you do this on his iPhone, and no he won't be able to change it back.
You can set up restrictions, and when you do, you'll be required to create a passcode. don't give him this passcode, and he won't be able to access Restrictions to turn them off.
From the link provided by SergZak above:
Create a Restrictions passcode. You need your Restrictions passcode to change your settings or to turn off Restrictions.
How do I use Restrictions?
In addition to the above, you have to keep in mind that he will be able to bypass this by simply putting the phone into Airplane mode or turning it off. Technology is not a substitute for parenting. Set down the ground rules. If he violates them, take the phone away or otherwise impose restrictions on him.
Do I go on his phone and to change the restrictions? If this is the case, can't he just go back in and change it?
Follow what Phil0124 states...and do NOT forget your Restrictions passcode.

Yes. You can use Restrictions to prevent him from turning off location services.
