How Can I find out if my son has manipulated his location that he shares with me and it’s not where he’s at? Thanks in advance

The only way for him to intentionally 'manipulate' his location is to take his phone somewhere else... Depending on the circumstances, the location may not be reported correctly 100% of the time due to the nature of cell tower triangulation and the inevitable errors in the WiFi location databases, but there is no way for him to tell his phone to report his location as somewhere other than where the phone is physically located.
