Without knowing the make and model, there is no way to say.

There are two possibilities:

  1. pull the battery. This sort of defeats the purpose of a cellphone though.
  2. Purchase a new, non-GPS phone, and substitue it for the phone your stepson currently has. If the provider is AT&T, this becomes much easier, and you can keep the current phone, switching back to it when the boy visits Dad.
