Sign out of iCloud and have two separate icloud accounts. One for your devices and one for his.

Sign out of iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime on YOUR devices and create a new iCloud account for yourself. Afterwards, login to the aforementioned with your new information.

You can also go into iMessage settings on your Mac & iPhone & uncheck your son's phone number. I had my phone like this for a while so I could monitor my daughter's apps when she was younger.

Poor guy. It sounds like you're all sharing an iCloud account. It's time to let his wings soar.

You can still share the Apple iTunes ID, but you need separate iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime ID's.
