from my experince at 16, you are correct. volenteering with te school will get you into trouble. get the kid a computer of his own with an open source operating system on it. this is a) harder to break than windows and b) a more friendly platform for exploration. I did this at 13, but my parrents are hacker literate.
I cannot comment on ethics though, or parrenting. Both of my parrents were computer scientists at one time in there carreer, and I still bounce Ideas off of my father. Personaly, I think this is the best way to grow up with such a skill set. my only regret is that I have not had much motivation to hack when I can have a rely interesting discussion with my father.
