My nephew dropped his and broke it. His father (my brother) took it into the Apple store (in Norwich) and they replaced it free of charge as a good will gesture, and because he admitted right away it had been dropped (possibly the replacement was a reconditioned one, it wasn't packaged). Worth taking your son and the ipod touch into an apple store and seeing what they say. You never know....
