+1, it's pretty sad that being nice can legally open yourself up to being taken advantage of. I've had to come to grips too that this situation is why we have insurance. My last car was rear ended by a 12 seat ford van going 30+mph just 22 hours after I bought it. About 20 days later and $12k in repairs I got it back and now after 11 years and 120k miles it's not had a single problem with anything and it will probably go another 5 years or more.

The kids insurance will get him, $1k deductable and $2k in higher insurance for the next 5 years, points on license. Also if he's young the accident will probably stick with him for many years to come.
