Plus with all the state driver license database being linked next year, Mass police will be able to see the history of his Kansas License.
Your going to be him at risk of not being able to get his Mass License at 16 and you could be fine as well, but money does not seem to be an issue for you. All i know is Mass has some very restrictive licensing and auto insurance rules. When the state tells your insurance company you had an unlicensed driver driving your car I pretty sure they will not be happy.
Good luck to you pulling this off, I am glad I will not be driving in Mass knowing your 14yr is on the roads there. I know my kids had challenges driving at 16 and I made them drive thousands of mile before they took their driver test. Had nothing to do with their driving skill it was all the other idiots on the roads doing stupid things. Kids expect everyone to follow the rules and most people do not.

While I agree that the actions being proposed are not quite legal and could have a consequence for the kid as well as the OP, I have to say that with a parent in the car 14 is an appropriate age IMO. I live in Iowa and we also get permits at 14, and kids driving with their parents is a heck of a lot safer than a 16 year old without any driving experience driving alone.
