I understand you're wanting to prevent your son from erasing his iPhone via Find My, so let's see if the following suggestions are helpful.
For starters, restricting this feature isn't an option so there isn't a direct way to accomplish this. If you're wanting to provide feedback as a suggestion for this, be sure to select iCloud for the feedback type at the following link:
If your son is considered a minor, and you use Family Sharing, you may consider changing the Apple ID password to prevent this from occurring. You can set up Ask to Buy to approve downloads and purchases as well so they wouldn't need access to the password. For additional information on this, check out the following resource:

I hope this information is able to help.
Cheers!
