I gave my son an iphone but since his still under age, I just setting most of everything in his phone with my setup including his touch ID, that using my finger print. But he have to go abroad a while ago and he just took the phone with him. but yesterday, the phone is offline, so find my iPhone recognize the phone was stolen when it came online. Now, the phone is locked, and he can't open the phone because it keep asking for touch id which is it have to use my finger print. What should I do? because my son is in another country?and he need the phone to contact me. Help.

Sorry nothing you can do, you'll have to wait until he gets back. Can't remotely use touch id.
