So very sorry that wierd, awful stuff happened, PW. You probably thought about this already, but i think what happened to your son would be taken very seriously by law enforcement. At minimum, it's harassment. And of course if your son is a minor, they can, and likely would, find the sick-o via cyber forensics. Also, if any of your many friends ever found out who the sick-o(s) are (and some your friends are probably skilled enough to be able to find out), then sick-o would be wise to go into hiding - both in cyberspace and in real life. And remember: I'm sure there are many on this forum who would jump at the chance to do most any kind of favor you would ever ask.
