This sounds to me like a captive bead that won't let go? Wish I was there, I have a pair of ring openers.
Do what media said. Wrap duct tape or electrical tape around the individual pointy ends of the scissors, (so you don't gouge your eyes out and to not mar the ring and to give the rings something soft to sit against instead of sliding on metal), and very slowly and carefully insert them (closed) into the ring, then slowly and carefully open the scissors. Ball should pop out as soon as the ring hasn't enough pressure to hold it.
EDIT: If you're talking about a curved barbell, the ball is on WAY too tight. you may have to hold one end and get your son to twist the other. If you can't get it out that way, head over to your local tattoo studio and get the piercer to get it out for you. Be careful, though, or you can very easily rip the piercing out.
