The kiddie tax is filed on your return, not his (in fact, with the kiddie tax, he doesn't file a return). So I am a bit concerned that we are not talking about the same thing.
I don't see how you would take a hit. Are you saying that he was trying to file his own return and got a tax bill of $4k on 27k of gross income? Something is not right here.
