He won't, don't be afraid, to He won't, relax, to navigate Paris airport is easy, the staff there will guide him as soon as he touch down. and from there to Bogota is no problem at all. there are many people in that flight coming from Germany all the way to Colombia. I wouldn't worry, if he is doing the Checking in Germany all the way to Colombia, he doesn't need to do emigration in Paris Again, he just needs to go to the appropriate gate and wait for his flight.

Point of exit... ... is Paris. So he _will_ pass customs in Paris, because there is where he is leaving the Schengen area. But I agree on the other part, it's not that difficult. You get out and follow the signs to the (F-) gate where the Bogota flight is leaving. You will get in security line and later in the passport control line... and probably the checking of the passport is just a quick peak at the photo and the boardingpass.
Now, Colombian immigration forms are handed out in the aircraft, they're also available in English. I'm sure he knows where he's heading to (address), for how long and that he's there for vacation. For your peace of mind, thinking he might get detained or anything, give him a phonenumber for if there's a _real_ problem.
Last remark: I don't know what the age of your son is, but I have the feeling he speaks English better than you think.
