I think on a psychological basis, with this situation, your corrections of the facts will not hold in your son's mind, if this is allowed to continue. I'm certainly no expert in this field though.
Maybe when you are alone with your son, you can ask him if someone/who told him these things? Is he old enough to answer a question like that?
I honestly don't know how much more I can take before I crack on this.
In terms of retaliation, I would be very cautious about doing anything which could alienate you from your son.
Do you know anyone who could give you some really well informed advice on this? Is there anyone on the forum with expertise in this sort of matter? I think this forum tends to be a bit more in the technical or creative slants.
I hope it works out for you. I can't really imagine what that would be like, though the heart goes out.
