See http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot3.htm

Unless you are using very light shot a drywall over frame wall will not stop a shotgun blast.

Two possible options move the kid or brick the interior of his wall.

If you have access to a range that allows testing you may be able to see if just a brick facade would work or if you need real brick. A steel plate could be placed under the wall board as well.
