Relocation is not a great option. There are laws in some states against relocation. I hate to be harsh but you need to kill it/them. If you don't have a gun - submerge the entire live trap in a tank/body of water. Believe me, there are plenty of racoons to take its place.
Sorry about the loss of your chickens and the pain it'll cause your son. You'll need to lock them up safe and secure each and every night. Coons have taken one of my silkie hens @ 4 in the afternoon. They pulled her through the fence as she was eating. Coons are very smart, cause a lot of damage and do not give up easily. Word has it that they are having large litters this year in this area. Oh, joy.
Good Luck, Joni
