Now, Dad, help him make some fun ramps that are “relatively” safe to jump off of (with a few spills for educational purposes). Let him learn about angles related to speed and distance. His mom probably has no clue, so it’s your job. It takes a family, if not a village, to teach kids.
That bike didn’t cost that much. Would cost much less to buy a new one than to buy a new front wheel, new fenders, etc as separate parts. Plus the hassle of finding where to buy the parts, then the work to install new parts…
Get him a used bike and tell him not to hold his breath for a new one. Responsibility has to start somewhere. Rewarding stupidity is how our government is being run.

Dad, junk the badly broken bike and open that closed wallet of yours and get him a better bike for what he wants to do.

Learned a lot of limitations over the years from what had seemed a good idea at the time.
