Although I've never used them ... how about Oxyclean or Kaboom

I will try oxiclean, but it doesn't say anything about ink. Think regular bleach would ruin it?

Took this off a website.... Ink Stains - Ballpoint ink stains can be placed stain face down on white paper towels. Sponge with rubbing or denatured alcohol or rub detergent into stained area. Repeat if some stain remains. Rinse, then launder. Drawing ink usually cannot be removed. Try flushing with cold water until pigments are removed; rub liquid detergent into stain; rinse. Repeat process. Soak in warm sudsy water to which 1 to 4 tablespoons of household ammonia per quart of water have been added. Rinse thoroughly. Launder in hottest water safe for that fabric, with fabric safe bleach. Felt Tip or India Ink - Usually cannot be removed. Try pouring water through the stain before it dries, until pigments are removed. Allow to dry. If you notice some reduction in stain, sponge with dry-cleaning solvent. Allow to dry. Rub liquid household cleaner into stain. Rinse. Soak stain (possibly overnight) in warm water to which 1 to 4 tablespoons of household ammonia have been added. Rinse and repeat treatment if necessary; launder.

I found something on a website for you: Advertisement
How to Remove Ink Stains From Clothes From your Stay-at-Home Parents Guide
Ink stains can be very difficult to remove, but this method often works.
Difficulty Level: Average Time Required: 10 minutes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's How: Place an absorbent paper towel or rag under the stain. Saturate the stain with an alcohol-based hair spray. Blot the stain with a rag or paper towel. Repeat, if necessary, until stain is removed. Launder as usual.
Tips:
Test the hair spray on an inconspicuous area first. Related Information:

He is 13. To be honest and make you feel a little better, he is not a wimp kid that everyone pics on. He is a 'tough guy', not always so nice to the other kids. He gets into a lot of trouble. He is a 'cool kid'.
