I dont see the link between Xbox and the FBI. I don't think they would get involved in something so small.

Lol. No, of course not. I've gotten into trouble on Xbox Live but not by police. By parents when I was 12. I deliberately stole my old neighbors account & my friend told his mom & I got grounded for a summer...

Your fine. FBI has better things to do unless a lot of money was spent on a credit card.

No he can't.

I used to dabble in white-hat activities, and coming from experience, the FBI is not going to hunt down someone for an xbox account.

One, you cannot "Fry" an IP, you can [take it offline for a short time] it, or if you are part of a botnet, you can DDoS it. Which temporarily renders internet either slowed, or offline.

Further more the FBI do not handle xbox profiles or their tampering. And you don't "hack" an xbox account, you mod it. if anything you might get a message on the xbox account saying something like "Banned until 1/1/9999" And if the account is off the xbox then theres nothing to worry about, other than some skids (poorly skilled black-hat crackers using programs) to [take you offline or slow] you for a little while.

*[]= word that was against community rules, that i pulled out

There was no credit card on file not even live it was a dull plane jane account my brother nor anybody in my family would ever steal money from a card or anything like that doing something like that would be reason for law enforcement then but nothing like that was done

It wouldn't be a serious crime unless the parents of the child that had the account stolen from pressed charges when he was caught but once someone else logs in the ip will be changed but records will be on Xbox main site but to answer your question no he shouldn't really get in trouble unless the child presses charges because you do something else illegal with the account.

The worst thing that they can do is ban his xbox. But I highly doubt that they would do that. When I was a kid, I used a fake as hell code generator. Please insert email and pw. Well I was so freaking stupid back then. Of course I entered it. Now I can't sign into my account and Microsoft says that I am no longer the owner of the account. I really don't know what to do with it.

Just keep calm and don't worry about it.
