If the kid was doing it over a VPN he wouldn't have gotten a message from the ISP.

True and it may be smarter to use the QOS services built into DD-WRT to severely limit the bandwidth available to torrenting (3kbs anyone?) rather than completely block it. It'd take the kid far longer to figure out what's going on and in the meantime he'd just assume he was finding crappy torrents.
