Tell him to contact Steam support and include some proof of ownership like what is mentioned in that link Flash posted.

As far as helping him; people that willingly turn over their email address, email password, Steam account name, Steam password and Steamguard code for "Free games" typically cannot be helped. It's more of a maturity and experience thing. He'll eventually learn from his mistakes, just like we all did when we first ventured onto the Internets.

Ah that reminds of the time when I was 13 I had gave everyone my passwords for some game called... I think Adventure Quest. I saw ads for it ago. Must still be around. But back to the story, It was for a free premium account someone had offered me.
