  My son, who has a mood disorder, deleted his site in a moment of despair. Is there any way to recover the site or at least the content?

  In a word no.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.

  You can register another .wordpress.com URL and then purchase an upgrade plan so you can map to an existing domain.

  Register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Purchase a domain mapping upgrade knowing it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
