Yes. The son can claim adeduction under Section 80D. As per the tax laws, the deduction under Section 80D is available to the person who pays the premium, not necessarily the policyholder. Therefore, if the son is paying the premium for his family's health insurance, he can claim the deduction under Section 80D, provided the policy covers his family members (including his parents) but only upto a certain limit.
