Correction: His green card will not expire however my son will be 14 before we are eligible to apply for the citizenship therefore and per publication above we have to submit a new green card application for him as I understand it.

OBLIGATIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENTS WHO ARE UNDER 14 YEARS OF AGE
Permanent residents who are under 14 years of age have an affirmative obligation to file an application for a
new Green Card upon reaching their 14th birthday. The permanent resident applicant will be required to
undergo standard security clearances at this time. If you have any children who will turn 14 years of age
before the 10-year expiration of the Green Card, they should be prepared to file an application for a
new “Green Card” within 30 days of reaching their 14th birthday.
Do you have any more information on the source of that quote? I have never heard of anything like it, and it doesn't show up on Google.

Ok, a bit more digging does show up some references to it in the instructions for the I-90 - and it looks like at least the majority of the I-90 fee is waived, in that case, which is better than nothing I guess. Still interested in more general references to this obligation.

Officially from USCIS.

Also, if you became a permanent resident before you turned 14 years old, you are required to replace your card when you become 14 years old.

Seems to be because they are then old enough to have gotten themselves into some police trouble, given that they have to undergo security clearance (I guess they don't do that when they are younger).
