1993 E-150 wont start

Hey all, kinda embarrassing, teenaged son, while starting my 93 E-150 van, turned the ignition BEYOND the start position. Ignition stayed stuck there for about 3-4 min, til I arrived, heard grinding &smelled a burning smell from under the hood. I wanna kill him but its not his fault. SO, it ran ok that day, today, when I try to start it, only one click from the starter relay (solenoid) and that's it. Its not the battery, that's fully charged. Any idea what was burning and if the 'overcranking' of the ignition is related? Another post mentioned that even though the solenoid clicked once, the inside of the guy's solenoid was melted. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty handy with cars. Any help is appreciated. Thanks alot.
