General Info: Ink from a Ballpoint Pen is different from Ink in a Uniball Pen or Ink from a permanent marker i.e. Sharpie. Ink from a ballpoint pen contains oils in the ink, thus removing the oil will lift off out the ink.

How is this jumper normally laundered? Home laundry or dry cleaned?
If this is something your son wears to school, why take a chance on making the stain worse as he would not want to wear it if the solution does not "take" well and is very noticeable.
If possible, it may be better to take it to be dry cleaned and show the spot to the cleaners before leaving it.
Always test for colorfastness before trying a solution. Take the stain removal product and apply small amount to a white towel. Using the wet area of the towel, blot a hidden area of the garment to see if color transfers over to the towel.
First step: Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
Create a solution of 1 part Dawn Dishwashing Liquid to 5 parts water.
Apply the solution directly to the ink stain.
Tap with a brush to help solution penetrate.

Let solution rest for 5-10 minutes to further penetrate.
Hold under faucet and run cold water through the spot or launder/dry clean as usual. (cold water only)
Ink is a difficult stain thus requiring effort and patients to remove the stain.
Repeat this step several times if necessary.
Some people recommend denatured alcohol but this I have never used.

Wool and ink do not go well together and removing any stain from wool can be a trial and error thing so think carefully before trying anything stronger than Dawn and water.
