I don't want to mess with the circuit as it uses RF pulses to detect the touch and I think diodes for ESD would change the capacitance. It's easier to talk to the son first and then ground him when he does it deliberately next time.

her mom lives with her sister, has early Alzheimer's. Sister called, said she got called home from work by the fire dept, her house burned down and mom was killed. My co-worker was just talking before I left for Florida a couple weeks ago about how she was frustrated that her sister wouldn't get daytime assistance for mom while sister was at work. I don't think I've ever heard someone in that much anguish when she was taking that call.
