You left off important facts your friend will have to provide.
(1) Is there a current custody order?
(2) If so, who has custody under that order?
(3) If your friend has custody, she can demand that her son return to New York. If the father fails to return the child, he can be held in contempt.
(4) If the custody order was modified when the son moved to Florida, your friend will have to file a petition to modify custody based upon the child's desire to move back to New York.
