Is it illegal to move your King into a check position?

My son made a move into which he placed his King into check.

He tried to take that move back saying it was illegal.

I say it was his loss.

Who is correct?

Thanks.
 

Dear viewer,

Your son is right.

It is illegal to put your own King in check.
