what happened to the kid after these events


let's just say things did not work out - the events mentioned below took place 8 years after the kidnapping.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Getty_III

"Permanently affected by his kidnapping, Getty suffered from drug and alcohol addiction during the years that followed.[13] In 1981, he drank a Valium, methadone, and alcohol cocktail which caused liver failure and a stroke, leaving him quadriplegic, partially blind and unable to speak.[16][17] Afterwards, he was taken care of by his mother. He eventually sued his father for $28,000 a month to cover his medical needs.[13] He never fully recovered and remained severely handicapped for the rest of his life."

Yes, he did live a very sad life...
Beyond having enough money for security and comfort and freedom...enormous amounts of money seems to be as lethal as poverty.

According to the movie, JPG barely knew JPGII.

Putting all his energy into the company -> company does great.
Putting 0 energy into his kid -> kid is fvcked up.

Probably wasn't too surprising; he just didn't really care.
