Call your local poison control number, and ask them about it. It is better safe than sorry to have your child checked, but a lot of times these professionals can give you information like watch the child for specific signs, give them milk, etc., that could prevent more damage in the meantime. You should always call Poison Control immediately anytime you aren't sure about anything like this.

Clinical signs
In humans:
The eating of nonfatal quantities of poke, perhaps of the shoots, may cause retching or vomiting after two hours or more. These signs may be followed by dyspnea, perspiration, spasms, severe purging, prostration, tremors, watery diarrhea (often bloody) and, sometimes, convulsions. If a fatal quantity is eaten, perhaps including roots, the above signs are followed by paralysis of the respiratory organs and other narcotic effects, culminating in the death of the poisoned person

He is old enough to tell you if he ate it or not. Tell him he is not in trouble but that you need to know if he ate it. Look in his mouth and check his teeth. If he has it in his mouth call poison control.
