But is his girlfriend allowed to claim him on her taxes since he is NOT her child?

If he is Not her child, And he does Not live with her, then she has No right to claim. The Parent must file a return by mail to claim; An e-filed return will be rejected claiming any child claimed on a previous accepted return. IRS will sort out the truth via letters asking for proof.
