Worried about his staying out late

1) I am worried about his staying out late.
2) I am worried about him staying out late.

Can't '1' and '2' be used in all of the following cases:

a) I am afraid that he may stay out late. (We are leaving him alone for a while and I am worried about his/him staying out late).
b) He has stayed out late tonight and I am worried that something might have happened to him.
c) He stays out regularly and I am worried that something might happen to him.
d) He will have to stay out late and I am worried that something might happen to him.

Gratefully,
Navi.
