Apparently my nephew busted a green ink pen and managed to get it on my walls which are painted with a semi gloss interior paint and my laminate flooring. I have tried magic erasers and they don't budge it. Any ideas on how to safely remove this? Thanks in advance.

Rubbing alcohol or hairspray with alcohol in it.
Alcohol will remove ink. It make some time, but keep at it.
Milk!
You can try regular isopropyl alcohol or mineral spirits on the floor. If all else fails there are ink removing products available.

Start off by blotting up as much ink as you can. Take your specialist floor cleaner or a little rubbing alcohol and gently wipe away at the stain. Repeat as necessary, rinse thoroughly and dry. With laminate flooring you can try spraying a little hairspray or make-up remover onto a kitchen towel and wipe.

On Finished Wood Surfaces, Flooring or Furniture:
Aerosol Hairspray: Saturate ink, leave on for 15 seconds, wipe with clean paper towel. Repeat if necessary. It's the easiest and least time consuming method.
Powdered Laundry Soap and Water: Mix both to make a paste, apply to ink making sure it is completely covered and let it sit for a minute. Wearing gloves, scrub ink with your fingertips until it lifts. Wipe clean with a damp towel and dry.
Dawn Dish Soap: For fresh ink: half teaspoon dawn dish soap to ⅓ cups of hot water, mix and whisk to make suds. Test hidden area to be sure suds (only) won't affect the finish. Dab cotton ball into suds and use on an out of view place. If suds damage the finish, stop. If not, gather suds only in a soft cloth and gently wipe ink from surface. You may need to repeat and use a clean part of the cloth. Follow up with a clean, well rung out cloth to rinse off suds. Dry well. If the stain is still visible, use superfine steel wool dipped in liquid wax and with very little pressure, rub with the grain until stain is gone. Be very gentle. Wipe away shavings with clean dry cloth.
Baking Soda Paste: ¼ cup of warm water. Slowly mix in baking soda until it becomes thick and paste like. Apply to stain and gently rub it in with your fingers, making sure the ink is completely covered in paste. Leave for 10 to 15 minutes. With a damp soft cloth wipe away paste. Repeat process until you are satisfied. When done, wipe with a dry soft cloth.
Try hairspray.
Rubbing Alcohol 70% should take the ink off.
