Though not the brightest thing to do but this could have put a positive spin on American atc > flying is so safe that even a child can be a controller.

Nice way of thinking about it. Probably won't happen. But it's a nice idea.

The point
you have maybe missed is that the child wasn't controlling anything. Telling a child to say 'Go' on cue makes me more mindful of the fact that the child is the one being controlled.

I'm still not condoning it but only because he should have known someone would hear about it and make a crisis out of it.

Yes I know the child was not controlling any a/c. I think you missed the point I was attempting to make.
