I just cannot believe my ears. An aircraft actually took off on the instructions of a child without verifying the clearance was genuime.
The example quoted was a (presumably expected)frequency change. Hardly safety critical.

And may it have been a "take your child to work day"? In which case the presence of a child may well have been authorised, even in a secure area.

Without more information I would not be so quick to condemn.
