I’ve heard of kids coming to their parents jobs for a day to see what they do. This is the first time I’ve heard of a child doing the parents job however.
I’m sure there has been other cases. This one is particularly worrisome. Someone could have died. You’d think that no one other than authorized personnel would be allowed up in the tower. I’ll bet when this is over, there will be new rules.
A child apparently directed pilots last month from the air traffic control center at John F. Kennedy Airport, one of the nation's busiest airports. The Federal Aviation Administration said today that it was investigating the case.

March 3 UPDATE: The FAA is investigating five transmissions from the control tower at JFK Airport in New York City, where tapes reveal that the child of an air traffic controller directed planes on a runway. NBC’s Tom Costello reports. See Video
