With the understanding that this could get you arrested
for committing an unnatural act, the following is the best
I could come up with on short notice: replace the existing
/etc/inittab line for tty1 with something like this:

1:2345:respawn:/bin/su - godSonsAccountName


...but that will only get you a console session and you
might still have to stick an "stty sane" into his shell's
startup script.  If you want an X session to start up
automatically, you might try to run startx instead of xdm,
maybe along these lines:

su - godSonsAccountName startx
exit

...maybe (temporarily) introduced as the first lines of
the xdm startup script.  But I gotta say Gag Me, Dude!
Icky-poo!  Bletch!  Why would you want to do this?  What
is so difficult about simply having the kid log in?
