No it isn’t. The OP was the booker, and the booker controls the booking. [ETA: It seems OP booked through AA which may be what caused the confusion here if BA didn’t recognise OP as the booker.]

In any case it would not be for the child to confirm to BA over the phone any authority to act on their behalf. If that’s in the CC manual (which I doubt) then it should change.
