  I'd say yes if it's on a public road. He would be in control of it.

  Isn't it illegal to be drunk at the wheel of a car with the engine? Must be illegal for an underage driver to do the same? Or not? Who knows??

  I remember when I was small, my mum was notorious for buying old bangers! (well, she still is!) ;)
  She used to get it started (jump leads/ push start- whatever it took really!) and make me sit in the driver's side revving it to keep it alive! (_;)

  If he's sat in the drivers seat with the key in and engine running, then he's 'in control' of the car.

  If someone has put the keys in the ignition then they are legally "in control" of the vehicle. They do not have to drive it.
  
  Ever heard the terminology of drunk in charge of a motor vehicle?
  
  Whether the police will take action - that's another issue

  With regards to the drinking aspect; I believe that the offence would be the intent to drive, which the police would have to prove. When you have the engine running you are pretty much banged to rights, but when you are in the key without the engine on it is a little less clear cut. My friend was in his car, drunk, laying on the back seat, with the keys in the ignition (car not running) and he still got prosecuted.
  
  So I assume the underage aspect would work along the same lines?

  If the vehicle is on a public highway, the child would be deemed to be in control of the vehicle, he obviously would not be insured and would therefore be " illegal ".

  Untill that day when you slipped into first gear and squashed her against the wall , cutting her in two

  Ah, no walls around I'm afraid! ;)
  But the damage I potentially could have done is quite scary! oO
  I still can't drive! :p

  Put it this way
  
  If you, a adult, a car owner leave the keys in any motor vehicle unattended it is illegal.
  
  Therefore the answer is, its illegal. Thats before the police know/find out a kid was revving the engine.
