Stevens 555 is gonna be hard to beat from a o/u perspective. The guns 5lbs w/ a 24" barrel and reduced LOP at 13". Now bear in mind 13" really isn't that "short". I'm short at 5'7" and my LOP is barely 13". I can only imagine that's still too long for many kids. You can always pull a trick from my book and cut it down further then cap it with a grind to fit limbsaver pad. Get it close as you can and begin with a low profile GTF pad, then when he grows you can always add more LOP by getting a thicker pad.
But alas, 5 lbs is still light for a shotgun, you go any lighter than that if he's that little it's gonna tear his shoulder out the socket. A 20ga that light with some Winchester AA Low Recoil loads should do pretty well from a recoil aspect.
Good luck finding a 20ga BPS with short barrel and reduced LOP.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!
