I'm sure knowledgeable people can ably repair a crack on a carbon frame. But that uses the assumption that any and all serious damage to the frame is visible. There could be other cracks or weakened areas that you would never see.

I'm no expert on carbon, but I wouldn't ride or put my kid on a carbon frame that had been in a serious crash and was damaged. YMMV
