How bad is this? Id never let him drive it again but if it happens once or twice is it bad?

Really depends; what were the outside temps? That'll help your engine start warmer. In the ten minutes you drove, did the car get to full operating temp? When your cousin started it, what was the temp gauge pointing to?
It's not great treatment for the car, but it wouldn't have wrecked your engine just from that. Don't do it regularly and you'll be fine.
