This type of connection should have no effect since both components would be looking for a signal and neither of them would be receiving one. Connecting headphones to the output of the amplifier on the other hand...

Is an electric guitar appropriate for kids?
Yes, but only with headphones.
Can you plug an acoustic-electric guitar into a bass amp?
Yes. While there are many different types of instrument chords meant for different instruments and even styles, all can be used to connect any instrument to any amplifier. The only exception is that a speaker cable (connecting an amp to a cabinet/speaker), will NEVER work to connect an instrument to an amplifier. Note that, in emergency situations, you can use any instrument cable as a substitute for a speaker cable. This substitution is mildly risky for your speaker, so try to avoid it. Also, NEVER use a bass guitar with a guitar amplifier. It can't handle the low frequencies of a bass guitar. You can use a guitar with a bass amplifier safely, but the tone will not be as good.

Can you use a laney hcm65b bass amplifier for a standard 6 string electric guitar Gibson?
You'll be able to get a sound out of it for practice, but the tone probably won't be very good. The size of the speaker cone required to produce the bass (12") means it won't really be responsive enough to deal with the higher note on the guitar successfully.I don't THINK it'll damage guitar or amp. It shouldn't damage your bass amp, but if you use a bass with a guitar amp it will pretty much destroy the amp.

Can you hook a pedal up to a cabinet with no amp head?
The cabinet is simply a box with a speaker in it. A speaker is a cone and a coil mounted to a frame. Neither the box, nor the speaker has any power source of its own. To create sound, a oscilating voltage must be passed to the speaker coil. Connecting a guitar or pedal directly to the speaker coil will provide an oscilating voltage but it is so tiny that you won't be able to hear anything. The head contains the amplifier. This takes the tiny oscilating voltage of the guitar or pedal and increases it enough to move the speaker cone and vibrate the air so that you can hear it.
