Thats inefficient, you dont need to cancel the angular momentum as there was no time limit on how long it takes rhe child to enter the sun and there also was not a specified required trajectory. The child can just spiral into the sun

Right, and what force is acting on the child to make it deviate from a circular orbit into a spiral one?
