usr file got deleted, computer screwed up now...

My son somehow managed to put the usr file into the trashcan, and when I went to get it out, it didn't show up there. Now when you start the computer it gives you a screen saying that you have to restart your computer, and will never go any further. Is there anything to be done here?
 
Boot from the Mac OS X Install or Restore CD/DVD, and perform an "Archive & Install" procedure. That may work.

You will then need to re-apply any system updates (OS point updates, etc.) by running Software Update after the install.
 
And after that, create a managed user for your son. You don't want him to use your (or any other) administrator account...
