2) He will not sit next to an unaccompanied child.
After that, whatever else happens is not his responsibility. It is up the parents and the airline to work it out.
Actually, if the parent is willing to sit separate from the child, and the child takes the assigned seat next to him, then it most certainly
*is* his responsibility if he refuses to sit there.
