I assume have entered 2 adults and 1 child in your search and you paid the price for that (in points).
Neither points nor cash rates change when you try searching for 2 adults vs. 2 adults + 1 child. You can take printscreens of that to back up your claim that the child should be included in the price you have been quoted.
The Hilton T&C explicitly states that a points booking is for the member and one other guest only. The resort stipulates a fee for every extra guest (adult or child) and that's stated in the room rate brochures / PDFs that they used to give out.
Whether they've a) changed their policy and are requiring this to be paid on a regular basis, or b) insist on this over Festive Season, is yet to be determined. I think that in this case there's a good chance it's the latter rather than the former.

Consider it done.
