"I haven't seen the video but maybe he was holding up his child so people would pity him and help him out."
That is likely. The kid is probably either a relative or friend's relative. But it still doesn't change anything. I never claimed he was a saint advocating for orphans.
He can be assumed to be looking after someone close to him. But the point remains that even though he looked to be a large and healthy enough specimen to commit violence he wasn't forcing or intimidating anyone in his attempts to get help. You have to give him credit for that.
A bad situation, lots of stress, he is clearly distressed and frustrated but he isn't throwing a fit or getting violent. He is maintaining some degree of control. Not too shabby for a guy likely coming out of a poor community with a dysfunctional and violent culture. I man who likely has no survival training and who has never even contemplated a disaster. A man completely out of his element who has probably lost everything he owns. But hanging on and doing the best he can without hurting anyone.
