@Chameloshi: The debuff in question is a permanent -10 max HP. It may not sound so bad, but the little icon beneath my AP meter is gonna be there forever, being in the way.

It's not that easy to avoid the problem in Survival.

@Chameloshi: If you're on PC just remove it via console, if you're not on PC you can actually use a dialog glitch by activating the dialog to safe the kid and then quickly use it yourself. Removes the debuff and still safes the kid.

Or let the kid die.
