Answer: Nothing

Explanation:

When judgements or researchs are carried out, they are done in consideration of an overall sample,and not just in the favour of someone out of all the sample considered. Judging or concluding from an individual would be bias and won't give a fair result. As the IRB has carried out the investigation and has decided the results, the expression of a child should not affect their decision.
