I can see how the child would have had such an effect on Shepard. During the evacuation of Earth, Shepard offers help to the child; the child refuses and says that no one can help him. When you see the child later, they are struggling to board a transport, only to be ultimately killed by the Reapers. That child really just gave me a great impression as to what people are feeling during the Reaper invasion: hopelessness and helplessness.
