Yes, the little child is none other than lil' James Norrington at age 5. His father is Admiral Lawrence Norrington and he is a crazy some of a dog!
Taken from "Jack Sparrow: Sins of the Father" by Rob Kidd:
Admiral Lawrence Norrington entered. Trailing closely behind him, hanging onto his coattails,was a young boy, about ten years younger than Jack.
"James, please refrain from tugging on my waistcoat."
The boy looked down ashamed. He was clearly frightened by all the goings-on aboard the ship. The admiral squatted beside the boy and told him,
"You need to be brave son. There are men out there who are savages, and they want to destroy your entire way of life. They are uncivilized, heathen, thieving, filthy pirates, and when I have gone on to a final rest, it is you who will carry on the banner of civility and order, and help the crown and the East India Trading Company eradicate their slime from the seven seas."
Just as the admiral finished, a tremendous explosion rocked the boat and the boy began to sob, and his father slapped him across the face, and told him to be a man. Soon, all that could be heard was the boy sobbing louder.
