Re: Verbal Declaration on the end
The cardroom where I used to play in NYC had the rule that if you verbally concede the pot to someone else at the end of the hand, then it is there's even if you had a better hand. But everywhere else, strictly speaking, the hand in the muck is dead. However, I think it would be reasonable (and right) for the floor after hearing the story to award the pot to the kid.
