Sorry, I don't have a link to an "official statement" from Liberty Media's F1 communications confirming it was their F1 promotions and communications staff that initiated this. I can guarantee you it wasn't initiated by Ferrari and/or Raikkonen, as is being widely reported. Even the local TV news is saying it was Ferrari's idea.
edit: A quick search and I found
THIS from James Allen.
"In the paddock a quick thinking F1 comms manager suggested that they go and fetch the young lad and his family to come over to the F1 paddock to try to cheer him up. Ferrari was looped in and they brought him to Ferrari’s hospitality where he met Raikkonen."
It's all I can find for now. A Liberty Media F1 employee. Believe what, or who you want.
But from my experience, I think I'll take James Allen's word over Alan Baldwin's any day.
