True, there's no way to guarantee that the guy could be sure that the kid would be able to escape. Even I was thinking that cause CTU had posted security at every exit to intercept him if he got out. So I assume he's able to escape in the resulting chaos, everyone in the mall is running out, and no one could expect security to catch the kid in that case.
I agree, though, that it was desperation. But it was only choice given the circumstances. Otherwise their whole plan would fail.
