I feel for this family but I don't understand why the child doesn't just take a sip of wine. It's like this huge victim thing.

Exactly. It is THE article of Faith that the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is present in BOTH the host and the wine.So by taking a sip of wine, as all communicants are encouraged to do, she would be receiving body and blood.

Exactly right. To receive the Blessed sacrament in either species is to recieve Him fully; body, blood, soul and divinity. It's not that the Church invalidated her "sacrament", it's that her sacrament was invalid in the first place by its very lack of necessary nature.
