Impressive that they had masons around 3.3 million years ago to make that sandstone tomb. I knew the Masons went back a long ways, but, wow!

"though not a human" Of course it isn't and
Not a human = not a "child".

I've seen an ape walk upright, so I would believe this were possible.

Bingo! It was a rather interesting use of words.

Although not "human" in the modern sense, this was still a young hominid, and using the term "child" is not inappropriate.

Was his name Hugo? Hugo Chavez?

In all likelihood, the human-like footprints found near Lucy's remains were those of a human, and Lucy was that human's pet monkey. Sigh. Yeah, and you believe that the Earth once orbited Saturn, too, so we'll take that link with a few truckloads of salt.
Furthermore, Lucy was in no way like a "monkey". Obviously you don't know the difference between hominid apes and "monkeys". Nice try.
Hey Ted, what are you going to say when the feet of this current fossil are unearthed and look more human than "monkeylike"?

Previous article on the Lucy fraud. Then read all the replies, wherein all the errors and misrepresentations in that article are documented.
Ted, why do you bother? And how do you manage to stick around this time after being a retread (i.e. a banned poster returning under a new name)?
