Peace be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
The compensation should be given for the benefit of the injured child by his guardian. If the child is an adult and of sound mind, the compensation is given directly to him. If he forgives his mother, then there is no obligation on her.
May you be successful in all good.
