When he installed it, he should have bolted it directly to the studs behind the wall. I do not think just attaching it to the dry wall would be a very bright idea.
As far as a danger to the child? Yes you want the house to be safe, but I heard this story one time: "Little Johnny's (or whoever) parents had a TV stand with.... you guessed it, a TV on top. One day Johnny managed to pull the TV off of the stand and it fell on him and was hurt badly. Needless to say, he didn't do that again.
Now if you had said the TV was mounted over the kids bed there would be reason for concern, but kids are tough and need to get hurt from time to time. That way they learn what not to do. I personally would be more concerned for the televisions safety.
