Wow! 
That child sounds like he's soooo lonely!
He may have autism; that's quite a possibility.
It seems his parents don't spend much time with him. It's like he's raising himself!
I don't understand why his mother lets him talk to her any way he wants and why his dad doesn't set any boundaries with him.
I think that's why he's so drawn to your son: he has a mother and father that take time with him; his parents set boundaries for their children and the children adhere to what's been said to them.
This little boy that wants to hang around your son is lacking all of that.
He wants your husband to "like him" because he wants validation from a dad---doesn't matter if it's his dad or not.
His own dad doesn't seem to pay him much attention.
Little is right--- I'd get with the child's parents and talk to them... maybe have lunch on the weekend or dinner one evening and talk about the kids.
I think that's a bit weird, too. Little has a good perception on things.
I do believe if you meet and spend time with this boy's parents, it would give more insight into what's going on with this child and why he's latched on to your son so, and why he wants your husband's approval of him.
This poor child needs some validation and quality time, and his parents aren't giving it to him.
