He planned to infect Bond when he let her go?
Dumb execution.
No, he let her go because he only wanted to use her to control bond and the wife. He only cared for the wife, never the kid. He tried to make a deal with Bond that he will let his kid and him leave if the wife gets to stay. After Bond rejected the offer, safin didn't have any purpose for the kid. Sure he could've killed the kid if he wanted to, but why do that when he can infect Bond and tell him that if he touched his wife or his kid, they'll die from the virus by his own hands?
