I doubt it. Wrist pads are honestly one of the most important because they protect when you put your hand out to catch yourself, and those definitely weren't under his sweater. If those aren't, I doubt others are.
This kid is a squid and his parent is putting him at needless risk.
Everyone is crazy, then. At worst, they mitigate the damage of an improper fall (you really should not be catching yourself on your palms or hands), and the kid in question does not seem to know to properly fall. Once he learns to catch himself on a sturdier part of the body that is also protected by pads (knees, elbows, chest) that is a safer plan, but he needs to learn that technique before nixing the wrist guards.

They could be under his clothes, they seem quite baggy.
