Silver is not Shadow and Amy's child, that Youtube vid is fanmade so that proves nothing and Silver does live in the distant future, so Amy being his mother is very unlikely. I used to think that Sonic might be Silver's ancestor, it gives view of Sonic fight with Eggman is eternal, with the battle lasting some 200 year through Silver and Eggman Nega, however, there seems to more indication that Silver might be related to Shadow, observe:
 * 1) Shadow looks more similar to Silver than Sonic (furry chest and coloured arms).
 * 2) The two always seems to get along better than Sonic and Silver.
 * 3) Both are quite serious and are rarely seen smiling.
 * 4) They have opposite names (Shadow = dark, Silver = light).
 * 5) They're colour schemes are opposite (Shadow: black and red, Silver: grey/white and green).
 * 6) When Silver uses his special attack in Sonic Rivals, he shouts: "Psychic CONTROL!" sound familiar?
 * 7) Silver is depicted as Sir Galahad in SatBK, whos father is Sir Lancelot, who is portrayed as Shadow.
