Hope you don't mind but I tried this. I duplicated the original and to it clipped a Hue/Sat layer in which I changed the lightness of the Reds to +55 and changed the blend mode to Screen. That was all I did.
Edit: I see after uploading that this looks a bit blurred so I went back and used sharpen which improved the image somewhat but I won't bother uploading it.

Just got home and saw the updates. 3-minute assault ... First thing was to open in ACR and change temperature and increased exposure and contrast. Opened in PSE and played to WB using the sock as a white base (possibly incorrect). Opened a second time in ACR and rejigged the temperature a bit and re-opened in PSE and fiddled with skin tone. Possibly a bit of green hue in the boy's hair and on the shoes and left ankle area, which look odd. Frank's skin tone is good and this could be altered some more. On my screen the hardwood floor looks "normal" to me. Clive 
Slight tweak ...  |

It is interesting to see everyone's differing methods of fixing this image and the end results; and, I appreciate everyone taking the time to give it a go and post their results.
I have no idea who that kid is (I am sure the wife probably knows), but he has made quite a splash here while everyone has doctored up his picture.
The wife's vast family are forevermore having various birthdays and reunions in these weirdly lit church gymnasiums, bounce-house emporiums, arcades, and various other money pits and entertainment facilities; and, it is always a challenge to get things to look as they should.
Myself, on the other hand, am often out in the blinding mid-day sun, where half my shots are facing right into it.
