If the digits are fully functioning, I don't see a reason for removing them. The child will learn to adapt just like those without digits learn to adapt. One of the students at my school only has three fingers, and while it was difficult, she has adapted and does many things people said she could never do such as be a star volleyball player.
Personally, I have two knuckle bones missing in each hand which has added to some early arthritis and discomfort. I believe that even if you are different, you can still fit in.
