Can I then apply for settled status as his dependant parent?
No, since you are not dependent on him.
You might apply as his adult carer (Chen, you already know this from your Zambrano post), since he is a minor EU citizen, resident in the UK, and he is dependent on you; without you, he would likely need to leave the UK.
However, for this route, although comprehensive sickness insurance is not needed, you need to prove you do not rely on public funds to support your child (for some reason they refer to this as your child being "self-sufficient". This does not mean that your child needs to earn his own living, just that their carer -aka you- does not relay on public funds).
Is the father of the child a EU national, and has he left the UK?
I am not very sure about this, seeing as am his mom and I wont be expected to be dependant on a little boy.
Exactly, you cannot apply as dependant parent using the regular EUSS route, because you would then need to prove financial dependency on your child, which you do not have.
My posts express what I believe are the facts, based on the best of my knowledge, about the topics discussed in this forum. They do not constitute immigration advice.
