They are not related except both are in the Human Family- of the Holiday spirit- reluctantly and belatedly accepted by Scrooge. Tiny Tim is the son of Bob Cratchit, an employee of Scrooge, he is not related to the businessman.

He wants to know based on what he saw would Tiny Tim live much longer. The ghost tells him that in the future he (the ghost ) sees an empty chair by the fire. This is to mean that Tiny Tim was to soon die.

He isn't a blood relation to Scrooge, but the son of Scrooge's secretary Bob Cratchitt. He is paraplegic and of poor health, only being able to walk with the aid of crutches.

During his visitation by the Spirit of Christmas to Come, Scrooge is shown that he has the power to save Tiny Tim's life by paying for his medical bills, but if he fails, the child will die. Scrooge sees a vision of Tim lying dead in his bed, with Bob Cratchitt in tears and Mrs. Cratchitt cursing Scrooge for refusing to help out.

After reforming, Scrooge does indeed help Tim to become well and strong again by doubling Cratchitt's salary and paying for the medical treatment the child needs.

Scrooge asks the spirit if Tiny Tim will live, and the spirit responds by saying, "I see a vacant seat in the poor chimney corner, and a crutch without an owner, carefully preserved." This implies that Tiny Tim will die unless the future changes.

He saw a young boy who was ill yet tried to be positive - he felt empathy for the boy as he (Scrooge) had been abandonded by his father in a boarding school for many years

He treats Tiny Tim very well after meeting the spirits. He treated him as a son.
