Apparently that was revealed in 3.08 when right before Rumple and Malcolm go to Neverland. Yes, Malcolm was sold to be a blacksmith's apprentice (I think). And he seems so childish in Neverland because that was the place he went to play and travel and felt free in.

Also, remember Neverland is a dream world and only made real when real people, Malcolm and little Rumple travel there physically through magic.
