One way to do this would be to log into the unwanted "child" account and request deletion of the Apple ID. You should have the ID and password from when you first set up the account, or can recover the password according to information provided in the referenced links below.

Section: Can I delete my child’s account?

"Your child can also request deletion of their Apple ID, which requires your approval."


If you have problems doing that then contact Apple about this request: Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product and work your way down the menu to the desired issue. If you don't see one then try a different product until you reach a telephone or chat help request and ask to be redirected.
