I created 2 accounts for the same child, how do I remove one?

For family sharing, I was setting up an account for my child. It asked me to create an email for them. I did, went through the whole process, and at the end, it said the email was taken and to make a new one. So I did, and now I have two children on my family sharing with 2 separate emails, when I only have 1 child. How do I remove one when he/she is under 13?

Some people have been able to delete the account.  Make sure you sign out from the places in the 4th link before deleting the ID.
