Hello rich.fore,



We see you have some questions regarding a child Apple ID account, and we can help out.


It is correct that a child account cannot be just removed from a Family Sharing group, but there is the option to move them to a different Family Sharing group, or delete the account. Information on that here: Move a child to another group using Family Sharing


General info on changing an Apple ID can be located here: Change your Apple ID


Cheers.
