...as @abctax55 said, you'll have to file 1040x for the kid. Even after accepted I doubt you'll be able to efile parents return claiming the kid...

file kids 1040x electronically if you can; then paper file parents return enclosing a copy of the kids amendment and explanation.

Your phrasing indicated otherwise....

Kid's return has to be amended to fix the "I'm someone else's dependent". May/may not have any tax consequences.

Once that amendment is processed by the IRS, you can than file the parent's return. But, it's going to take a while for the amendment to be processed. You may want to paper file the parent's return claiming the dependent.
