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.
