How do I reporting capital gains for a child on parents return?

I am working on a parent's return where the child has roughly $2,000 in investment income.  I am able to report the interest and dividends on the parents return but how do I report the capital gain from the sale of stocks?

You can't. Child has to file own return in this situation.

The more I know, the more I don't know.
