    @RogerFischer4

    Just click on the pencil icon alongside the child's name (positioned under the parents). Against the child's name you now click on "Remove or replace". Check the "I have reviewed the relationships, sources, and notes for these individuals" box, then either "Remove" to simply detach the relationship with parents or "Replace" to position them under the correct parent(s). In detaching the relationship, just provide a simple reason statement, like: "Added to these parents in error".
