    Go to the main page for his parent. Click on the pencil icon against his name and this opens a Parent-Child Relationship box. Click on "Remove or Replace" under "Child". Check the box saying "I have reviewed the relationships, sources, and notes for these individuals", then click on "Remove Parents". Provide a reason statement (e.g. "Added to these parents in error"). Finally, click on "Remove" and he will disappear as a child in that family. As an alternative, you can click on "Replace Parents" (instead of "Remove.."), if you know his correct parents (and their ID references) and want to place him under them straightaway.
