There's different requirements and possibilities to change the age on an account depending upon the age of the person, their target age, and the country's age definition of "child".
If you need to contact Apple about this, this support page has information about Apple support and service ➔ Contact Apple Support - Apple Support If live support options (chat and/or telephone) are available they will show near the bottom left.
- Telephone numbers may only work when calling from the same country.
- Chat options (telephone numbers appear as active links, not plain text) may depend upon cellular connectivity. If a number shows as an active link, click on it to see additional options.
