First remove the Door panel on the vehicle and make sure any of the lock or handle rods are not broken or diaconected.

Secondly if that's not the problem you may have a broken door latch. Price varies per brand name on parts but it should not be a huge fix.

How do you open a door with child lock on and wont open from outside?

Take the door panel off. U will need to rip part of the interlining off and reach in by the locking mechanism (Door latch). The is a series of rods connecting to the lock. You should be able to disable the safety feature by manually moving rod connected to lock. The rod you are looking for will open the door as though you were opening it from the outside. If you still cannot open the door that way you should be able to disable the safety lock by pushing on a different rod which is connected to the safety switch. That will allow you to open it from within the car.
