Assuming I am wearing dry leather shoes with rubber soles, and I'm not standing in water, I would kick the child's hand away (gently) from the scissors to break the circuit (without me getting electrocuted as well). To try to turn off the power at the mains would take too long. Also, my rubber soles meant I was not grounded to earth, and I could grasp the child's dry clothing (using one hand) and drag the child away to safety.
Obviously, the better option would be to not allow an open electrical outlet, an unsupervised child armed with metal scissors anywhere near electrical appliances and installations whatsoever.
There is the possibility that the electrical shock would throw the child clear - then the emergency services and administering CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if the child is unconscious would possibly be needed.
