I do not think so. He/she is an illegal immigrant the time her tourist visa expired. And I really doubt that he/she will be able to get a visa or "green card" without leaving the country first. But, if that child has a parent or brother or sister over 21 years old who is in the US legally those relatives could apply for a visa to bring him/her to the US legally. Also, as far as I know, you first have to be a legal permanent resident (have a permanent resident alien card, or "green card") to apply for citizenship.
