If a parent is legal US resident in the us and the underage child isn't can the child be legalized?
As far as i know the parent would have to first become a citizen, moving them from legal resident status, once the parent files for US citizenship he/she also files for the underage child/ren. the under age child/ren then automatically become citizens the same time as the parent. This is what my father in law and many others i know did when they migrated to the US.

What happens when a child is at school and a parent gets deported?
If the child is a legal citizen they go to the closest legal relative, if there is no one to take the child they go into foster care.
