If you are talking about common earth worms, probably not sick from them directly but from the germs that may be on them. It depends on where the worms are kept or are living. The earth worm itself won't make you sick, in fact they are cooked and regularly eaten and enjoyed in some societies, but the compost or other soil they live in may be a problem if the worms are eaten raw since that may be a source of contamination.

If it is not earth worms that you are talking about, then yes, some worms are parasitic in humans and other mammals and can make you very sick. Dogs and other pets can be infected with these worms and, if you suspect a child ate a worm other than a common earth worm, then you should consult a health care professional. Take one of the worms in a baggy to them when you see them so they can identify the specific type. Don't touch with bare hands and wash your hands well after handling.
