US citizens can relinquish their citizenship if they
wish, by going to a US consulate, and completing the
appropriate forms, and then having those forms accepted
by a consular officer.

On the other hand, parents of a US citizen cannot perform
any action that would cause the loss of US citizenship
for their child. So, for instance, a parent of a US citizen
could not apply to give up his child's US citizenship or
do any other action that would cause the child to lose
his or her US citizenship. The child must make that request
himself, and when the child is under age eighteen, the consular
officer must be convinced that the child is aware of the
consequences of renunciation. The State Department will,
in general, not even consider any request to give up
citizenship made by a US citizen minor, unless the child
is at least fourteen years old.
