They did not obtained the account information for the child's account. What happened is they won a judgment against the author and subsequently obtained a court ordered levy against the author's bank account (or accounts.) The bank was served with a court ordered levy against the author's bank account and the bank properly attached the levy to EVERY ACCOUNT the bank had with the author attached to it.
A MINOR CHILD cannot have a bank account without an adult also on the account-in other words, either a joint account or a trust account. If it was a trust account, the author can approach the court that granted the judgment and bank levy to have the funds returned to the trust account.
If they account was used to hold SS survivor benefits (or any other governmental benefits payable to the child) the author can have the same court that ordered the levy order them to return the funds. That said, the author is going to have to PROVE that the funds belonged solely to the child with documentation-need to establish that the author's and child's funds were not co-mingled.
Either way, the author is going to have to get the court to order the child's funds be returned.

They couldn't have just pulled it out of the air.
Did you use his account as collateral for the money you admit you owe them?
My guess is the one "robbing from the kids" is YOU. "Cheap cheap."
How sad.
Even sadder, you attempt to shift blame to them.
