Is the child traveling alone? The airline will have an unaccompanied minor policy and process. Delta's is here: https://www.delta.com/us/en/children-infant-travel/overview
It's gonna be similar as a regular passenger.
You should contact the airlines and they will set up a chaperone program for the child.
At least a photo ID of the child but perhaps something else,
