Why not just 

ALTER TABLE tbl_Foo CHANGE `ID` `CHILD_ID` <<options go here>>

Since I don't know the rest of your options or what you want to change the
column to, that's just for the name change.

I'm not sure if this will work for a column name but there is a CHANGE
COLUMN feature in the  ALTER TABLE statement so that sounds promising. Then
again, I don't have a MySQL system to try it on this week - I am travelling
- so I can't be sure if it will work for the column name.

I cannot find any information on this, so I am thinking the answer is no.
But I have a column that I would like to change the name of:

current the column name is"ID", and I would like it to change it to
"CHILD_ID", as the the software is changing, and we are adding  "parent_id"
column.

Thanks,
Scott
