Person out of Taraweeh Salaah or a child correcting the Imaam in Taraweeh Salaah

Q: 

1. Can a person out of Taraweeh Salaah correct the Imaam. And what is the ruling? 

2. Can a child correct the Imaam whilst in Taraweeh Salaah and out of Taraweeh, and what is the ruling of both? 

A: 

1. If a person out of the salaah corrects the imaam and the imaam accepts the correction, the salaah of the imaam and the entire congregation will break. 

2. If the child is performing salaah behind the imaam, then he can correct the imaam. 

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
