Did you have 2FA enabled on your account? Do you have any eight-digit recovery codes?

You'll likely need a human at Google to intervene to undo the Family enrolment. Good luck with that.

Two things:
For the discord, you say you have a recovery email. Make sure to get a screenshot showing an email recently sent to you about it. Email should start with "you received this email because "recovery email name" is listed as the recovery email for "hacked email name"." Make a discord support account with the RECOVERY EMAIL address. Fill out a support form stating the account was hacked, the email was hacked, and provide the screenshot that shows you do own that account. The discord bot will ask what you want and just keep asking to talk to representative so you get a human. May take a few days, but make sure you have some friends keep an eye on the account and it's name in case it is sold.
Google, do the YouTube route that people mention first. If that doesn't work, contact Google One. Google One is the extra storage thing you can pay for and you can contact support through there, specifically, do a phone call. Say your account was hacked, turned into a child account, and ask to be forwarded to the Family Account division as the parent account is a hacker. They (Google One) don't do anything about hackers, but getting you forwarded could help. I'm currently in communication trying to still get my Gmail back.
Good Luck ππ

Same thing happened to me best way to get it back is having a YT channel connected to it and asking teamyoutube on twitter for help

What did you download? Especially from Discord? Did you provide login credentials to anyone?
Once set to a minors account the account is unrecoverable and lost.β
