The child lock would only prevent the inside handle from working, it would still open from outside. With both handles inop, chances are the latch/lock mechanism is screwed. Very often the only way to get it open will be to work the inside panel off it, then destroy the lock with a hammer and prybar. Once the inside panel is removed, try soaking it in WD40 first and working the latch levers manually. If the lock is simply corroded or gunked, sometimes that will free it up without damage.
