Note the GQ value, which is quite low for the child. You might consider filtering by quality.
You will run into this sort of thing on occasion. The general causes are (1) sequencing error (2) genotype call error (3) sample swap (this should be pretty obvious though) (4) non-paternity. The last one is more common than you would think (1-3% of cases where there's otherwise no dispute of paternity), though you'll again end up with a lot of sites like this.

Reading a vcf - genotypes
Hi, I am trying to understand the genotype calls in my vcf, a trio.
Looking at one variant of interest, the calls are:
Dad Mum Kid
0/2 2/1 1/1
How can the kid be 1/1?
The full information is:
FORMAT
GT:AD
P:GQ:PL
Dad
0/2:9,3,0:16:19.63:134,0,98,27,20,47
Mum
145 2/1:8,4,0:20:15.38:197,15,52,44,0,41
Child
1/1:7,2,0:11:1.37:113,31,61,9,1,0
Thanks for any help.

Metagenomics has improved the way researchers study microorganisms across diverse environments. Historically, studying microorganisms relied on culturing them in the lab, a method that limits the investigation of many species since most are unculturable1. Metagenomics overcomes these issues by allowing the study of microorganisms regardless of their ability to be cultured or the environments they inhabit. Over time, the field has evolved, especially with the advent...09-23-2024, 06:35 AM -
During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...09-09-2024, 10:59 AM
