Answer
if there is no door edge guard on the edge of the door sometimes with a flashlight and a coat hanger bent with a hook on the end you can get to the child lock and move it over so it can be opened from inside.this is the easiest and less damaging way.it will not be easy to see but you should be able to see it with your head at the right angle use the other rear door as a reference.
