OK, so this is intended to be a view template segment that is activated for 
these child tiddlers? 

If so, the following filter can be used to determine whether the current 
tiddler is tagged with a tag that is itself tagged with “parent”:

[<currentTiddler>] -[tag[parent]tagging[]]

The filter will return an empty result set if the current tiddler is tagged by 
a tiddler tagged “parent”. So, you should be able to do something like this 
within your view template segment:

<$list filter="[<currentTiddler>] -[tag[parent]tagging[]]" 
emptyMessage={{$:/_MyTemplateForChildTiddlers}} variable="ignore"/>

Then, in $:/_MyTemplateForChildTiddlers you’d have the template that is only 
displayed for tiddlers tagged by tiddlers tagged “parent”.

Best wishes
