Try running lynx/wget/w3m on the child cache server, configured to use
the parent can't be reached. That should give you some info.

ie (assuming bash)
$ export http_proxy=http://parentip:parentport/
$ wget http://some.testsite.com/

if that works, then the communication for http is fine.
If you are using ICP, and that is blocked, then squid may think that
parent is down even if it isn't. Check the cache.log for errors or
messages.
