Loop through targets till you find the child alias. ie:

For ix=1 To 1000 && 1000 is crazy high
  If ( Target(ix,lcParent) == Upper(lcChild) Or Empty(Target(ix,lcParent)) )
    Exit
  Endif
Endfor
If ( !Empty(Target(ix,lcParent)) )
  ? ix,TARGET(ix,lcParent),RELATION(ix,lcParent)
Else
  ? 'No relation'
Endif
