Also, the relation remains after I remove the parent accounts (which is authorized).

[alainm at gemini ~]$ sacctmgr list account name=parent2
   Account                Descr                  Org 
---------- -------------------- -------------------- 
[alainm at gemini ~]$ sacctmgr list account name=child1
   Account                Descr                  Org 
---------- -------------------- -------------------- 
    child1               child1              parent2 
[alainm at gemini ~]$
