I don't understand the use of parent and child here.

You say squid2 is the child.

You don't actually say that squid1 is the parent, but that's the implication,
since there are only two machines.

For requests from the LAN, the first proxy they hit is squid1, that then passes
on the squid2, which then makes the request to the outside world.

That means that squid1 is the child and squid2 is the parent.

Also, you say that "squid2 works as a transparent proxy for WAN connections",
but unless the spacing on my mail client's rendition of your Ascii Art is
messed up, that WAN connection is over the Internet (so how does your routing
work to enable it to be a transparent proxy)?

Please could you repeat the diagram using correct hostnames and IPs, and
explain how your WAN link gets to squid2?
