%%%I wonder if this is a bug or not implemented, but if i try to access the child particles of a particle system then there is a collection of child particles.- [x] But it is entirely useless, because the ChildParticle class contains no properties to read any data.[2]

%%%Not implemented yet, is a todo item. It's a bit complicated because their coordinates aren't actually stored by generated dynamically.%%%

%%%Is there some way to generate/compute them in the same way? Would be essential for a current project.%%%

%%%If the particles are used for instancing objects, you could get the position/rotation/scale from the object dupli list.%%%

%%%I would need the hair particles and their hair keys. :(%%%

%%%PS: Is there some way to convert children to parents?%%%

%%%No that I know of, however the Convert button on the particle system modifier seems to work with child particles. It will create a mesh with vertices & edges for hairs.%%%

%%%Not the best solution. But at least it is a starting point.%%%
