Ryan,

The main difference is that for latches which there are multiples, such as 
cache buffers chains, there is only one parent row in v$latch_parent, whereas 
there is one row per latch in v$latch_children.  Also, the statistics are only 
valid in the corresponding view.  Meaning, GETS, SLEEPS, etc are only populated 
in v$latch_children for those latches where children are present, such as CBC.  
For those where there's only one, such as shared pool, that data is only 
populated in v$latch_parent.

I've been looking at v$latch_children and v$latch_parent and I'm having trouble 
seeing the differences?
