Mysql - Stored procedure OUT variable return null

My Table Structure is:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `child`;

CREATE TABLE `child` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;


DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `map_parent_child`;

CREATE TABLE `map_parent_child` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `parent_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `child_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `unique_parent_child` (`parent_id`,`child_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `parent`;

CREATE TABLE `parent` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

I have create a stored procedure like 

DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `test`.`sp_parent`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `sp_parent`(
    IN parent_name VARCHAR(255),
    IN child_name VARCHAR(255),
    OUT parent_id INT(11))
BEGIN   
    DECLARE parent_id INT DEFAULT 0;
    DECLARE child_id INT DEFAULT 0;

    START TRANSACTION;

        INSERT INTO `parent` (`name`) VALUES(parent_name);      

        SET parent_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();

        INSERT INTO `child` (`name`) VALUES(child_name);

        SET child_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();

        INSERT INTO `map_parent_child` (`parent_id`,`child_id`) VALUES(parent_id,child_id); 
    commit;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

CALL sp_parent("test", "test", @parentid);

But when i try to fetch output variable using select then i get NULL however all INSERT statement work fine and adding record into the database table.

SELECT @parentid;

What i am missing here?

You might have already solved this by now, but the first thing I noticed about your stored procedure is that you have a local variable with the same name as the output variable (parent_id). It looks to me that you're setting the value of the local variable rather than the return variable, so the caller never sees the correct value.

Perhaps removing the local parent_id variable declaration will solve your problem.

The syntax for setting the variable is incorrect, use : like,

SET parent_id := LAST_INSERT_ID();
 SET child_id := LAST_INSERT_ID();

or You can do the setting as 

select LAST_INSERT_ID() into parent_id;
