if ($('#child').closest('#parent').length > 0) {
    // child is inside parent
}

You check if the child has any ancestors. You can read more about the .closest() function here: jQuery docs .closest()

if($("#child").closest("#parent").length) {
  // Luke, I'm your father
}

These should also do:

if($("#parent #child").length) {
  // Noooooooo!
}
if($("#parent").find("#child").length) {
  // May the force be with you
}
if($("#parent:has(#child)").length) {
  // Very powerful jQuery selector has become
}
