Maya "invalid object type"

I am having an error of (Invalid object name: [u'locator1']) when I run my code as show below:

loc = cmds.spaceLocator()
selectedJoints = cmds.ls(sl=True)
childJoint = cmds.listRelatives( selectedJoints[0], children = 1 )
cmds.aimConstraint(childJoint, selectedJoints[0], aim = (1,0,0), u=(0,1,0), worldUpObject = loc, worldUpType= 'object')

The error seems to show up when I run the last code which is

cmds.aimConstraint(childJoint, selectedJoints[0], aim = (1,0,0), u=(0,1,0), worldUpObject = loc, worldUpType= 'object')

I know, somehow I need to capture the object in order to work, but I quite don't know how to, I am new to python. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

childJoint = cmds.listRelatives( selectedJoints[0], children = 1 )

Will return a list and you need to pass the index like this

if childJoint:
    cmds.aimConstraint(childJoint[0], selectedJoints[0], aim = (1,0,0), u=(0,1,0), worldUpObject = loc, worldUpType= 'object')
