According to the documentation here 
: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/location-targeting, 

"LocationCriterionService allows you to request the parent locations for a 
location. This is done by adding ParentLocations to the list of selector 
fields. For example, our previous code returned the location (Quebec city) 
as well as its parent location (Canada). This feature is useful if you want 
to display a hierarchical list of locations to your customers, or if you 
want to add inclusion or exclusion logic for geo locations while targeting 
your campaigns."

Yet from the examples, this only looks to be possible if we start towards 
the bottom of the location hierarchy and work our way up. I would however 
like to display a selectable list of US locations based on state. That is a 
user would select a US state and from there a list of child locations would 
be displayed for them to choose from. I intend to use this location in a 
TargetingIdeaServiceInterface 
search, so I need the exact id or LocationName to pass to the search. 

I can't seem to find a programmatic way to discover the child Locations of 
a particular Location. I've attempted to search for all Locations that have 
a particular ParentLocation, but ParentLocations is not an acceptable 
Predicate. I understand that I could persist the  targets 
table<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/geotargeting> 
data 
in a database to do this, but this would require me to keep abreast of 
updates so I would prefer the dynamic approach. 

I'll bet I'm missing something, and this approach is possible. Any ideas?
