I hope this code is self commenting ;)

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScriptAttachedToParent : MonoBehaviour 
{
    void Start () 
    {
        transform.GetChild (0).GetComponent<ScriptAttachedToChild> ().enabled = false;

        // OR
        //transform.Find("ChildGameObject").GetComponent<ScriptAttachedToChild> ().enabled = false;
    }
}

Jez since you're rockin' the site, it's worth checking for duplicates first. You get more points for finding dupes! – Fattie Feb 01 '16 at 12:04
the script is not attached to the parent,hence i can not find the script in GetComponent ,your answer solved half of my problem – Piyush Damania Feb 01 '16 at 12:21

You should not have more then one same component on one gameObject. – Jerry Switalski Feb 01 '16 at 13:10
