As it should do if you have one <child/> element 
e.g.
<root>
	<child>me</child>
</root>

It'll get multiple <child> elements if there are more than one (I checked)

This would mean your xml should look like this and return <grandchild>
<root>
	<child>
		<grandchild>me</grandchild>
	</child>
</root>

I think what you want is...

Iterator i = doc.getRootElement().getChildren("child").iterator();
while(i.hasNext())
{
	Element child = (Element)i.next();
	Iterator i2 = child.getChildren().iterator();
	while(i2.hasNext())
	{
		Your code here
	}
}
