    You can get the child through the transform. The question is, which child do you want to destroy? All children? Only ones with a certain tag? Only GameObject with ParticleSystems attached?
    Code (csharp):
    1. Destroy(transform.GetChild(0).gameObject);

    Then that code should work just fine!
    Code (csharp):
    1. // Check if we have a child to destroy.
    2. if (transform.childCount > 0) {
    3.   Destroy(transform.GetChild(0).gameObject);
    4. }
