Instanciate prefab as child in Unity3D - unity3d

Question

i want a gameObject to add instanciatetd objects prom a prefab as his chiled.
so i wrote this code:
public class TgtGenerator : MonoBehaviour {
public SpriteRenderer spriteTgt;
public Sprite[] targets;public SpriteRenderer spriteTgt;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
generateRandTgt ();
}
void generateRandTgt(){
SpriteRenderer tgt = GameObject.Instantiate (spriteTgt, getRandPosition (), Quaternion.identity)as SpriteRenderer;
tgt.sprite = randSprite ();
}
Sprite randSprite(){
var length = targets.Length-1;
Debug.Log (Random.Range(0,length));
return targets[Random.Range(0,length)];
}
Vector3 getRandPosition(){
float xScale = gameObject.transform.localScale.x / 2;
float yScale = gameObject.transform.localScale.y / 2;
float x = Random.Range(-xScale,xScale);
float y = Random.Range(-yScale,yScale);
float z = 0;
return new Vector3 (x, y, z);
}
the instantiated object is getting his size from the prefab like i wanted to.
but the problem is it instanciated at the root node of the hirarchy so they are not placed inside of the gameobject coordinate like i wanted to.
when i am adding this line of code just after the instaciate line :
tgt.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
it generated as a child like i wanted to but it gets huge and upside down.
how should i manage this?

Try Using This To Force Child To Have It's Own Scale After Being a Child:
var localScale = child.transform.localScale; // store original localScale value
child.transform.parent = parent;
child.transform.localScale = localScale; // force set
