Script isn't getting it's parents childs text button. How do I proceed?

script.Parent.SFrame.place.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	place("Thug", true, false)
end)

Basically, when you click that button, the place function is supposed to go off. It works perfectly fine normally, but when I try to use "Parent.SFrame.place", it doesn't work.

I'm not entirely sure how to get the script.Parent.SFrame(scrolling frame).place(textbutton)

Anyone know how I should proceed?
