How to I detect a part's parent?

I've been building a game in which the player has to shoot an object through a device. The object in question gets cloned from a folder into the physical workspace. However, it can't execute code based on what its parent is, a vital part of the script.

I've simplified the script and put it below. Can you help me?

while true do
    wait()
    if script.Parent.Parent == game.Workspace  then
        script:Remove()
    end
end
