     * <p>
     * This might not cover all possible {@link Parent} implementations but it's
     * a decent crack. {@link Control} implementations all seem to have their
     * own method of storing children along side the usual
     * {@link Parent#getChildrenUnmodifiable()} method.

     *            The parent of the node you're looking for.
     * @param id
     *            The ID of node you're looking for.
     * @return The {@link Node} with a matching ID or {@code null}.
