Essentially, title
I recall seeing one that was made a child post of the art it was traced from so is that the call? Should it be reported/flagged? Just left alone?

Flag it as trace and link the original piece in comments.

Thank you
Normally, you link to it if wanting to know, but flagging works. I'd assume if someone had permission to do it, they'd mention it at the source, like color edits of lineart. Moderators will know if it qualifies as an actual trace (copying line art mostly/exactly) versus just having the same position/pose.
One gotcha and why I was curious is sometimes it's the same artist under a different name, likely redrawn after many years. I tagged some with parent post for that reason, but I am pretty sure I double-checked the artist name, as it would have been the entire reason I thought to do it.
