 1. Create a taxonomy on something 'non standard'[[BR]]

 2. Create a (parent) term.[[BR]]

 3. Create a child term. [[BR]]

 4. Retrieve child terms of the parent term using, amongst others,
 get_term_children().

 Roughly:

 {{{
 register_taxonomy( 'where-you-live', 'user', array('hierarchical' => true,
 'show_ui' => true, 'query_var' => true, 'label' => __('Where they live'))
 );

 $country = 'USA';
 $state   = 'New York';

 $tax_country = wp_insert_term($country,  'where-you-live');
 $country_term_id = $tax_country['term_id'];
 wp_insert_term($state, 'where-you-live',
 array('parent'=>$country_term_id));

 $state_terms = get_child_terms($country_term_id, 'where-you-live');
 error_log(print_r($state_terms,1));
 }}}

 I am expecting an array containing the 'New York' child term, but I get
 nothing.[[BR]]
 Have also tried get_terms() with child_of or parent args, which also fail
 (presumably for the same reason?).
