Layer Parenting Objects Separating

My students are working on their Walk Cycle projects. Many students are experiencing a breaking child-parent connections when creating keyframes. This issue is random and I cannot find any reason for it occurring, or a solution.

While sending this message, the current student having this issue had to repair the issue frame by frame. So I won't be able to add the screenshots until it happens again (with her or someone else)

But essentially, she has her character, all parts saved as graphic symbols, and the layer-parenting correctly done. She can create a keyfram and move the character, but when scrubbing back to a previous keyframe, random parts of the body would greatly change position, although still maintaining the child-parent link. There were times where the entire body would 'explode'.

Out of 20 students, this has happened to approximately a third of them.
