You must have add web folder from parent theme into your theme. After add this folder into your theme you have to run command for deploy.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Magento – Child theme and fallback not working

The reason why is that Magento is looking only at your current theme and not really pulling from the parent. In order to do so you have to apply updates like so

parent theme

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<theme>
    <parent>rwd/default</parent>
    <layout>
        <updates>
            <wsu_base>
                <file>wsu_base_defaults.xml</file>
            </wsu_base>
        </updates>
    </layout>
</theme>

Child theme

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<theme>
    <parent>wsu_base/default</parent>
    <layout>
        <updates>
            <wsu_base>
                <file>wsu_base_defaults.xml</file>
            </wsu_base>
            <foundation_default>
                <file>defaults.xml</file>
            </foundation_default>
        </updates>
    </layout>
</theme>

You can read more on this from http://alanstorm.com/magento_infinite_fallback_theme_xml. Note that I have found that the css of the child is still getting skipped and have a question in on that.
