intersect

Given an IList<Foo> with a data set that looks like this:

ID   CHILD  PARENT TYPE  
1   102    101    UPSELL  
1   103    101    UPSELL  
2   102    101    BONUS  
2   104    103    BONUS  
3   102    101    BONUS  
4   102    101    PRODUCT  
4   104    102    PRODUCT

How can I use LINQ to find the intersection of Parent and Child values withing each ID? Desired output is

ID   CHILD  PARENT TYPE 
4   102    101    PRODUCT
