I have a table group setup on a report. I have a child table attached to one of the peer tables. but for some odd dependency reason I cant seem to style the child table, it only shows whatever styling the parent has. I need the children to be indented and not bold. but right now they are following the parent by being bold and not indented.  
I'll show an example of how I want it VS how it is:

What do your data sources look like?

I do not think you need a child/parent table in this case. You probably want table grouping instead, but hard to say without knowing how the data is being pulled in.

The data is being pulled from the same data source. Each SecurityStatusName has a SecurityStatusGroup

Can you supply a sample dataset? I still do not understand the data structure.
