How to stop propagating event from parent div to child div

Check target for match clicked object. Try this code in beginning of click event handler.

if( event.target !== this ) {
       return;
}
//...do stuff.. 

you need to stop propagating in child,not parent so you should write this:

 $('.listed-category').click(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
});

and if you want to click a tag and stop propagation too,you also need to write this:

 $('a#close').click(function(event){
    event.stopPropagation();
});

Anyways I will suggest Yuriy's answer. I just want you to know that you should put event.stopPropagation() in childrens(if you don't want event of parent is run),instead of parent.
