When running a simple Node.js application like:

var child_process = require('child_process');

child_process.exec('ping www.google.com -t', function (err, stdout, stderr){
    if (err) {
        console.log("child processes failed with error code: " +
            err.code);
    }
    console.log(stdout);
});

If you terminate the running process the "ping www.google.com -t" child process is still running even when the parent process is already killed.

This happens with one or more children processes.
