Child process code:

void Ticker(int n = 10)
{
  if (n <= 0 || n > 100)
     n = 10;
  while (n--)
  {
     cout << " " << n;
     Sleep(1000); // in milliseconds
  }
  cout << endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    Ticker();
    return 0;
}

Parent process sceleton (start as new console app):

void Test()
{
  STARTUPINFO sinfo;

  memset(&sinfo,0,sizeof sinfo);
  sinfo.cb = sizeof sinfo;
  sinfo.lpTitle = "Child";

  PROCESS_INFORMATION pinfo;
  memset(&pinfo,0,sizeof pinfo);

  if (!CreateProcess("exechild.exe",
		0,
		0,
		0,
		FALSE,
		CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,
		0,
		0,
		&sinfo,
		&pinfo))
  {
    cout << "*** Can\'t create process..." << endl;
    return;
  }
	
  cout << "I\'m waiting..." << endl;
  Sleep(5000); // watch child console window...

  cout << "Let\'s kill him..." << endl;
  if (TerminateProcess(pinfo.hProcess,1)) // brutal force
     cout << "RIP" << endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    Test();
    return 0;
}

Try this snippet then adopt it...
Good luck!
