What is this "child pays for payment" thing
More intuitively, it could be called "receiver pays for sender." If a transaction lacks a transaction fee where it'd be able to be processed in a timely manner, the receiver ("child") can pay the tx fee so it'll be processed faster (or at all).

Does it mean that it would lead to another Tx in reality ? I mean to say, if Tx A has 0 mining fee and Tx B is using the o/p of Tx A, then Tx B can pay the miner fee for Tx A & Tx B to get them accepted fast ?

Pretty much so.
The ideal situation is that the miners will not consider the transaction one by one, but the whole chain of unconfirmed transactions.

note that some miners (eligius) implement a "child pays for parent" policy:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1647

There's also some info on the Eligius website, that's all I could find.

afaik eligius has implemented this, but i also would like to know which other pools do so.

Do you have a link to any information stating that this is true, or is it just something you think you heard someone say somewhere once?

None that I'm aware of, but I sincerely hope that miners (and pools) will begin implementing this functionality soon.  It would be more profitable for them, and significantly improve the usability of Bitcoin.
