Here is the setup: 2 lists with parent child relationship. On the
parent list, I have a itemdeleting event handler to delete the
corresponding items from the child list. Everything works fine except
the deleted items from the child list are not stored in the recycle
bin. The deleted parent list item is indeed available in the recycle bin.

Is this a bug or by design?

How do I make sure the deleted child items are available in the
recycle bin?
