It's when you have forum boards categorised  so say the MCU section was categorised, each section would be a "child board" of the main section

Makes sense a moderator would reply about boards in a forum... but I think the OP might've been referring to PCBs, in which case a child board is a smaller board that's plugged into a motherboard.

can even be used to refer to a mod board, where the designers removed an IC and fitted a pcb on legs in place to modify the function, i've seen this many times with older digital panel meters,

It is the Politically Correct™ term for "daughter-board"*.

* I only use the term "daughter-board" for illustrative purposes. No SEXISM should be inferred from that usage.
