After a child process is created using $\texttt{fork()}$, it is placed in the ready state, meaning it is ready to execute and waiting for CPU allocation.

The operating system scheduler decides whether the parent process or the child process will execute next. 

Therefore, the child process does not necessarily enter the running state immediately after its creation.

Hence, the statement is False.
