Populating List of Custom Child Objects from Query

I am trying to populate a list of custom child objects through a query.  The following code does not work
List<child__c> childlist;
childlist=database.query('SELECT child__r.last_name__c, child__r.first_name__c FROM parent__c');

Something like this:
 
List<Parent__c> parentList = [Select Id, (Select Name From Children__r) From Parent__c]; 
List<Child__c> children_for_parent = parentList.get(0).Children__r;  // children for first parent
 
Here the plural name for child in my setup is children - hence the children__r relationship name.  You would probably put in a loop here.
 
Hope this is what you are after.
