Depends on size. Tigers normally hunt and kill buffalo; there's no reason for them to prefer hunting human children to hunting adults.

Cats, dogs, and many carnivores have large litters but high mortality of young animals so they are able to locally explode their population in response to the availability of food. Thus if you feed them you can get a lot of them quickly.
