I don't know about a child, but around here coyotes eat a lot of cats. I once came across a coyote with something in its mouth, walking down the street early in the morning. I was in my car, I slowly followed it, before long it spooked, dropped its stuff, and ran off. I got out to see what it had been carrying, it was the front half of a cat.
