No ideas right now.
I still think this needs something to clarify that he's eating the child for sustenance, to distinguish this from Eats Babies.
Maybe something about how nutritious children are?
"Saturn's so power hungry, he's big bad wolfing down on his own kid." ?
Just two babies a day gives you all the evilium you need for a complete diet.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes."The butcher shop was out of veal."
"I don't think this is what they meant by "tender and ripe meat"."
I'm in the mood for some Baby Back Ribs
Too similar to the caption on Eats Babies for my liking.
Wait, Child Eater eat children for sustenance? If so, then the current image doesn't fit. Saturn/Cronus only eats his children to stop them from overthrowing him. He doesn't specifically eat only children.
It's not the only possible reason.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanActually, re-reading the description, this trope seem to be defined as creatures/monsters/villains who specifically targets children, be it for consumption or otherwise.

There doesn't seem to be caption consensus here, so closing now.
