Well, yeah. It's IT: the whole story about a child-eating monster.
However, unlike the previous adaption, the first child killed is portrayed as graphically as in the book.
He has his arm torn off and is then dragged into the sewer by his ankles, screaming and crying.

A crowd of all ages are killed off screen- implied children deaths.
Not a death but similar: A teenager is brutally maimed by an animal while a younger child watches on in terror.

Teenagers die more often than young kids but both do die, often violently or on-screen at least, this I suppose also goes for ghost kids which are sometimes 'killed' to dispel their spirit.
Child death is also referenced

Some might argue technically no, but for the sake of trigger warning, yes. (Major story spoilers) Most of the characters are revealed to be approximately 18 years old near the end of the story, but that doesn't mean much when throughout the entire game they themselves and the player believe they're 16 or so years old.

All the kids die, in multiple different timelines even. Death is treated very lightly in this, and although the majority come back in a form of god tier, a good portion only live on as spirits (which in turn, die as well).

One of the central plot point is the death of a teenager, and how other character react to it. One of the "neutral" endings involves a major teenager character commit suicide, another involves the main character (a teenager) committing suicide, and one of the bad endings involves the main character accidentally fatally stabbing themself.

A teenager dies and is revived a bit later in the episode. Seeing as a teenager is not yet an adult, it constitutes as a child dying.

At the beginning of the game ("The Hostage"), a little girl can die by falling off the roof if the player make the wrong choices. A child main character can also die at multiple points ("Stormy Night," "On the Run," "Battle for Detroit") if the player makes the wrong choices or fails QTEs. The game generally obscures the actual death, but in some scenarios the child's dead body is shown.
A main character's young child died in a car accident several years before the events of the game, and it had a large impact on said main character's personality and actions. Often discussed (depending on player choices) but not shown.

MAJOR SPOILERS: A baby, an adolescent boy, and 2 young twins all die. The only death actually shown onscreen is the adolescent boy, after he's possessed. Only the gory aftermath of the baby's death is shown, and the twin's death is heavily implied but never shown.
