Although many of the races on Azeroth have children, the majority of NPC children in the game are human. A few dwarf, night elf, and orc children do exist in-game. Very few, if any, Forsaken, gnome, tauren, or troll children have been seen in-game. There are distinct models for children of human, orc, blood/high elf, and draenei. The children of all other races currently in-game use the shrunken version of the adult models. Babies of all races are also shown in WoW.
Children are unkillable NPCs. They cannot be attacked and are not caught in AoE attacks. Presumably, the designers feel that the possibility of killing children would not be appropriate game content. Games that allow violence against children would get higher content ratings[1] in some countries.
