NO THEY DON'T.

Think of it this way it is not like your mom would kill you.

Actually, yes they do. Boar bears (male bears) have been known to actively go about and kill young cubs if they are not watched by their mother or if the mother has been scared off or beaten so badly that she can no longer defend them.
