Historically, conquerors killed children because they saw them as a generation of enemies. They would mix with the local population so that they would have genetic control.

The Nazis usually killed the women and children as soon as possible and kept the men alive to be worked to death on starvation rations as slave laborers. The vision was to create an Aryan nation, so children who met the criteria were sent away to school. In addition, the Nazis had a program called Lebensborn to increase the numbers of Aryan people.

If you are instead talking about some of the events in Africa the adults were killed and the children were kept high on drugs and given weapons to fight against their own people. The adults would have resisted this but the children were naive and controllable.

Native American tribes and others would take children as hostages after battles. This provided for genetic variety and kept the population healthy.
