Yes, there have been numerous cases where chimps have eaten human children. For instance, Frodo, the alpha male of the Gombe community, ate the baby of a Gombe National Park employee on May 15, 2002. What happened was the employee's wife and teenaged niece, who was carrying the baby, were walking on a footpath when they startled Frodo. He grabbed the baby and climbed up into a tree and started to eat it. They did not euthanize him because the wife had broken the rules by bringing the baby to such a dangerous area and because he was simply acting on instinct. Chimps eat small monkeys, which look very similar to a human baby. See the attached links below for more info.

What evidence is there that humans did NOT descend from chimpanzees?

Humans did not directly descend from modern-day chimpanzees; rather, we share a common ancestry with them.
