Well, there are a few times in which I believe that "child murderer" is significant. An example being Stephen King's The Green Mile. The rape and murder of the two girls is what drives the plot of the book; it serves as the reason to why John Coffey was sentenced to death despite him being proven innocent while residing in the prison.

Another example is It. The death of Georgie at the hands of the titular interdimensional entity is what motivates Bill into avenging his slain brother. So, yes, I do think that "Child murderer" is significant enough to be distinguished from an ordinary murderer, especially if it has a huge effect on other characters.
