The 'Give Me the Child' meme originates from the 2001 Pixar film Monsters, Inc., featuring the villainous CEO Henry J. Waternoose. In this climactic scene, Waternoose reveals his true colors by demanding the human child, Boo, to power his factory, famously shouting the line. On social media, the template is used to depict someone—or something like the government or a corporation—aggressively trying to take or claim something precious. It has evolved into a versatile reaction image for expressing intense desire, greed, or the feeling of wanting to 'kidnap' something cute like a puppy or a friend's new baby.
