According to 2 Kings 6:25-3 , the Bible mentions a horrible story; a woman cooked her son and ate him. When the king heard such a he tore his robes.
As the king was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, "Help me, my lord, O king!" This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.' we cooked my son and ate him; but the next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him.
This inhuman, barbarous, cruel, ruthless, heartless, merciless story is not found in the Quran.

25 There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, "Help me, my lord the king!"
27 The king replied, "If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?"
28 Then he asked her, "What's the matter?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.'
29 So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him."
30 When the king heard the woman's words, he tore his robes. As he went along the wall, the people looked, and there, underneath, he had sackcloth on his body.
