Are there any statistics related to this practice? I'd like to know how many Serbian children the Turks stole.

Very hard to come by, the best I have is that between the 15th and 17th century a total of about 200,000 recruits were taken into the system from the Balkans. This includes Albanians, Bosnians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Greeks, Romanians, Serbs, Hungarians, Vlachs... etc. etc.
The majority were probably Albanians, Bosnians, Bulgarians and Serbs... Bosnians and Albs were taken when they were both Muslim and Christian.
Ill try and see if I can get my hands on some actual statistics, which are probably not translated
