No — it is not safe. Chicken (raw OR cooked) cannot stay at room temp overnight.
Food safety rules in U.S. + international food safety standards = max 2 hours outside fridge.
After that, bacteria like Salmonella / Campylobacter can multiply fast even if chicken looks/smells normal.
For the kids → throw it away. Please do not risk it.
