Crossovers
- AGENCY: The Nine are perfectly willing to hurt children for the sake of their goals, as shown with them kidnapping Marcus McCloud and D.W. Read.
- All For Luz:
- Governor Maxwell had over 33 kids, including Luz, kidnapped so that they could all die in his Summer Camp turned Deadly Game. Only six survive to be rescued.
- Tyler Wittebane has no problems hiring hitmen to go after Luz because she has superpowers who were all willing to try and kill the 14-year old, for $10 billion. "Try" being the key word here as Luz kills them first and steals most of their Quirks.
- Sheriff Johnson tried to have Luz gunned down even when she was surrendering. Big mistake as she finally snaps and wipes him and his squad out.
- A 24 year-old King has no problems throwing down with Toshiko, a teenaged girl, even before he knew she had powerful Quirks that allowed her to contend with his might.
- Aiya was just 16 years old when Tamashiki Shigaraki sexually assaulted her.
- When Hindter hears his opponent, Amity Blight, is a teenager, it doesn't make him pause or even consider going easy on the child.
Hindter: I’m gonna rip out ya insides, little brat. Easiest 100 Snails I’ll ever make.- All For One's canon grooming of Tenko and turning him into Tomura qualifies as this, as any chance Tenko had at a normal life was taken from him the second the Big Bad found him. He also intends to use Luz as his own personal Soul Jar, if he can't reach Tomura back in his world quick enough. Its also revealed that he did Quirk experiments on witch children when he invaded the Boiling Isles.
- The Bagges Take Ostania (Courage the Cowardly Dog & Spy X Family): Katz sells candy laced with nanomachines to children that could make them implode should they not get the antidote in time. He also intimidates Loid by threatening to drop Anya from his blimp should he not hand over the case containing the cure, but decides to drop her anyway out of spite.
- Ben 10: Unlimited: Like in canon, Dr. Hamilton betrayed Superman and Supergirl (who wasn't even seventeen yet) when he stole some of Kara's DNA while operating on her and used it to clone Galatea for CADMUS. Then he lied about it to her face when she, Four Arms, Green Arrow and Question came to ask about it. He was more than willing to experiment on Ben and the Ultimatrix as well (downplayed though, as Ben, while among the youngest Leaguers, is a legal adult by then). Waller only disagreed with him on this because she knew that Ben was the only person capable of understanding the Ultimatrix, and that he'd never work with them willingly.
- The Dragon and the Bow (How to Train Your Dragon & Brave): Merida is confronted by Mor'du, who intends to chop her head off and send it to her father as a "gift" in honor of the Highlanders' new alliance with Berk. The very idea briefly freezes her with fear as she stares at his BFS. She avoids its swing and runs as fast as she can, while Mor'du persistently chases after her. He also intends to kill the Triplets. In the climax, he tries to kill Hiccup and Fishlegs on separate occasions.
- Griselda the Grevious was perfectly willing to maim a six year-old Karla for her insolence in The Dragon and the Butterfly: Whiteout, the only thing stopping her being Dagur.

, Malleus Offing the Offspring:
he sired children for the sole purpose of sa-sacrificing them!- From "Divine Opposition, Part 1": When the devastation that was inflicted on the Avatar Isles was related:"This used to be lush forest, where fairies danced around standing stones. The laughter of their children turned into heart-rending screams as the Keepers' hordes boiled them alive!"

- As Ami relates in "Moving On"

- The Fated Task (Harry Potter & Hetalia: Axis Powers): England is deeply ashamed by the fact that he can hurt a child, as he almost killed a preteen Tom Riddle on the spot after speaking to him (to be fair, England was freaking out in front of young Tom's potential to grow into a terrorist) and considered forcing a Mind Rape on the physically twelve years old Sealand in the name of research. When the extremely pragmatic Japan tries to comfort him by defending his instinctive attempt to kill the future Voldemort, England is mortified.

- It's eventually revealed that Jesekiel Bexley, the beloved grandfather that Vera is so determined to avenge, once partook in the mass slaughter of Mogriffs when they were driven from their nesting grounds, even gleefully killing hatchlings and unhatched eggs. When Metalbeak confronted him about it, he justified himself by saying that he wouldn't let them grow into adults that could harm innocents.

Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra
- Blood Moon: Hama warns Katara that when they break out of their cage, the prison guards won't be merciful to them if they're caught, even though Katara is only a child. Though, hypocritically, Hama usually punishes Katara's defiance by bloodbending her.
- Cabin Fever (Southern Hearts): Despite being caged up and subjected to constant dehydration along with all of the other waterbenders of her tribe, Katara is still burned by Fire Nation guards from time to time whenever they feel like it.
- Fractures: Ozai. Maiming and scarring Zuko on the face wasn't enough. After imprisoning his son, he routinely visits the capital city prison just to torture him into submission.
- Still Stand in the Sun: Katara was handled roughly when she was captured and taken onboard the Fire Navy ship, and by the time she arrives at the Waterbender Prison she's horribly battered, bruised and beaten — possibly for the soldiers' amusement.
- In Back to the Future Prequel, Hank kidnaps the six-year-old Marty, threatens to shoot him if he doesn't stop screaming for help, and eventually throws him into an icy lake.
- Bruises: Callaghan kidnapping fourteen-year-old Hiro would be bad enough on its own, but he rendered Hiro incapable of fighting back by hitting him with his car. He never treats the injuries Hiro got from the incident, leaving the boy incapable of running or even walking too fast. And that's only the start of the abuse...
- Despite emulating a children's show, Calvin & Hobbes: The Series' villains have no qualms about trying to hurt Calvin and Andy. Then again, Calvin can easily fight back and the most recurring villain is Stupid Evil.

- In Camp Nightmare, the camp counselors eat little kids!
- Facing the Future Series: It is shown there are many, many villains who would definitely hurt a child.

- Hellsister Trilogy has Satan Girl, who has no qualms about killing little girls just because she is angry and they are conveniently nearby.
- The Redemption of Harley Quinn: The infamous time Harley murdered scores of children by making video game consoles explode plays a key story role. Also, Poison Ivy once used her mutant plants to destroy an amusement park and a South American tribe. Both undoubtedly had lots of kids.
- In the Teen Titans fanfic Two Steps Ahead, it turns out Kardiak isn't an actual robotic villain, but rather a remotely controlled drone stealing kids for a sex offender the police has not thought to check upon for the past twenty or so years. When the Titans arrive at the bastard's lair... well, with what they see and the guy's complete lack of remorse, let's just say no one blames Cyborg when he breaks the Thou Shalt Not Kill rule.
- The Volatileverse: Joker is downright eager to murder a thirteen-years-old Dick Grayson.
- A rare heroic and female example from Ten Versus Blight. When Kallian Tabris finds out that demon-possessed Connor killed elven servants of the castle, she gets furious and beats him up, making no difference between adult humans and children who mistreat elves.
- Dragon Ball Multiverse:
- Bojack, in Chapter 6.
- The Kaioshin of U1 also had no problem executing Freeza, Coola, and Broly when they were all children. Arguably, it was so that they couldn't threaten the universe, but still... (Besides, the Western Kaioshin killing Broly shows she is not okay AT ALL when doing it).
- According to the Cul-de-sac theory, Nazz was murdered by a Serial Killer along with her entire family. Kevin's father is also the cause of him being present in purgatory, having beaten his son to a bloody pulp in a drunken rage.

- The Girl with the Blood Red Hair features many villains (and protagonists) that are more than willing to hurt children. None more so than the completely sociopathic Cassandra Moore. She has no problem gunning down a crowd of innocent civilians which includes many children, she enjoys slaughtering entire villages and even goes out of her way to hunt down any children that may have survived. All of this is usually accompanied by her trademarked sadistic grin.
- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon):
- In a nod to the Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) novelization's Adaptation Expansion, Madison Russell mentions in the fic that Alan Jonah once casually ordered one of his men to slit her throat if her mother didn't behave. Furthermore, a deleted scene described by the author on her Tumblr would have confirmed that children are not exempt from being submitted to Jonah's Playing with Syringes which essentially turns the victims into horrific zombies.
- Children, human or Titan, are not exempt from being targeted by the Many in the slightest.
- MaNi/Elder Brother if anything seems to be encouraged by the idea of attacking a defenseless baby Titan (Manda).
- Specifically, Would Hurt a Baby Animal for the Makers in Abraxas: Empty Fullness. They violently captured three wild, juvile Dorats, and subjected them to painful and inhumane experimentation in order to turn them into Ghidorah, worse yet drilling a Terrible Ticking into their brains which screamed ceaselessly at them whenever Ghidorah wasn't using their powers to kill everything in sight. It's no wonder that the young Ghidorah turned on the Makers and wiped them out after they set it loose.
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed
- Everyone Lives With Knives subverts this with Jin Guangyao. He's perfectly willing to imply he'd hurt Jin Ling to keep Wei Wuxian in line, and considers all sorts of ways to keep him and his siblings in line...but as soon as he’s confronted by a very sick Jin Hua, he does everything to keep him alive.
- Downplayed by Wen Ruohan in A Matter Of Age. He acts the exact same to Nie Mingjue in the Fire Palace that he does in canon. What's changed is that Nie Mingjue is teen-aged, making Wen Ruohan's actions this.
- In Sail Away Sweet Sister, Jiang Yanli lays a curse on a young Xue Yang, who is about 3 years old at the time. Even though she welcomes him into her family, she still takes precautions to ensure that, if he ever hurts Jiang Cheng or Wei Wuxian, the curse will activate and kill him.
- Gravity Falls fan-comic Deal: Though working indirectly, Bill is not above tricking Pacifica into killing her infant son through blunt force.
- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality: One of Voldemort's Death Eaters asks if the recently resurrected and still unconscious Hermione Granger is there for their "entertainment." In his defense, he immediately suggests finding an older witch instead, but the fact that he thought of it at all doesn't speak well of him.
- Barty Crouch Jr. both would and repeatedly did in The Parselmouth of Gryffindor. Not only hurt, but ruthlessly murder.
- In Shifting Lines, Remus' father and Sirius' parents abuse them physically.
- Owl's Hell That Ends Well: After kidnapping the seven-year-old Octavia, Baron Wastes tortured, humiliated and brutalized the little owlet for three months before she escaped him, and at one point during that period he attempted to cut out her eyes.
- The Sun Will Come Up And The Seasons Will Change:
- The ABA doctors trying to "help" Mary do nothing but put her through abuse. The same goes for Dana, who watched them do it.
- Nora threw her brother out of the house in freezing cold weather note , later managed to crack his head on a table (showing no remorse for it), and (upon learning that Mary is autistic like her brother), threatens to kill her. And we thought Simon was bad... In Chapter 20, not only does she attempt to use Mary as bait for a Kauji, she shoots Mary in the shoulder and leaves her for dead.
- Invader Zim: A Bad Thing Never Ends: Aldrich Coathanger has an Irrational Hatred of children, not only trying to personally kill Dib by skinning him with a knife (which he implies he's done several times before to other kids), but intending to harvest enough Childergy (in ways that are physically harmful to the children he's taking it from) to warp reality so that children don't exist.
- The Ultimate Evil: Like in canon, Shendu is not above attempting to personally kill a child (primarily Jade) who's crossed him. In the first story's climax, he comes close to squeezing Jade to death.
- In It's not the Raptor DNA, Bridges rejects an organ match for Hart's daughter Clementine, resulting in her death.
- Dead Man Switch: After they had taken Kim to be tortured, stripped and beheaded, the Lorwardians begin an annual tribute in which 15 teenage girls are taken to be executed the same way. Word of God says the girls' severed heads were given to Lorwardia's elites as trophies, and develop a taste for human flesh. And this has been going on for 20 years before the start of the fic.
- The Portal: Zobek stabs the teenage dragon Blizzard (who is actually a human) with his tail, infecting him with his power.
- Missing Linc: Dirk O'Donnell had Lincoln kidnapped and would have kidnapped Clyde as well if Clyde's parents hadn't refused to let him leave the house. Later, when the Loud sisters unravel Dirk's plan, Lynn's intervention is the only thing stopping him from hitting Lucy.
- The Nightmare House has several of the kids' nightmares involve people hurting them:
- In Lana's, Dr. Mitchell numbs her and brainwashes her into acting like a stereotypical "good girl".
- In Lisa's, she gets spanked by an evil teddy bear, who believes she is a baby no less.
- In Lily's, a monster tries to eat her— and she really is a baby.
- Shattered Innocence: In this darker retelling of "No Such Luck", Lincoln is abducted and murdered by the Royal Woods Stalker — a notorious Serial Killer who had accumulated a large number of child victims prior to Lincoln.
- The Uplifted series features this in droves.
- Uplifted: Last Days features a disillusioned Waffen-SS Officer Joachim Hoch verbally abusing and manhandling a Jewish child he rescued from Buchenwald on a whim (considering the boy defied an order meant to keep him safe, it's somewhat understandable reaction) and accumulates with the horrifying murder of half a dozen children and their mother which Hoch considered family. Their home set on fire, all of their little bodies broken and hung on a single tree with signs on their necks proclaiming Hoch's betrayal of the National Socialists. The most agonizing part? they were dead before they even had a chance to save them. They had been murdered hours before his betrayal, before their father Gerald Langer made a deal to kill Hoch in exchange for their lives. Judging from the reviews, the author swiftly became a target of anger.
- Later in Uplifted: Arrival Hoch loses one of his last childhood friends to a Hitler youth kid who feigned a surrender. Hoch makes an example out of him by taking him to a public square and proceeded to carve a Swastika into the boys arm. and despite being a victim of seriously physically and emotionally Abusive Parents, he makes it quite clear he is a proponent of corporal punishment for misbehaving children and is not afraid to exchange his disciplines to quarian children, much to the horror of the more progressive-minded Quarians he's connected to.
- Uplifted: Last Days
- In Anything for You (set post-Spider-Man: Far From Home), a father and son capture Peter Parker and Morgan Stark, torturing Peter and threatening Morgan to keep him in line in an attempt to make Peter confess the ‘truth’ about Thanos and Quentin Beck and force the other Avengers to give the pair their time-travel technology (the pair lost their wife/mother and daughter/sister when Hulk undid the Snap and want to make the Avengers feel guilty for triggering the Snap that brought back those killed by Thanos).
- The Devil's in the details: "Me and Monsters" starts with Spider-Man and Jessica saving a group of children from a heavily armed group of anti-mutant terrorists.
- Rise from Darkness involves a corrupt politician requesting that Samus kill six people for him. This includes a prostitute he impregnated and the 6-year old son of another victim. None of the other's the politician asked would do such a hit, but Samus doesn't have the same moral issues as they do.
- Miraculous: Marinette's Predicament: You know Evillustrator is a much bigger threat than the first time when he kidnaps Louis and drops him from the Eiffel Tower.note
- The Fair Folk in Spellbound (Lilafly) just love children. Which is to say, given half a chance, they'll snatch children away from their parents just to watch their panicked screams.Children are such droll creatures.
- In Shigeko Kageyama AKA Mob, the evil organization Claw would hurt a child. Unlike canon, we see the way seeing the child/teenager you've known for four years and has been left in your care affects you and your relationship. Reigen becomes much more worried for Mob and clingy with her, exacerbating the feelings he had begun to develop for her.
- Mortal Kombat: Desperation:
- Raiden crosses the line when he mass-electrocutes the Lin Kuei, especially Sub-Zero and Frost, to a near-comatose state while killing off half of the clan - the worst part is that many of the dead or injured Lin Kuei were in their early teens.
- Later, he orders the destruction of Li Mei's village. Elder Gods know how many innocent men, women and children were slaughtered in their sleep.
- Apex Predator: Several examples, with the most prominent one being Izuku's father placing a hit on him out of spite. Aizawa Lampshades this trope when he expresses in dismay that he feels like the world is made up of children and those that hurt them.

- Whispered Tribulation: When Aizawa suspects that Izuku might be a mole, he kidnaps him with the intent of securing a 'confession' by any means necessary. Vlad King and Snipe act as his co-conspirators, similarly convinced that they're just conducting Dirty Business. Thankfully, Principal Nedzu disagrees and intervenes.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Beyond the Wall: Fairy Dust finds out the hard way that the villagers' punishment of immediately being executed for trying to go beyond the wall also applies to foals.
- A Brief History of Equestria:
- The Unicorn nobles who attacked then-Prince Aurum's family killed the foals as well, and chased him down in order to finish him off. Luckily, Star-Swirl the Bearded intervened.

- Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) also has a female protagonist accomplishing this. Pinkie Pie murders Diamond Tiara and Twist before doing the same to Rainbow Dash.
- In Dear Scootaloo, Feather Duster had no qualms about firebombing an orphanage and tossing foal Scootaloo off a cloud.
- A Diplomatic Visit: Doing this is a big crime in wolf society, and those who do so are permanently exiled from their lands.

Fortunately, this attempt was thwarted by a rather high-spirited member of the litter.
- Fallout: Equestria: Calamity has no problems shooting children who prove themselves as bad as the raiders. Unsurprisingly, this shocks Littlepip and Velvet Remedy the first time it happens to the point of starting a group argument over the situation.
- Count Logan wasn't a very good person to begin with, but in Friendship is Failure #10 he takes this trope to its most logical extreme by brutally ripping the head off of Flurry Heart. The reasons this scene was included are best not brought up here.
- Pages Of Harmony is another example of a female character putting this trope into effect - namely, Twilight Sparkle. She tortures and murders both Sweetie Belle and Spike. The worst part? The only reason they're harmed at that point is because Twilight fears that they'd find out about her plan to preserve harmony in Equestria by killing her friends to extract their Elements.
- Most of the villains in the Pony POV Series have no problem whatsoever with harming or even killing foals, with the only real exception being Princess Gaia/Nightmare Whisper.
- The Rainbooms and Royalty'verse story Hot Heads, Cold Hearts and Nerves of Steel has two examples.
- King Sombra has his minions kidnap every foal in Ponyville and several other towns so he can drain their life forces to make himself stronger.

- In Time to Plan, Tech Leader was willing to hurt Spike (whose age in canon equals that of an adolescent) by feeding him poisoned gems because he's a dragon. Spike fortunately survives, but Shining Armor notes he'll be in the hospital for weeks in order to flush the poison out of his system. When Tech Leader travels ten billion years into the future, she finds that Spike, now Spykoran, hasn't forgotten her attempted poisoning, but has long since forgiven her for it.
- Your Heart a Haven of Thorns:
- When Hiruzen refuses to cancel the Chuunin Exams, Kikyō berates him for being a lying Hypocrite who is needlessly risking the lives of everyone in Konoha due to his Skewed Priorities, especially the young genin taking the exam:Hiruzen: It is a calculated risk in order to promote village strength and lure out Orochimaru.
Kikyō: (snarling) Lure him into an arena full of children? How noble of you to make that sacrifice for them. - This also plays a key role in the Backstory. Many years ago, Enma was sent to bargain with the head of the Tiger clan. The Tigers wished to trade something for several of the Monkey clan's vassals, unaware that Enma had managed to offend said vassals so much that they were no longer loyal to his clan. Deliberately bargaining in bad faith, Enma was tricked into entering a room that had nothing of note and asked to pick something there in exchange for the vassals... and demanded the pelt of the Elder's beloved granddaughter, Yume. The Tigers' outrage over this only heightened once they learned they'd received nothing in exchange for their sacrifice, and Enma proudly wears Yume's pelt, confident that his father will ensure the Tigers never get any chance to take revenge.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
- Laying Waste To Halloween: Gabe shows that he would indeed, hurt a child, when he physically abuses his son, Percy.
- Pokémpanions: Serperior is more than willing to kill a 5-10 year old Mimikyu because another unrelated Mimikyu accidentally killed her son.
- Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
- Hunter J has no qualms about kidnapping Ash just for money.
- The Georgia Gaiden sidestory has her confronting a Serial Killer named "The Reaper", finding him just when he killed her parents, and he almost killed her too. Prior to that he had been already confirmed to have killed a seven-year-old child.
- The Bloodliner Hunter is implied to have a pretty high body count of people under the age of sixteen, with his youngest known victims being a pair of ten-year-old twins.
- In the fanfiction of Cori Falls, Jessie, James and Meowth take out all their rage on Ash and beat him up so bad that he suffers broken bones and memory loss, and later move on to using brass knuckles against him. The only reason Ash isn't killed outright is because the author hates him and wants him to suffer more. Naturally, when her stories got the Revenge Fic treatment themselves in At The Food Court, the author made no bones about just how much Ash was permanently damaged from their assault. The narrative itself says Team Rocket crossed the Moral Event Horizon by doing so.
- Severance: Butch and Cassidy have no issue with Giovanni telling them to kill his ten-year old son Ash.
- Pawprints:
- Yang hates Panthers and has no issue killing cubs.
- Weiss confides in Blake that she was forced to kill two baby Panthers on her first hunt. It was either Weiss got shot (and the babies still get shot) or Weiss shoot them herself.
- RWBY: Dark: Ruby Rose is a psychotic teenage Serial Killer who, when she goes on her rampages, leaves none alive. She breaks into homes and kills entire families. At one point, she murdered a baby, and another time slaughtered five small children and forced her slave Yang to kill a sixth.
- The Secret Return of Alex Mack: Most of Terawatt's foes qualify, but special mention must go to the black op that hunted down eight-year-old (and a half!) Charlie with grenade launchers and high-caliber rifles. Admittedly, she had just torched their entire operation and killed hundreds of people. On the other hand, she did that in order to escape from months of their drugs and illegal experimentation, after they murdered her father in front of her.
- Safe Anchorage discusses Jeyne Poole's canonical sexual abuse starting at eleven. Even an experienced midwife from the Iron Islands is horrified at her treatment. Jeyne later reveals that, in addition to his treatment of her, Ramsay threatened to feed any daughter they had to his dogs.
- Played horrifyingly straight with Tsali in Sonic X: Dark Chaos as a deliberate terror tactic. It's stated more than once that he slaughtered every single Seedrian he found down to the babies. In Episode 70, Trinity finds a recorded memory that Tsali saved for his own entertainment - which shows Tsali setting Seedrian children on fire and using their screaming husks as Human Shields. And Beelzebub ''really'' has a thing for kids...
- According to the background material, the Muslims also regularly rape and murder children for breaking Shariah law in their territories - including the developmentally and physically disabled.
- Little Hands, Big Attitude:
- Commander Walters orders his soldiers to shoot Sonic and Knuckles with tranquilizers to remove Obsidian - who is a toddler - from the arms of his parents by force.
- Agent Stone acknowledges that all the aliens that have appeared on Green Hills so far are teenagers, but in his mind that just makes it easier to manipulate them and exploit their weaknesses. At one point, he knocks out Rouge and seals her in a machine trap to let her freeze to death, and he tries to kill Sonic and Shadow.
- Reality Is Fluid: An Undine psi master shows Eleya images of Federation, Gorn, and Klingon warships, which Eleya knows to be Iconian fakes, bombarding Undine spawning pools and killing their hatchlings.
- A Rebel family: Owen Lars is more then willing to hurt a young Luke Skywalker for just about anything he feels like. Beru, while not physically abusive, is no better given she didn't even bother to help treat Luke's wounds.
- In The Question Volume 01 more than one of the villains are shown willing to hurt children. Victor's own parents abused him for years along with Stan Merkel who abuses his daughter and Boris Ebar who rapes a ten year old girl.
- In It's All in the Details, while Travis claims he wouldn’t do this to justify him not killing Jack Montgomery when he was an infant, Dean informs him that it’s just as sick that he’s willing to kill Jack’s unborn baby while it’s still in the womb, particularly since doing that would also kill its completely human mother.
Tabletop Games
- In Crimson Dawn, the Imperium of Man has no problem of hurting children or killing them.
- Enlightenments: The Queen of the Castle in the Mist and Wander, for different reasons. As depicted in ICO, the Queen uses the horned boys' souls and her daughters' bodies to power her immortality. Wander doesn't want to hurt children, but he's either forced to because of a Compelling Voice being used on him or else feels he's giving them a Mercy Kill. Wander also yells at some soldiers over this, saying that the horned boys are abused even before the Queen gets to them and blaming their communities for not doing anything to stop her.
- Once Upon a December Night: While April blocked most of her experiences out, it becomes clear that the Kraang were not gentle when they were experimenting on her at the age of six.
- Turtle Kittens: Not only is Shredder willing to beat up and threaten to kill the teenage Turtles in order to break Master Aspen/Tang Shen, but he drowned baby Miwa after killing Hamato Yoshi out of a sick attempt to force Tang Shen to love him.
- Riding a Sunset: Dr. Arkeville's Establishing Character Moment is when he drags the twelve-year-old Otis out of his lab and into the center of the Autobot base, fully expecting him to be arrested. His only reaction to being told he's wrong (Fowler and Burns tell him that Otis and Charlie are under both government and Autobot protection) is to simply scoff and refuse to apologize. The Autobots voice disgust over the guy (as they had all gone on the defensive the second they saw a child in danger).
- In The Great Red Panda Rescue, Mei is kidnapped and she is injured several times and almost killed by her kidnappers.
- Better Bones AU:
- Snowtuft ended up in the Dark Forest after he died for killing a whole family including the kits, except for one kit who he stole, during the crusades against the human town. He doesn't get punished for it since it's technically considered acceptable by the code to hurt outsiders, but his Clan isn't happy about it and never looks at him the same way again.
- Runningnose, with Brokenstar's permission, poisons Marigoldkit in order to frame Yellowfang. This allows them to exile her, getting the biggest opponent of their planned attack on WindClan out of the way.
- Spottedleaf's plot: Spottedleaf gets Mapleshade to work with her by threatening to kill her kits. Since they're all already dead, killing them again would invoke Cessation of Existence. When Mapleshade doesn't do as she wishes, Spottedleaf claws one of her sons to death anyway.
- Mother cats in Warriors Redux are instinctively wary of letting their kittens around unknown males or males they don't trust. This is because many toms will kill kittens that aren't theirs.
- Ma'at: When a young child of five or six is trying to defend his mother from captives, and gets rescued by divine intervention:"Leave her alone!" The young king charged the nearest man holding his mother.
A guard idly swatted the child away with the back of a hand, sending the crown skittering across the platform until if fell off the edge and clattered on the floor. As the youngster fell, Dani felt something swelling within her. Her vision faded for a moment, then snapped back with inhuman clarity as she heard her voice speak.
- Coil from Atonement would hurt anyone he needs to make his plans happen. A list of harmed minors:
- Dinah Alcott, the mayor's precognitive niece, who he addicted to drugs so she could answer questions for him.
- Amy Dallon, also known as Panacea, who he kidnapped with the intent of having her do what she could to fix Noelle (along with getting rid of the Empire 88 by blaming the kidnapping on Kaiser).
- Aster, Kayden's baby, kidnapped as leverage so Kayden wouldn't betray him.
- Trauma: Agatha Cackle not only tries to attack Mildred, but causes Mildred to suffer a miscarriage (Mildred had been raped and impregnated during the summer).
