* ''Literature/TheBerenstainBearsBigChapterBooks'': Pointed out by Bertha Broom in ''The Berenstain Bears Accept No Substitutes'', as she reminds Too-Tall that Ms. Barr may be a black belt in karate, but she's also a ''grownup'', and as such she wouldn't use her skills to hurt a cub, even a jerk like Too-Tall, no matter ''what'' he did to her.

* Trashy, schlocky 80s B-movie ''Film/RageToKill'' uses this trope in an... ''interesting'' way. The movie opens with TheGeneralissimo BigBad, General Turner (played by Creator/OliverReed) leading a massacre on a political rival's party, gunning down plenty of guards, servants, and even unarmed party guests. Turner eventually executes his political rival and said politician's wife, only for the politician's daughter to run out... and was promptly shot by one of Turner's mooks. At which point Turner suddenly went from gloating to upset, outright telling his soldiers they're here to eliminate the opposition, but ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards killing children is too far]]''. Before sentencing the mook to a HelicopterBlender fate as punishment for killing a child.

* The action film ''Film/InvisibleTarget'' have a really intense scene, where the Ronin Gang captures a bus full of schoolchildren and rigs it with a TimeBomb, forcing the heroes, Officer Chan, Officer Wai, and Inspector Carson to stay behind in order to stop the bomb from detonating. They failed, but it turns out the bomb was a dud; the Ronin Gang is only using the bomb as a distraction to keep the police off their tails, and while they're perfectly content with killing policemen and security guards, they draw a line when children are involved.
