* In ''DaisyOwl'', Steve accidentally presses a self-destruction button in the orphanage. 
* From ''{{Cracked}}'': 
--> If they ever make a sequel [of ''{{Volcano}}''], they should save a city from a glacier by burning down an orphanage. 
* ''AnsemRetort'' does this ''in the first strip''. 
* In LookingForGroup, [[http://lfgcomic.com/page/4 Richard says]] "that orphanage [[LameExcuse attacked me]]." Later made into a [[TheMerch t-shirt]] with flames in the background. 
* Not [[HanlonsRazor as much evil, as dangerously incompetent]], but the management of the Shalebridge Cradle orphanage in ''{{Thief}}: Deadly Shadows'' allowed a fire to spread through it, forcing them to relocate the surviving children. Of course, they were the same people who [[OrphanageOfFear semi-converted it into an asylum]]... 
* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': In "Space Savers", King Radical claims that he's stealing a warhead so he can fire it at an orphanage. However, given that we later learn that this is something of a non-standard warhead, it's possible that Radical's plan was [[VillainWithGoodPublicity ultimately benign]].
** Yeah, [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/20p75 it was]]. But since he left the warhead with McNinja, he had to demolish it a mundane, non-radical way off-screen.
* Lynx, evil panther-man villain of ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', burned down an orphanage (in flashback), in case you didn't already hate him enough. 
* Lothar Hex in ''ExterminatusNow'' tells a story about him hiding in an orphanage once. He blinded all the children so they couldn't recognize him and killed the youngest one to scare the others into silence. 
* This ''MegaTokyo'' strip during the Playstation 2 shortage in its early days. 
* In a flashback in ''{{Hellbound}}'', TheDitz struggles in her bonds as she's being [[BurnTheWitch burned at the stake]] and accidentally throws firebrands into an orphanage or children hospital. 
* If it counts, the eponymous pirates of the AbneyPark song "Airship Pirates" shoot down a ship with "a crew of nuns and orphans".

* Terumi burned down the orphanage that housed Ragna, Jin, and Saya in ''{{BlazBlue}}'s'' backstory. 
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'': On the "Lungfishopolis" level, you rampage across a tiny town in a parody of AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever movies as terrified citizens scream around. Several of their lines refer to the orphanage, which you apparently keep just missing while destroying the generic-looking buildings.
** A slightly later line reveals that the building you destroyed ''really was'' the orphanage. The ''[[KickTheDog puppy]]'' orphanage. How could you?
* Black Mage discussed burning down an orphanage early in ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'', after White Mage was horrified that he burned down the retirement home. 
** When he tries to prove that Black Magic isn't inherently evil, she gives him the scenario of an orphange being on fire. Before she can even finish asking what he'd do, he gleefully starts describing the spells he'd use to pick off the survivors.
* More of a burn the temple, but this is what happened to [[spoiler:Anji]] from ''RurouniKenshin'' [[BreakTheCutie that made him into a]] WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds; the temple where he has looking after orphans was burned down, and all the orphans killed. 
* In ''MSSaga'' the orphanage in which our main hero Tristan grew up in was burned down, pushing him onwards to seek justice. 
* In ''JadeEmpire'', you can find an orphanage that, rather than being burned, was FLOODED... with all the children still locked inside... clawing at the door to get out while the waters inexorably rose... all while the manager was off somewhere drinking. Several of the children have lingered as ghosts - one desiring revenge over the manager, the other merely wanting to find peace and move on. You can track down the manager for them, and find that he's been [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone reduced to a human wreck by guilt]]. He's terrified of returning to the orphanage, but you can drag him back there anyway, and once faced with the anger and pain of the children's spirits, he'll accept his fate... whatever that may be.
