** A more significant example comes when Brock Cantillo is poisoned by Walter, in an attempt to make it look like Gus had poisoned him so that Jesse would turn on Gus. It's a clear KickTheDog moment as well as something of a MoralEventHorizon for Walter.
** And later, in Season 5's "[[Recap/BreakingBadS5E5DeadFreight Dead Freight]]", Todd Alquist shoots 14-year-old Drew Sharp for accidentally stumbling across their heist. The wildly diverging reactions to the killing between Jesse and Walt emphasize how far the latter has fallen: Jesse is completely traumatized while Walt puts a shallow mask of guilt over an obvious reality of indifference.
** Todd's uncle Jack Welker and his gang of Aryans get [[spoiler: Skyler's and Jesse's]] cooperation by threatening to kill, respectively, Holly and Brock. Considering all the other horrible things they had done (as these are the same guys who organized the shankings of 10 inmates in 2 minutes, who massacred Declan and his crew, who killed Hank and Gomez, and who kill Andrea when Jesse makes an attempt to escape their compound; not even counting the aforementioned child murder that Todd committed), it's almost certain they would go through with their threats.

* Present to a ''horrifying'' level in Season 1 of ''Series/TrueDetective''. The season is based on a Louisiana criminal cult, like the real-world Santa Muerte and similar cults, which came about from the state's 19th-century criminal gangs and pirate raiders, that accumulated great power to the present day. The series is filled with Lovecraftian elements, [[CosmicHorror cosmic horror]] and dark references to some of the writers who ''inspired'' Lovecraft himself (especially Robert Chambers), above all due to the series' concept of the "sprawl", through which the cult is able to "replicate" itself through generations of traumatized children and child sacrifice.
** The details of how the cult does this, mainly revealed in Rust's [[spoiler:storage trailer]], from years of obsessive research [[spoiler:after he'd officially left the police force]], are pure [[NightmareFuel nightmare fuel]]. Young kids from the bayou country and across the state are brought into the cult's churches and other institutions, where many of the boys are subjected to terrible physical abuse and even torture which many don't survive--those that do (including [[spoiler:the [[BigBad Big Bad]]]], who turns out to be one of its [[spoiler:high priests and hates his own father who abused him]]), become abusers, murderers and criminals themselves, serving the state power elite who are [[GreaterScopeVillain the cult's true leaders]]. Women and little girls--above all pre-teen girls, to further magnify the horror--are molested and ritually sacrificed, and by the time Rust and Marty discover the culprits, the cult has had hundreds of child victims in the past couple decades alone.
