* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueTheFlashpointParadox'', the alternate-timeline WonderWoman has no qualms killing children, shown when she uses her lasso to trick [[CaptainMarvel Captain Thunder]] to say "Shazam", reversing his transformation. In this timeline, Captain Thunder's true identity is a team of kids.

** In Season 2, [[spoiler:[[EvilUncle Uncle Unalaq]] [[UpToEleven ups it to eleven]] and threatens [[DeaderThanDead to destroy Jinora's soul]] if Korra doesn't open the northern spirit portal for him. Despite Korra's compliance, he sends Jinora to the Avatar's version of Hell, making Unalaq one of the worst examples of this trope in a children's show.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Adult-on-child violence is rare ... except for instances where Homer chokes Bart (usually when Bart says something he shouldn't and it gets Homer in trouble).
** Then again, the villains aren't exactly above hurting children either. Sideshow Bob has repeatedly attempted to kill Bart. Fat Tony has on several occasions had his crooks threaten Bart with violence up to and including murder. Burns provides the page image when he threatens Bart with a gun prior to attempting to drown him, and that's apart from repeatedly letting [[AngryGuardDog The Hounds]] loose on him.

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': The {{flanderized}} Peter Griffin from the later seasons frequently attacks and occasionally murders people, and children are no exception. He punched out a child because he felt he had to hit someone, blew up a children's hospital (although that ''was'' an accident, but still), killed his own infant son Peter Jr. when he couldn't get him to stop crying, and threw his toddler son Stewie (who was in a coma with heavily infected wounds) under his wife's car so it would look like an accident.
** Another memorable segment saw Peter use Lucy Van Pelt (from the "{{Peanuts}}'' comic strips) as a punching bag after he grew tired of her picking on Charlie Brown.
* Soundwave and Blackarachnia in ''TransformersAnimated'' have threatened Sari. [[spoiler:The former even tried to make her own father murder her.]]

* Gargamel of ''TheSmurfs'' would even hurt Baby Smurf, which sets off Smurfette's MamaBear instinct when she was turned back into her Evil Self by the wizard who created her.

* Both villain groups in ''{{Monsuno}}'' are constantly stalking Chase Suno and his friends to the point of this.

In this timeline, Captain Thunder's true identity is a team of kids.

* ''Batman: The Animated Series'' episode ''[[http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/The_Underdwellers The Underdwellers]]''. The Sewer King is exploiting and abusing children. Batman finds out and is less than thrilled. For just a minute, the viewer wonders about that train...

* [[spoiler: Eddy's Brother]] from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy''. [[spoiler: He has no qualms over beating his little brother mercilessly to other people's disgust.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the Kankers, Sarah, and Kevin are disgusted by him...& for good reason too.]]

* Averted in an episode of DuckDodgers. Martian Commander X-2 would threaten grievous harm to a baby, but the instant said baby begins crying, he reassures the child that it is merely an empty threat and that he would never carry it out.

* Don Karnage in the pilot of {{Talespin}}. The worst part; Kit's reaction when Karnage [[spoiler: crumbles his board before having his pirates throw the kid off the plane]] indicates he thought that even Karnage wouldn't go that far...and it happening anyway terrifies him.
* The FairlyOddParents: Denzel Crocker in particular. There are several examples, but the best one is at the climax of Abra Castastrophe when he was going to destroy Timmy Turner (Waste in Timmy's words) after the boy surrendered to him.

** [[ThirdPersonPerson The]] [[LargeHam Boulder]] once felt conflicted about attacking a young, blind girl. The Boulder soon overcame his conflicted feelings and tried to bury her in a Rockalanche! The Boulder [[CurbStompBattle got completely trashed in the ensuing fight]].
*** Then again, this section is a parody of the WWF and The Boulder seems to know Toph well enough later in the show, it's quite possible all of this was just a play for the audience.

* The FairlyOddParents: Denzel Crocker in particular.

** That's not all, the bastard actually got a job at an amusement park ''just so he could torment kids some more''...or atleast its assumed that he did.

* The Earl of Lemongrab from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' goes COMPLETELY BATSHIT CRAZY in the episode "You Made Me!", and ends up electrocuting three young children and a 14-year-old boy, and ''assaulting a baby''. His more malicious side was hinted at in an unused storyboard for "Too Young," in which he screams at a candy child and sends him to the dungeon for no reason, making the kid cry. This aspect of his character was not confirmed until "You Made Me!".

** Count Vertigo was willing to let his own niece, Queen Perdita, who was needing a heart transplant, ''die on the operating table'' because it would make him the King of Vlatava. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, Kid Flash reveals the young queen with a recording of the Count's EngineeredPublicConfession, as he thought he succeeded. It's enough to strip him of his "diplomatic immunity" for treason, and Kid Flash tells the security guards, "Take him to Belle Reve." There the Count is laughed at by the inmates for his failing.]]

* [[spoiler: Eddy's Brother]] from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy''. [[spoiler: He has no qualms over beating his little brother mercilessly to other people's disgust.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the Kankers, Sarah, and Kevin are disgusted by him.]]

* Roger of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' would ''kill'' a child (an ''infant'', actually). [[DisproportionateRetribution For accidentally breaking a leg off of one of his collection of crystal spiders]].

** "The Death Camp of Tolerance: has the Tolerance Camp Warden, one of the most cruel and sadistic characters Trey and Matt have ever come up with (besides Cartman), routinely threatens to kill the kids if they don't meet up to his expectations, especially poor Kyle (because the episode in question is based off of ''Film/SchindlersList'' and Kyle is '''Jewish'''.)

* SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' purposely singles out Robin in battle, which makes sense considering his [[{{Batman}} archenemy]].
