* The darkest creature encountered in ''Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem'' is the Obscurus, a dark magical force which feeds off troubled wizards below the age of ten. Newt keeps one in his suitcase after failing to save a Somalian girl from it, in hopes that he can study it and learn how to save other children from it.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter''
** To show the escalation of the Wizarding War, the main characters of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' regularly read about horrible victims of the Dark Lord, most horrifically one boy who was attacked and killed by a werewolf known as Fenrir Greyback, who specializes in targeting children.
** The death of Dumbledore's fourteen year old sister is described at length in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', as it was a catalyst that kept Dumbledore from turning to evil and forced him to grow into the BigGood of the Wizarding World.
* ''Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild'' establishes just how evil the villain is after TheReveal by having them almost immediately kill the timid, fourteen year old Craig Bowker.
* "Epilogue" from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' sees Batman assigned to kill a superpowered girl called Ace who could potentially destroy reality with her PsychicPowers if her brain tumor progresses any further. He takes the gun to do the job... and throws it away as he goes to sit quietly with Ace to comfort her in her last moments.
