In the SoulEater anime at least, the girl is playing on her own and when her parents come back, she\'s gone. From their POV, that\'s just a straight up child abduction, supernatural elements be damned. Yes, she\'s taken by a body-snatching snake women but as far as they\'re concerned, she\'s just there one minute and gone the next. Even though the series is heavily supernatural, to the parents (the ones feeling the AdultFear) it really isn\'t.

I suppose the question Xfllo raises is this: Is the trope aimed at the viewer\\\'s POV or the characters? Because yes, to the viewer it\\\'s not an adult fear. But to the in-universe characters, it would be.
