The Children Are Innocent trope captures the idea that children are never naturally evil. A consequence is that harming one is the ultimate evil act, no matter how provoked — unless that is forcing others to harm them. This is an extremely pervasive trope that is at the heart of many other tropes, such as Friend to All Children and Harmful to Minors as well as frequently the root of both Papa Wolf and Mama Bear. When the Big Bad kills nameless hundreds, the heroes will say the villain killed women and children.
