| - Immortal children are a terrible vampire tragedy plot device, which gives the Volturi a pretext on which to debate with "attack" the Cullens. They are unfortunate toddlers and/or small children who have been turned into sparklepires by particularly stupid and/or twisted vampires who think that child development is cute when it stops completely. In the real world such a complete lack of progress would call for emergency visits with the family doctor, and perhaps some occupational therapy, but in the vampire world they take the sensible path and just kill them off. It goes without saying that this concept is rather twisted, and unfortunately Stephenie Meyer has not been able to pull it off. (Chestburster Baby is a possible exception, but even she isn't done very well.) The only immortal child that is actually named is Vasilii. It should be noted that this concept can be very effectively creepy - see Claudia in Interview With the Vampire. However attempts to make the concept cute or straightforwardly threatening are generally less successful. This is double true when the author is a talentless hack with no common sense.
