Basic Trope: Children are innocents in need of adult protection and are never evil. * Played Straight: Nine-year-old Cindy is very naïve and would never think to deliberately harm someone. * Exaggerated: Cindy still wears a diaper and speaks in Baby Talk. See Kiddie Kid. * Downplayed: Cindy would hurt someone, but not severely and only for childish reasons. * Justified: Children's minds are still developing, as is their understanding of the world. * Inverted: Adults Are Useless. * Subverted: Cindy is an Enfant Terrible who plays the part of a Deliberately Cute Child. * Double Subverted: This was caused by Demonic Possession and the real Cindy is innocent. * Deconstructed: Bob knows that Cindy is evil and a threat to society, but no one takes him seriously sinc
