* ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'': Kazuma was born into [[Witch Species|a prestigious family of fire users]] yet had no talent in the arts at all, not even the standard immunity to fire that even the weakest branch members had. Consequently, as a child, he was regularly beaten and tortured with fire by the other children, ranging from 5 year olds to teenagers. At least one time, they were ''seriously going to kill him''.

* Mad Pierrot from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has regressed to having a child's mind from sadistic experiments, and as Jet puts it, there's nothing as purely cruel as a child.

* Toyed with in ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]''; when [[The Rival|Ryoga Hibiki]] and [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Ranma Saotome]] were kids, they went to the same all-boys Junior High, which had a policy of simply flinging out the stuff from the lunch shop and letting the students fight over it. Ranma would consistently beat Ryoga when they went after the same piece of food, but otherwise got on with him okay enough that he would regularly [[No Sense of Direction|lead Ryoga to and from his home]], to the point Ranma still remembers where Ryoga lives better then Ryoga does. Eventually, Ryoga got sick of Ranma beating him in combat and challenged him to a duel; when he took four days to get there and found Ranma had left, he set off after him to try and get that match. Initially, however, he didn't seem to really be mad at Ranma, more wanting to settle the score. When he wandered into Jusenkyo, however, he fell into the Spring of Drowned Piglet in an incident involving a girl and a panda, and he promptly blamed Ranma for it, becoming much more furious and even declaring he wanted to kill Ranma. Things kind of peaked when he found out Ranma was actually at fault, but it quickly petered out; much as they squabble and bicker, the two watch each other's backs and save each other's lives on a regular basis.

* ''[[The Drifting Classroom]]'' is a prime example of this. When the school is transported into a [[Crapsack World]] and the kids get more and more desperate they start doing horrific stuff such as killing each other with spears and knives for food, burning a fellow student on a cross, and even ({{spoiler|EATING A DEAD STUDENT'S REMAINS.}})

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'': This is Rosa's justification for her treatment of Maria (or what she tells people anyway; in Maria's backstory we find out that {{spoiler|Rosa hates her a good deal for just existing}}). Her excuse is basically, "All the children make fun of her! Don't you see?! Beating her will obviously make her stop whining!"
