* In ''[[Leverage]]'' Parker's mentor Archie Leech can be argued as one. He took Parker in and made her steal for him as well as trained her as his 'legacy'-the best thief in the world. He also displays some of the [[Papa Wolf]] tendencies, calling Parker 'kiddo' and even referring to himself as Parker's father. However, the last one is deconstructed: he never took the young Parker home to his white picket fence family, fearing she won't fit in, making the older Parker a sort of [[Emotionless Girl]].
* One episode of ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' features Bertha, a seemingly kind and motherly woman who takes in homeless children - until it's revealed she is using them in her scheme to win money from rigged boxing matches. She also {{spoiler|sells the kids into slavery}} at the end of her tours.
* In ''[[Neverland]]'', [[Sy FySyfy]]'s miniseries reimagining / [[Origin Story]] for ''[[Peter Pan]]'', Hook started out as one of these in London's East End, with Peter and the future Lost Boys being the children in question.
