When a town or city faces disaster, there will be a small child, usually but not always under 10 years of age, that for whatever reason will have become separated from their parents. Luckily, someone steps in the way and saves the child before they get hit/shot/whatever. Not to be confused with the Littlest Cancer Patient, who is often the focus for (often) an entire episode. A Kid Amid the Chaos is only on screen for a few seconds. Although they both try to make the audience go "Aww, that's sad". See also: Empathy Doll Shot, Abandoned War Child, Bystander Action-Horror Dissonance. |

Sort of spoofed in the reality show Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, where one of the very first challenges of the first season is race where the true goal is to help the lost crying child. Those who raced past the little kid to the finish line lost. | |

In Goldfinger, the book, not the movie, the plot is to poison the water supply (rather than spray gas from the air, as in the movie), Bond reaches the city Fort Knox and hears total silence except for babies crying, because they were given milk, not water, to drink. | |

Titanic (1997): Subverted. Jack and Rose are trying to find a way out and find a small child screaming in the hallway. Another man (presumably the kid's father) finds them, shouts at them in a language they can't understand, and likewise he doesn't understand their warnings not to go that way because the hall behind that door is flooded... Played straight, kind of, with Cal. After his attempt to buy a seat on a lifeboat fails, he finds a crying, abandoned child and gets past the "women and children first" officer by saying "I'm all she has in the world." Done for selfish reasons, of course. |

Spider-Man Trilogy: The first Spider-Man film: at the parade, a gigantic balloon is about to fall on a child. Spider-Man whisks him out of the way just in time. Although said child isn't so much "crying" as he is "standing in place like an idiot." Even Spidey gets a little exasperated at the kid's inability to simply run in any given direction. The second film also does this with Spider-Man rescuing a pair of kids about to be hit by a bus. |

This happens in the first season finale of Attack on Titan when Eren, in his Rogue Titan form, does battle with Annie's Female Titan in the Stohess District, during which several innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire and crushed. During the battle, we see a small child, crying and bloodied, staggering through the war-torn streets all alone as the Titans continue to fight around her. | |

Happens during the battle on Jedha in Rogue One - Jyn spots a very young girl caught in the crossfire between Stormtroopers and rebels, and dashes in to get the child out of harm's way. The city is detsroyed by a test of the Death Star shortly afterwards meaning the girl was almost certainly killed anyway. | |

The Daffy Duck short "Ain't That Ducky?" has a child duck throughout the cartoon looking into a satchel and crying his eyes out. Daffy and the hunter chasing him (a caricature of actor Victor Moore) get hold of it at the conclusion and look inside at what the issue is — a slip of paper that says "The End". | |

In one of the movie adaptations of The Odyssey, during the fighting in Troy scene, Odysseus spots a little boy crying (or just standing there looking petrified) with blood on his face. Odysseus makes his way to the boy, picks him up and either carries him out of the battle or puts him in the arms of another adult. | |

Kamen Rider: In episode 2 of Kamen Rider Den-O, Ryotaro is forced to eject from the cockpit of Den Liner to pull a little girl out of the way before she gets hit by it. Then in episode 4, a contract holder doesn't make it to a music audition because he sees a little girl crying on the floor having lost her parent(s) and has to take her to the police station. Later when they go back in time, Ryotaro makes Hana take the girl to the police so that the contract holder can get to his audition on time. Then in the third movie a girl ends up kneeling on the ground crying during the fight between the Taros Imagin and Shiro's cronies and is nearly hit by a cart until Ryuutaros yanks her out of the way. In episode one of Kamen Rider Decade, Natsumi nearly does this to a boy (and his mother) running away from a fireball... until Wataru stops time. In Kamen Rider OOO, Eiji's backstory is almost always represented by a flashback to a little girl in the middle of a war zone. He had failed to save her, and this along with other consequences of the war have deeply traumatized him as a result. |

A major plot point of the second half of the John Woo movie Hard Boiled involves evacuating the babies of a hospital's maternity ward and getting them to safety once the patients that didn't get killed by the bad guys are evacuated. Tequila's love interest, Teresa Chang, who played a major role in the evacuation of the patients, is placed in charge of getting the kids out of there with the help of the SWAT team, with the bad guys trying to stop them every step of the way. Eventually, every one of the babies are evacuated, but there's just one more baby that she missed, which she charges Tequila himself with the task of saving. And man, does he ever. | |

Strangely enough, this is one of the few versions where the toddler was not carried to safety - both Willow and daughter ran. This, because they're both midgets little people, and it wasn't possible for him to lift her and run to safety at higher speed than they would both run together. | |

X-Men: The Animated Series has an entirely straight example with a girl needing to be saved from a falling building but follows it up with Wolverine exasperatedly saying "this kid's crying... do something" before handing her to Jubilee. | |

In the film Agora, there is a Tear Jerker scene that is also the Moral Event Horizon for the Christians of the story where the Jews of Alexandria are being attacked, and inserted in among scenes of death, destruction, mass murder and rape is a shot mere seconds long of a girl sobbing. | |

Doctor Who: In "Dragonfire", as the villain's forces overrun the planet, there's a shot of a little girl who has lost her mum. The most obvious example is probably the screaming girl in "The Runaway Bride". Stands in front of an incredibly slow-moving electricity weapon and is pushed out of the way just in the nick of time. Subverted in "The Fires of Pompeii", when Donna is trying to warn the Citizens of Pompeii not to go to the beach because they'll die. She grabs a little kid who has been separated from his parents; she tries to tell him how to survive, only for his mother to show up and grab him off Donna before she can impart her life-saving knowledge. Also, providing the page quote, in "The Beast Below", the Doctor only starts investigating because he notices a crying girl. Not shown on screen, but forms the backstory of Lorna in "A Good Man Goes to War". There was a disaster in her home of the Gamma Forest when she was a little girl, and the Doctor found her and helped her escape. Years later she repays the favor, dying to protect his friends from the Headless Monks. The Doctor comforts her as she passes by reminiscing about their first meeting, but it's clear he either doesn't remember her or it hasn't happened for him yet. |

Fatal Frame has a tragic example in the backstory to the second game; Chitose Tachibana was nearly blind and when all hell broke loose in her village, she hid in a cupboard, crying and hoping to be rescued. She wasn't rescued and in the present she's one of the most pitiable (if annoying) bosses you fight in the game. | |

One-Punch Man: Saitama saves one in the opening pages, grabbing her just as the bad guys are about to squish her. He does so again in Episode 5, saving a crying boy from a car sent flying by Sonic's rampage. Genos does it in the season finale as a Bookend, saving a kid in the midst of some ruins from the rampage of Pluton while Saitama takes care of the monster. |

In episode 2 of Kamen Rider Den-O, Ryotaro is forced to eject from the cockpit of Den Liner to pull a little girl out of the way before she gets hit by it. Then in episode 4, a contract holder doesn't make it to a music audition because he sees a little girl crying on the floor having lost her parent(s) and has to take her to the police station. Later when they go back in time, Ryotaro makes Hana take the girl to the police so that the contract holder can get to his audition on time. Then in the third movie a girl ends up kneeling on the ground crying during the fight between the Taros Imagin and Shiro's cronies and is nearly hit by a cart until Ryuutaros yanks her out of the way. | |

This occurs in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds during Yusei's battle with Aporia - the Duel Lane had been destroyed and their duel had moved onto the city streets. When Aporia launched a direct attack, Yusei noticed a child in the road ahead of them. Fortunately he was able to stop his D-Wheel in time and block the attack, giving them a chance to escape. | |

Star Wars Legends: It happens in the backstory, but Iron Fist mentions a riot which was "controlled" by means of stormtroopers arriving and opening fire on the crowd. Castin Donn saw a young mother get shot right in front of him and saved her baby before he could get shot or trampled. During Galaxy of Fear Tash and Zak give up their seats on an Escape Pod to reunite a mother separated from her two-year-old by a panicking mob. In a later book, Tash manages to use the Force to keep a falling rock from hitting another little girl. |

Dawn of War: In Chris Roberson's Dawn of War II, one squad happens on two boys searching for their mother. They bring them back all the way. Part way through, one Marine pragmatically suggests leaving them, to have Thaddeus declare that any Marine who says that will be left himself; Thaddeus looks at the boys who are not crying, though they have tear tracks. They realize their mother is almost certainly dead, and want Revenge; when Thaddeus suggests they could be Blood Ravens, they are eager for it. | |
