Parents in Distress	comment	Kids have this tendency to get themselves in trouble, often requiring their parental figures to bail them out. Sometimes this goes to the point of violence or physical feats, where Mama Bear and Papa Wolf step up to the plate. On the other hand, sometimes it's the parents that get themselves in a sticky situation. Then the children will go to any lengths necessary to save their parents (or teacher, older sibling, etc.) from danger. If the characters are just normally protective of their parents, it's Extremely Protective Child. Any series with a Kid Hero who isn't Conveniently an Orphan is bound to try this. Compare Adults Are Useless and contrast Mama Bear and Papa Wolf. This trope is often a non-Ho Yay version of The Not-Love Interest.

Late in the game, the Warden and friends will return to the alienage where the Warden grew up, and rescue his/her father and other elves from slavers. Both played straight and subverted in the Human Noble origin, as the future Warden has to protect their mother Eleanor from the invasion of the family castle. They do a bang-up job, but when they find papa Bryce bleeding to death, Eleanor opts for a Heroic Sacrifice to buy their child time to escape. In Dragon Age II, this happens twice to Leandra Hawke. The first time, she's fine. The second... not so much...

Parents in Distress / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, one of Prince Leif's goals is rescuing his Parental Substitute Lady Evayle, who has been Taken for Granite by the Loptr Church. Not succeeding will cause her to be Brainwashed and Crazy into becoming one of the Dead Lords. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Eliwood's main motivation is to find his father Elbert, who disappeared under strange circumstances. He finds him... in the lair of the Black Fang, gravely injured and weakened. And then he dies in his arms. And before that, Lyn's adventures involved her racing against the clock to both to claim her inheritance as the Princess of Caelin and save her ill grandfather Hausen. And she has to do the second part again one year later, when the Black Fang attacks their realm. One of the missions in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones involves protecting Pontifex Mansel, L'Arachel's Parental Substitute and the leader of the Rausten Theocracy. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, the kids from the future decide to time travel to avert the deaths of their parents, which triggered the Bad Future from whence they came. In Fire Emblem Fates, the Heirs of Fates DLC offers a rather cruel twist... since not only it starts with the parents already dead, but finishes with the fathers (or mother, in the case of a Male Kana) forcibly revived by the Big Bad and being Brainwashed and Crazy. The children characters realize that the only way to return them to normal is to kill them. (Though after that's all said and done, the kids are sent back to their now healed worlds, where the parents are back to normal and alive).

Parents in Distress / int_28508de	comment	Winx Club: This trope is recurrent across the series. Predictably for the main character, Bloom's parents are often on the receiving end of this trope. The first season's main villains, the Trix sisters, endanger Bloom's adoptive parents, Mike and Vanessa, to lure her into a trap since the effort to rescue them would leave her exhausted and in a bad position to defend herself. For context, they throw Mike and Vanessa into a Pocket Dimension-like abyss, so she has to catch them in time and then fly them back to safe terrain. Bloom's biological parents, Oritel and Marion, are trapped as a statue and inside a sword, respectively, courtesy of the villains who caused their home planet's fall. The plot from late-stage season three to the first movie revolves around finding and rescuing them. Bloom saves her biological parents again in season five. During a royal ceremony to thank the Winx and Sky for restoring Domino, the Trix wait until the Winx are off on a mission to attack. Marion and Oritel are able to fend the Trix off until they are tricked into surrendering; then they are turned into ice statues. After the Winx defeat the Trix, Bloom de-freezes her parents. There are quite the examples in the third season: After the Big Bad breaks free from the Omega Dimension, he defeats the mermaids from Andros' underwater kingdom and turns them into his minions. Except for some fortunate souls who are imprisoned — among them, the queen. Princess Tressa evades capture and alerts the Winx to go and help free her mother, Queen Ligea. Tressa is initially fearful and not the one doing the heavy work but, after some words of encouragement, she frees her mother while the Winx distract the Kraken guarding the prison. Stella earns her Enchantix by pulling one of these. At the very beginning of the season, Stella's father, the king of Solaria, gets Brain Washed And Crazy by Wicked Stepmother, social-climber Countess Cassandra (helped by Valtor). Some episodes later, in a royal event, she does an Heroic Sacrifice to save her father from being burned by a dragon. Then, the transformation song starts. Bonus points because King Radius seems to recognize his daughter for a brief while. Later, Stella devices a ploy to sneak into and interrupt her still brain-washed father and Cassandra's wedding. This is when she is finally able to lift the curse on him thanks to one of the Enchantix's powers. At mid-season, the Portal to the Omega Dimension is about to implode because the Big Bad broke it. As a result, Andros, the planet hosting the portal, will be destroyed, starting with earthquakes and floods that worsen as the portal becomes more unstable. Aisha's parents, the queen and king, fight valiantly against the monsters coming from the portal but get ultimately trapped in the flooding Royal Palace. Aisha saves them before they drown. As Bloom and Roxy are mirror characters, Roxy has had to save her distressed parents too: Similar to Bloom's storyline, the plot of the fourth season involves rescuing trapped fairies from fallen realms. In this case, it's the Earth fairies — relentlessly hunted by the Wizards of the Black Circle and sealed away to be forgotten by humanity. Roxy, the Queen's daughter is not captured due to being too young to manifest magic. When she learns the truth, she gets determined to the Earth fairies. With the help of the Winx, Roxy goes to Tir Nan Og and opens its gates. It's kind of a subverted example because Roxy only learns that Queen Morgana is her mother later in the season. Earlier in the season, Roxy has to rescue her father Klaus because the Wizards of the Black Circle captured and impersonated him to lure her into a trap. She is kidnapped but after her Animal Companion and the magical pets locate her and fool the Wizards, she is able to free herself and her father. They are halted when the Wizards realize their mistake and overpower Roxy even after she triggers her fairy transformation. Fortunately, all of these developments provide enough time for the Winx to go to her aid.

Late in the game, the Warden and friends will return to the alienage where the Warden grew up, and rescue his/her father and other elves from slavers. Both played straight and subverted in the Human Noble origin, as the future Warden has to protect their mother Eleanor from the invasion of the family castle. They do a bang-up job, but when they find papa Bryce bleeding to death, Eleanor opts for a Heroic Sacrifice to buy their child time to escape.

The children characters realize that the only way to return them to normal is to kill them. (Though after that's all said and done, the kids are sent back to their now healed worlds, where the parents are back to normal and alive).

The Batfamily including (and especially) Bruce will do the same if anything happens to Alfred. When Tim Drake's parents were kidnapped he obediently stayed home in Gotham and let Batman rescue them. Unfortunately, Batman was unable to prevent the murder of his mother and the crippling of his father. Later Jack Drake was kidnapped again, and again Tim allowed Bruce to be in charge of his father's rescue. When Jack was cornered in his own home during Identity Crisis (2004) Tim raced there as fast as he could along with his mentor but was unable to arrive there in time to prevent his murder.

In book #45, he also has to protect his father, whose scientific discovery threatens the Yeerks' plans. He saves his mom in the same book. One book has Jake having to protect his father from his Controller brother, whose Yeerk is determined to kill him. Book #48 is a Wham Episode where the Animorphs realize that the Yeerks have begun to discover their identities, and have to finally reveal the truth to their parents and evacuate them to the Hork-Bajir colony for their own safety. Jake's parents, however, are infested before they can save them. Meanwhile, Tobias has finally found his Missing Mom and has to struggle with how to save her too.

She's been blackmailed by her boss, Damon Gant, for the past few years, which resulted in her taking on a cold, distant and standoffish demeanor in an attempt to cope.

Jotaro in Stone Ocean is left comatose when the Big Bad Enrico Pucci uses his Stand to steal his memories and power. His daughter Jolyne's drive to save her father forms the backbone of the plot. Jojolion develops into this later on. When Josuke discovers he is actually a fusion of two individuals, Yoshikage Kira and Josefumi Kujo, he sets out to find a way to cure Kira's mother, Holly Joestar-Kiranote Yes, she is this universe's counterpart to Holly Kujo; the poor woman can't avoid this trope in any reality, (who by proxy is his own mother now and Josuke definitely sees it this way) by chasing a fruit which can grant miracles through equivalent exchange.

He's only able to defeat and subdue her because she had no room to maneuver. Later in the film she does it again to protect her actual father, Logan, and this time subjects him to a positively brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. X-24 only manages to shake her off when he manages to land a lucky blow (she is only eleven years old). She ultimately delivers the fatal blow via an adamantium bullet to his noggin when he tries to finish off the mortally wounded Logan.

When Future Trunks stood up, he was immediately knocked out by 18 who did Grievous Harm With Vegeta's Body.
