• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

Frank Colletti's family in Mafia: Definitive Edition

Don Salieri originally wants Tommy to kill Frank as punishment for him snitching to a rival Mafia boss. Tommy spares him at the airport after seeing his wife and daughter, and the family flees to Europe.

Later, during the final confrontation of the game, Sam reveals that Salieri sent a hitman to Europe to kill Frank after discovering Tommy spared him. When Tommy asks about what happened to Frank's wife and daughter, Sam just shrugs.

But good pull

Mafia 1 writers stated that Tommy (seated on the right) is supposed to be four years old in this photo, so I'm willing to believe that Frank's daughter may be a child accidentally depicted as an adult.
