miscellaneous [Dark Trope] Implied child death

• 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

“Under the Skin” the baby on the beach scene. Shit made my blood run ice cold the first time I saw it.

His mother and father die being swept out to sea. The only other person there was a swimmer who, after making it back exhausted failing to save them, is hunted by an alien who was watching the whole thing unfold with cold indifference. She starts dragging away his body, completely ignoring the baby who will likely die of exposure
