Child Savers

The heroic foil to a Child Murderer, a Child Saver is a hero or heroine who saves, or has saved, the life of an individual between the ages of 0-12. In other words, Child Savers not also rescue children, but also eggs, embryos and babies.

No matter the genre, Child Savers are one of the most lovable of heroes because just as murdering a child is an allegory for killing humanity, so is rescuing a child to saving humanity. While most Child Savers are Pure Good, anti-heroes with redeeming qualities also fit this category.

Parents, teachers, pets, police officers, firefighters, nurturers, superheroes, gentle giants, and the like often fit this category. In the case of parents, these heroes/heroines will fight tooth and nail to protect their offspring.

Many Child Savers can also be heroes with a strong love for children, as some can form a strong bond with the child after rescuing them.

Why They're Important
Just as killing a child is considered an atrocious crime, rescuing one is considered an act of humanity. Children are often naive, innocent and helpless. Babies are defenseless, and children are unable to defend themselves against adults. When someone saves a child's life, that can result in the his/her survival, allowing the child to live to grow into adulthood.
