* Double Subverted: This was caused by Demonic Possession and the real Cindy is innocent.
* Deconstructed: Bob knows that Cindy is evil and a threat to society, but no one takes him seriously since it looks like he's just picking on an innocent child.
* Reconstructed: Cindy is found to be disturbingly capable of great crimes. She's not considered truly responsible because she's a child and she's successfully rehabilitated through therapy.
* Parodied: Everyone is as innocent as a three-year-old until the second they turn eighteen.
* Lampshaded: "How could you hurt Cindy, Bob?! She's only nine!"
* Zig Zagged: At times, Cindy seems surprisingly worldly, but there are also those moments which remind you she's still a kid.
* Averted: Cindy is no more innocent than the adult characters.
* Enforced: "The Moral Guardians will hurt us if we don't make Cindy happy and innocent."
* Invoked: Alice ensures that Cindy stays innocent by only letting her watch G-rated movies and so forth.
* Defied: Alice trains Cindy to be a Little Miss Badass so that she'll be able to fend for herself in a harsh world.
* Discussed: "We can't let Cindy be exposed to this because it'll ruin her development."
* Conversed: "Why is Cindy just sitting there when they need as many people as possible to pull on the rope? She should be able to handle that even if she's just a kid."
* Played For Laughs: Cindy says the darndest things.
* Played For Drama: Cindy must be protected from a villain who Would Hurt a Child. Back to Children Are Innocent.
