Disgusting Video Game Moments of All Time

Modern Warfare 3- Child getting killed

When Modern Warfare 2 introduced us  to the whole killing innocents at the airport to advance the plot, it was senseless violence no doubt, but I understood why they took that route . But I was dumbfounded or rather angry, when they decided to include a child getting caught in the explosion in Modern Warfare 3. Were the developers trying to instill a sense of grief in us? Or motivate us to fight for the child? Regardless of what their intentions were, they really had no reason to include a child dying.
