Paranormal Children?
First I think we need a definition of the word child. Dictionary.com has child defined as One who is between birth and puberty or one who is childish or immature. Ok now we can go into different types of paranormals.
Ghosts - By nature ghosts can not reproduce. They are usually a left over from someone/something that has lived before. Some think they have memory of what they once were and can make decisions based on that. Others think they are a imprint or energy left over. However children can become ghosts. In fact some of the creepiest ghosts are kids. Also poltergists are part of the ghost category and they can sometimes be thought of as immature. So there you have it Ghost children.
Now you know kids have no patience. They don't know how to wait their turn and they want attention. Now Now Now Me Me Me. For the few types of ghosts that can move things impatience would really make things interesting. Flying TV's cause you wouldn't change the channel. You're newspaper being shredded cause you tried to read it in the morning. I'd have to get someone in to get rid of it quick. After all you can't stop it cause you can't touch them.
Vampires - Most types of vampires can not reproduce by normal means. They can however make other vampires (usually by draining humans of blood and feeding them theirs). So since these new vampires can be seen as immature because of their lack of experience. Also, while it is generally considered bad, Sometimes kids (of the human variety) have been transformed into vampires. They will now never reach puberty. However they may become mature and leave their childish natures behind. Does that mean they are no longer children? I don't know.
What would it be like to be a child vampire? Think about a child who has super strength. They need blood and yet they can't usually consume enough to take down a full size human. They can however kill a full size human. And boy can kids be cruel. Kids burn ants and make other kids cry just for fun. Talk about torture. On top of it all kids are something that most adults want to protect. They look cute and fragile. Suddenly they are on you and they want your blood. Ouch.
Werewolves - Well there are three basic werewolf myths. Born that way, Bitten, and cursed. Well if you are born that way you have at some point been a child. Being between birth and puberty. If you are bitten or cursed it would probably follow much the same way as vampires. They might be considered to be immature because of their lack of experience.
Most authors shy away from kids with full were abilities. Usually they get them with puberty making the actually were kid rare. It would be kind of crazy. I'm seeing a small size full fuzzy creature. On top of that being stronger and faster then you. They don't really think much about things other then themselves. So what if you aren't happy. They need to be happy.
Witches - Well generally you have two different witch myths. Born into it and learned it. While if you are learning it you might not be doing so as a child you could. If you are born into it well then you are definitely a child at some point.
Oh wow this could be a fun one. What would you do with magical powers when you were young? I would love to say that I'd use them responsibly and keep things nice and clean. I can't actually say that. I know that I would have used them to reap the happiness of vengeance. I would have made the kids who picked on me turn odd colors and have their homework disappear. I might have felt bad later but they'd deserve it. Fortunately there are usually adults around to keep them in line and shut them down.
So Yes I'd have to say there are Paranormal Children. However I'm also sure that I wouldn't want to meet any of them in a dark alley.
