a Destroyer of Innocence should always be a borderline "Complete Monster" since they strip a victim of innocence and are at the very least almost always Knights of Cerberus as a result..

for example, to destroy a child's innocence you'd have to do stuff like:

1) rape or torture them

2) brainwash them into becoming psychopaths / terrorists

3) deliberately deny them the love and affection required to become functional humans (linked to 2)

simply bullying a child won't do those three things, it will just earn you a reputation as a douchebag and probably get you a "kick the dog" moment as a villain.. a true Destroyer of Innocence earns a reputation as a disgustly cruel villain and can, I suppose, be a way to show "even evil has standards" since other villains will look on a Destroyer of Innocence the same way real life criminals look upon violent sex offenders and child-murderers/rapists.
