No. The story will attract the eyes of those whom are interested in YA material or family-adventure type stories.

Great! My scripts tend to be character rather than plot driven and they frequently include families . . . even though many are reality based science fiction about nuclear fission survival in the event of a meltdown . . . or historical. Only my comedies do not include children.
