Yeah but it really depends on what it's used for. In AoP13 it was used to create the story, to give the father a need for revenge so the gang could be incited to hunt him down. If it's a simple slasher flick and they show a kid get killed in a more dramatic way (the big eyes, the sappy music) than an adult then yeah, it's just the lack of good ideas. I think the problem with killing children (in movies) is that they treat it differently than the adults. If they showed true equality in the brutal slaughter of adults AND kids I think it would be more disturbing and less cheap emotional manipulation.
