One defense of the absence of children and the elderly in the film is that they're less likely to be out after midnight when the monster attack begins. The filmmakers would also have had several practical concerns with regarding using children, as (1) child labor laws prevent filmmakers from using child models at night, (2) children are more likely to disclose guarded information to the public, (3) children require added efforts to keep them safe, (4) underage models require an additional signature on the release form which creates delays and coordination problems, (5) the American public is very sensitive about the depiction of children being harmed. Children and the elderly are not entirely banished from the film: one old man can be seen when the Statue of Liberty's head lands in the street. The crying of a baby can be heard in one stairwell scene early in the film.
