Is it ill-advised to have a child protagonist (either first or third POV) in a story that contain a fair share of violence and gore ? I'm worried readers of this kind of story may not relate with a young character, or find the whole thing annoying/tasteless. To be clear, my story isn't a non-stop [stream of bloody, horrific events](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TraumaCongaLine) suffered by the protagonist, but it does contain a few disturbing or violent scenes.
