Shotwell should let you do this via a Boolean search: you should
be able to search for all photos tagged with 'Family', but not
with 'Dad' or 'Mom'. Unfortunately it's not currently possible to
search for all photos which are not tagged with a particular tag:

Once that is fixed I think a Boolean search should do the trick.
We could consider adding an additional search operator which
matches only a given tag (not parent tags). It might be a little
tricky to come up for a name for that operator which would be
clear, since we already have an operator "is exactly", which means
an exact string match. Feel free to file a ticket for an
additional operator like this and propose how it would look in the
user interface.
Boolean search would be great. From the GUI perspective, when you
select a tag, you get all the images that have that tag. I've thought
it would be really handy if you could shift-select or crtl-select
another tag, and have images with those tags excluded from the image
set. That works well with the original poster's problem; he could
select 'Parent' and then exclude-select 'Child A' and exclude-select
'Child B'.
Well, we actually intend to let the user select multiple tags but with a
different meaning, namely the intersection (AND) of all the selected tags:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2275
With your proposal, it's not clear which tag would be included and which
would be excluded. I suppose you could say that the first tag selected
would be included and others would be excluded, but I think that
wouldn't be obvious at all.
