I'd vote for this. For the options

- Select parents.
- Deselect parents. 

they could also be set/unset in settings->metadata, so they don't need space in the sidebar/menu (I guess most people will not change these options frequently). If settings->metadata is not the right place, it would be comfortable if the chosen options remain remembered until one changes them.

...ehm, is it clear what happens to the children then? To explain:

When there is a picture tagged:

People > Children > Boy 
and option "Select parents" is checked
and I want to deselect "Children" 

what happens to the "Boy"?

proposals:
a) deselect a parent tag when the picture has cild-tags of this parent is not possible (warning like "you have to deselect all child-tags of this tag for this picture before you can deselect this tag"), or
b) extend option to "Deselect parents/children", or
c) add third option "Deselect children if parent is deselected"

(I'd prefer a)

Finally, so that people don't get afraid that they loose their children or parents, I'd name the options "parent tags" and "child tags" instead of just parents/children :-)
