After searching all the literature, I couldn't find any major study in which Remeron was used in children. However, one case report was promising, citing the use of mirtazapine in an 8-year old girl:

Good, Candace M.D.. Petersen, Christopher M.D.. SSRI AND MIRTAZAPINE IN PTSD. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 40(3):263-264, March 2001.

"The indications of the combined noradrenergic and serotonergic drug mirtazapine are broadening (Falkai, 1999). There are no open or controlled studies of mirtazapine augmentation in children, but this case did show a good response in the context of intensive inpatient treatment following a partial response to an SSRI. This report suggests the usefulness of studies of mirtazapine in children with PTSD."
