As for families? I really doubt it. Of course there may be some countries that permit it but I am not aware of them.
There's at least one airline on the eastern side of the Pond that has (or until recently had) a US style system: crewmembers could jump seat in certain defined circumstances but all sorts of caveats.
Families, nowhere as far as I know.
