Please also bear in mind the ethical concerns around using images of children, especially around medical conditions, and their own informed consent. Children cannot consent to this, so obviously their parents/guardians can, which makes it legal. However, if they’re identifiable, they may well grow up to regret having their image associated with a medical condition, and this may have ramifications for them in later life. They, as children, had no say in the matter.
Just putting that out there.

One way to obscure the face is, if you're not trying to illustrate facial features of certain genetic conditions, to crop the face out entirely.
Also, I think the concern is more "Are the parents of the kids aware that the picture is on Wikipedia and are they okay with it?", and not copyright. I know people with genetic syndromes, along with some doctors and a lot of parents of kids with genetic syndromes, have issues with some of the medical imagery used to portray genetic conditions.
