This is similar to the whole "fair use" brouhaha at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Madeleine_close2.jpg#Licence (the photo of Madeleine McCann, a child who's been missing for 2 years) - as if Madeleine's family wouldn't wholeheartedly agree to that picture being plastered on every website in the world.
I'm sure thats correct and it also makes it easy to resolve - get permission.
The kind of permission we require would allow the image to used as a part of, say, toy advertisements or political ads. The family of a disappeared child may not wish to give that sort of permission.
