I disagree. Our obligation should be to report what is reported. Not to
obscure merely for the sake of some rather ill-defined notion of "privacy" or
some such thing.
Do you think we should not report the names of the children of Edward III
who died as infants?
I think it's interesting to see what he and his wife named each of his
children.
In addition, if a biography subject had no children, one child, or 12
children, is very important to presenting a full picture of the person.
Children have a great impact on parents. If our sources discuss the
children, then we should as well.
If they don't, then we shouldn't either.

Why do you say that? In most cases we should not mention children by name.
