probably worth [re]considering. Perhaps it is enough initially to tag
images
lacking releases accordingly, with a view to having them released or replaced? I note that this would also dispense with many concerns about minors by requiring a minor release by parents or guardians[5].
At the moment pictures with people in are tagged with a warning that a reuser may have to consider model release and personality rights, and Commons guarantees nothing. It's not clear from your message why this is inadequate.
It quite probably is, and provided the tags are used it answers some of the issues in the other (sexual content) thread too.
Thanks,
