Perhaps it is just a California law? A lot of the worst of the Newtown images of course were of children who were being pimped....er, put forward by their parents. I would like to know what the actual laws are. My understanding is that here in CA permission of parents is needed for commercial use of images of children, but if the image is taken in a public place and is published by a news organization (not sure how "blogs" fit in there) then permission is not required. I was on an elementary school board for some years when my kids were younger, and we had occasion once to discuss (and ultimately deny) allowing children to be interviewed or photographed for a news story - but our control there was based on the interviews and images being taken on school grounds. I don't think that we or the parents could have stopped reporters from taking photographs of a 10 year old who left our school to walk home, but maybe I am wrong about that. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
