Editorial use, like in a local newspaper, generally doesn't
require a release. Commercial use definitely does. Commercial is
broadly defined as selling or promoting a product or a service.
That includes all advertising, most magazines, and much of the
Web.
There are large gray areas here. But photos of children are a
touchy subject nowadays. I personally wouldn't dream of using a
photo of a child for anything without a written release from the
parent or legal guardian.
