Agree 100%. There have been a few horrific events in my area and people are now very sensitive to the misuse of images and personal identities. All the more so when the person is a minor and not a public figure in any way.
One of the local high schools does a big musical event in December, and the promotional posters are usually plastered around town (dry cleaners windows, community board at the grocery stores, etc.) The image usually highlights a few of the performers in costume. This year it was a beautiful graphic of the scenery.
Parents don’t want their kids faces showing up all over town with the dates of when they will be performing. It only takes one creep who decides 'Hey, for $10 I can see my “girlfriend (someone he’s never met) in person”. And then the stalking, an order of protection…
Better to be cautious from the git-go.
