Most community organizations around here are wise to the rules regarding using photos of other people, especially minors, and so most permission slips/waivers one might have to sign for children to participate in activities around this town usually include a proviso saying that the parent agrees to their child's image possibly being used in promotional materials and literature regarding the program.
Ms. Chang is a minor in the United States. As such, and according to our laws, only she and her parents have the right to her image, and no minor can enter into any kind of contract without parental consent. Given than neither was done in this case, and no kind of permission by them given regarding Ms. Chang's image, I can see how a cease-and-desist action on the part of Ms. Chang's family was an appropriate action. The TOS of the site this was posted on is irrelevant, given Ms. Chang's status as a minor.
