Re: pictures of minors
While you do have some First Amendment rights to publish photos of your family, the parents of the children may succeed in forcing you to remove the pictures from your myspace page... if not by asking you nicely, they may have the right to issue a DMCA takedown notice.
You could fight it, and maybe win, but at what cost in dollars and burnt bridges.
Morally, the thing to do is take them down, respecting the parents' wishes.
If you're using the images in any way that might be construed as "commercial"... that fact weighs strongly against you, too.
