Comic Life and cartoonise the Photos
If you have Comic Life work that have photos of children in them, but you do not want to have the children’s photos online. Publish them and protect anonymity by double clicking on each picture, click on the details button
and used one of the filters to comicfy the pictures. 
Do this for each photo and the effect is that that you can still make out what the figures are doing, but you can't make out the faces.
