In the case of the two images you have shown, provided the land was public, I would have no problem using them. Some confusion can arise over 2 points: 1. There is a difference between "public land" and land to which the public have access. To give you an example, you could photograph legally in the street outside a shopping mall but you could not photograph within that mall even though the public are free to enter and have full access. 2. There can be some argument over what damage an image may do, but in your case there is no material harm to the children. That is my opinion, and I personally think this whole thing can be blown up out of all proportion.
