there's 800 threads on this subject under the business of photography section - so you're posting this in the wrong section. If you go to the top of the business section you'll see a sticky with info...

as for laws, if you have permission from the venue you can take images legally. You can sell them to parents legally. You CANNOT sell them as stock to companies to use without a model release if they're being used for commercial purposes. You can sell them to editorial clients like the newspaper legally though. You can post them on a site of your own legally as it's considered editorial (however you may have a parent request the image be taken off - they sometimes say they'll sue but they have no legal ground to stand on - easiest thing is just take them off - and if there's more than one kid in the photo say those will not be removed, only the ones where the kids alone will be).
