Yes, you should have an attorney draft a general model's release allowing you to use the photos and keep the releases on file. Otherwise their parents can say that you never advised them of your intentions and sue for privacy violations. One parent is enough to sign the release on behalf of a child model. They are available online or you can contact my firm and we will be glad to do it for a nominal amount.
