Well consent was given (by the parent), when the photo was taken.

Seems a little "too late" to retroactively remove consent some years later. That being said, I can see arguments either way that make sense. :/

In most legal circumstances consent can be withdrawn at a later date. That generally can only not be done if something is permanent. Requiring the photo to be "de-published" is something that publications have done for some time.

Just to note, consent to take a photo does not automatically imply consent to publish that photo.
