What is the ruling on placing pictures of children, and are their pictures considered among the prohibited images of animate beings?

Pictures of children are images of animate beings. If they are sculpted or hand-drawn, it is not permissible to hang them, and they are not to be analogized to permissible children's toys. However, if they are captured by a camera, there is a difference of opinion regarding their ruling. It is preferable not to hang them, unless hanging them leads to their veneration and exaggeration, in which case it becomes forbidden.
