Of course they had permission. The mom took her kids to a modeling agency a couple years ago. They took pics of the kids and put them in the 'stock' photo pile.

Then the billboard people look through the stock photos and buy the rights to use the photo for the billboard.

The mom was compensated when the photos were taken and may have gotten some more money when someone bought the rights to her daughter's image.

The mother signed away all rights to the photos the day they were taken. She sold her daughter's image.

Do you know that to be true, or is that merely speculation on what you think (might have|should have|probably) happened?

She could no more understand this concept than she could understand the general theory of relativity. The only thing she understood was the money.
