My point on this is simple. When you release a photo you are basically saying to the world 'do as you wish with it'. The family should have put conditions on it's reproduction from the outset and as they didn't then i don't think they have an case and nor should they.
But it isn't just about the photo - as the family said (in the OP link)

"Ms Whitear's parents said they would not have given their consent for the image to be used by any political party and were especially concerned about the claims made in the leaflet.
Her stepfather, Mick Holcroft, told the BBC they were exploring the legal steps they can take through the courts.
Her mother Pauline Holcroft said: "Our biggest concern is that because they have printed Rachel's name on the front of the leaflet it looks to all intents and purposes as if we are backing it, as if we had given our consent. "That is far from the truth." "
