Looks like the pictures are still there. If it were me, I'd ask Google to remove them, too, or at least 'Shop the kids out. Though I wouldn't contact the news media, since Mom's name in the news story makes the Google pics incredibly easy to find. It’s Street View, not satellite photos.

As far as I know, Google doesn't own or direct the satellites, it only takes the images that are produced and compiles them into what we know as Google Earth. There's nothing evil about that.
