There's something wrong with that photo. The background is darkened and the left leg is not symmetrical with the right, or the rest of the body of a baby that size.
As much as I believe the Pali's would do this, this one may be a creation of someone else.

While you may be right, it doesn't seem logicial that someone doctoring a photo would have done anything with the legs. They'd have started with a comlete photo of the child, and patched the explosives in on top of it, and the inconsistencies would be between the explosives and the rest of the photo. IMHO.

The photo is real. The bacground is darkened has nothing to do with anything, and as for your observation that the legs are not symmetrical: if you look carefully (you may have to blow the pic up a bit, and I was lucky enough to get hold of a large print) - you'll see that what is obscuring part of one leg is in fact one of the ends of that bomb harness thing, just hanging free and in front of the leg.

Plus, the family confirms the pic but insists it was a "joke". "Lots of kids mimics the fighters", I think was one of the palie excuses.
