The kid stays in the picture

Alongside a story in its sports pages a couple of weeks ago, the Sunday Times ran a photo of a rugby scrum. The oddity that it contains is barely visible in the small version that it ran online and could easily have gone unnoticed:

Is that a child? Who photoshopped a child in there? Was it to spare the blushes of Sunday Times readers because of a rogue cock adrift in the scrum? Was the picture editor hoping one day to sell the image on eBay for a vastly inflated price because it’s “haunted”? Or is the Sunday Times running some kind of competition, in which case what do we win?
