Maybe read the line under the bit that has confuddled you?
I think this either means the interstellar police is on to you for bookmarking those children, you slimy devil,
OR, it may (does) mean children in the context of the hierarchy of the star system to its planets and such.

I tried but there's these annoying red circles in the way.
When devs are allowed to write the screen text 
It's a pretty common terminology in programming to talk about parent-child relationships when referring to something (parent) containing other things (the 'children') - so a system (parent) has bookmarks on it's bodies/statoions etc (children). Of course this is confusing to non-techies, so you'd expect it to be presented on-screen not as 'Bookmarked Children' but something like 'Contains Bookmarks' (I think that would read better).

Hi All
I think this was reversed sometime when the map in Odyssey was updated?
Anyhow this confused me a little when I first noticed it. Yeah, and the 'Children' was initially confusing as well.
I've looked in the bookmark management menu to see If I could swap the Icons about to what it originally was but I couldn't find any way of doing this....no big deal though.

I seem to remember in 'Legacy' and Horizons (pre Odyssey) if you clicked on a System to bookmark it you would get the full bookmark Icon. If you then went into the System map and bookmarked a Planet, Star, whatever in that system, it displayed the Icon with the 'arrow' added.?When devs are allowed to write the screen text

mmm, that was my thought too, although i'm pretty sure in astronomy a different term is used,When devs are allowed to write the screen text

Face it man, time to pass out some cigars and congratulations to the happy parent bookmarks
