I hope that's a water-based pen. If not you could always market it as an art car. The biggest difference I can see is that your kids aren't famous artists (yet).

That’s a very nice permanent marker.
Not my stile of art. Kids love it. I didn’t kill them yet. |

Use a dry wipe marker over the top and it will wipe off bit by bit, my guys made the same mistake on a client’s site  2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon

It will come off. You need to find the correct thinner (make sure it does not damage the paint!) and the paint will benefit from a polish afterwards. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, have a body shop do it. And make your kids cut the grass or do other chores to pay - even if you have to wait a few years till they're old enough to cut grass. Just out of curiosity: how old and what was the reason/excuse? With the mirror, door handles, sill and arch guards it almost looks malicious. 
When I was about 5yrs old my mom had a VW Bug. My dad had bought a tin of touch-up paint, but it wasn't just a stick like today, it was nearly a quart sized tin. I have a vague memory of deciding I was going to 'help' my parents by repainting the front wing - and a more concrete memory of my dad discovering me mid brushstroke and going absolutely ballistic. I'd covered about 1/3 of the wing by then.

They are 2 and 5…left them in the kitchen with black paper and white markers. I told them I was going to the garage, move the BBQ to the Garden. By the time I was back they were having great time decorating the defender. They love it and they wanted to make it look nicer.
I wasn’t annoyed. It reminded me when I was 5 and painted black my dad’s car with a spray can. I didn’t like his green car  .
This is clearly pay back, Karma. Difference being my dad running after me with his belt at hand. |

Bodyshop suggested DIY. They gave me a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and and a cloth and I was suggested to master Mr Miyagi technic: wax on, wax off.
Done that in 10 minutes. Washed the car, all good as new. Click image to enlarge |

I wonder what they will do next?
My parents took a similar approach to you as I have to my daughters. Education not punishment but boundaries to respect.
At 19 and 24 I couldn't be prouder of my daughters.  Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy. |
