How can I get an image of my child removed from Facebook.com?

A few days back someone copied a picture of my daughter from my Dad's WhatsApp DP and put it on www.facebook.com in a fake profile with a pseudo name. Apparently that person also sent a friends request to my Dad on www.facebook.com. I was angry and anxious to nab this guy and punch him in the face as till date I have not put her picture (or my family members) anywhere on social media. I respect her privacy and mine too.  I accepted the request and found some contact information in email, this person used a part of email as a 10 digit mobile number. Called up that number and it turns out it is of someone in MP who doesn't have a clue about Facebook but uses whatsapp. He also got curious to find out who used his mobile number as an email ID and created a profile.

I tried logging removal request with Facebook and it kept giving me options to message the person, write to him/her. I was frustrated upon receiving all void options to get some help. Although I did mail him to remove the pictures, I didn't think it would work as the sole objective of putting someone else's picture is to cause some harassment. After about 45 minutes of research and options I came across two options:

1. Request removal of the page as it breaches my privacy. 

2. Request removal of the page as it breaches my child's privacy and puts it at risk. 

I logged both the requests. In the next 4 hours the 1st request was rejected, but in overall 24 hours the 2nd request probably worked and they removed the page and photo both. 

I hope this is helpful, just in case if someone gets into same trouble.
