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. 

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.

Social media and its risks

A guy sends you a friend request. You don't know him, but he's got a cute profile pic, so you accept his friend request. It's your baby girl's first day of school ! She looks SO cute in her new outfit you just have to take a picture and put it on Facebook so all your friends and family can see. You're so excited dropping her off that you "check in" to her school on Fb saying "I can't believe how big she's gotten. Time sure flies. One proud momma/daddy right here!".... Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted earlier this morning is saving that picture you posted of your daughter in her cute new outfit to his phone and texting it to 60 other grown men across the world with the caption "Indian female. Age 5. Brown hair,black eyes. Rs.70,000/-." Not only did you provide a picture of your little girl to a child trafficker,you've handed him the name and exact location of her school on a silver cyber platter. You go to pick her up at 3:00 this afternoon, but she's nowhere to be found. Little do you know, your precious baby girl was sold to a 43-year-old pedophile before you even stepped foot off campus this morning, and now she's on her way to South Africa with a bag over her head,confused, terrified and crying because a man she's never seen before picked her up from school, and now she doesn't know where her parents are, where she's going, or what's gonna happen to her.STOP ADDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK And STOP posting everything about your life on Facebook..avoid keeping children in profile pics. I had to share it for the sake of all kids and parents , thanks
