Photos of minors online without parental consent = direct GDPR breach (UAVG Art. 5) + portrait law. Platforms have fast-track procedures for child data. Three scenarios: (1) Innocent context (school, relatives, ex-partner posting photos): report to platform + erasure request to poster. Fast result. (2) Commercial use (ad with child photo): portrait right claim + GDPR damages claim + AP complaint (child data = priority). (3) Sexual context: NCMEC Take It Down + Helpwanted.nl directly + police report (Sr 240b child pornography). Helpwanted has 24/7 hash-matching with Apple + Meta + Google removing child images worldwide. Routes: Step 1: Meta/TikTok/Snapchat "report" via privacy category for minors. Step 2: GDPR erasure to account owner — use our generator. Step 3: on sexual context: NCMEC Take It Down (free hash-matching) + Helpwanted + police. Step 4: AP complaint for structural platforms. Important: for minors GDPR Art. 17(1)(f) is stronger than for adults — "right to be forgotten for minors". Platform may not refuse this.
