Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the image/video of your minor that you would like removed from our platform. We understand your concern for your minor's privacy and well-being online.
For privacy reasons, we require minors 13 years or older to submit the request through this form themselves. We can then review the request.
Since you're an adult writing in from the US, we won't be able to remove this content for you using this form. For more information, please see our

We are unable to remove content based on the request of someone who is not the legal guardian or parent of the minor. The right to request removal of an image/video of a minor lies solely with the minor's legal guardian or parent.
If you believe that the image/video of the minor is in violation of the minor's privacy, the minor’s legal guardian or parent can use this form to submit a request. We may request documentation that establishes this status.
We can investigate further if we receive a request from the minor’s legal guardian or parent.
