How to request that a child’s image be removed from Google results

Google announced that minors (or their parents or guardians) may request that their photos be removed from image searches.

Google announced it would do this in August, but now there is a way to request it.

You will also need to provide other details such as your identification and contact information and, if desired, a screenshot.
