Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
The parents should call the police. You can also call the police.
Yes, it is called fraud. It is a kind of theft - taking something (a service or property) that doesn't belong to you. Oftentimes it is a felony.
Blackmail is illegal, regardless of who the victim is. State laws vary on what constitutes blackmail.
Depending on the nature of the photos and how someone came into their possession there could be other criminal activity. For example, did someone hack into your computer and steal data (illegal) or photograph you in a public location (legal)?
Yes. Information can be extracted from the phone itself, and all of the data is stored on the service provider's servers.

Are men better at CPR than women because they're generally stronger?
Fashion Forecaster
What country is the most fashion-forward?
I don't know - that is a civil issue.
Only you can make the decision on what to do. If you want to be a police officer, be a police officer. If money is a motivating factor, try private enterprise. Neither the Navy nor police work is a path to riches. If a LT's salary is considered "high," you might be surprised at what is available if you started your own business or used your degree & experience to land a good career in the private sector.
If you are looking for the best salary in law enforcement, take a look at the federal agencies. Local departments in the northeast and west coast pay the best, but also have outrageous taxes and costs of living.
I don't know if there is a law in any of the states specifying what happens to a fallen officer's badge. Typically, this is covered in the department's standard operating procedures. Most departments provide the badge to the next of kin.
