Allow me to explain it in simple terms.
Whenever you use someone's picture for commercial purposes (to make money) you need a model release (a signed contract with that person or their legal representative) which basically says "I give this person the right to use my picture to make money".
If you don't do that you can get sued because you're using the picture to make money without having the right to do so.
That's for just starters.
Then you add to that the whole jailbait/underage and porn angle and you have yourself a situation that could potentially land you in serious legal trouble.
And that's not even considering privacy laws, the social networks' terms and conditions he/she downloads the pictures from which it's safe to assume are being broken among other legal angles.
