I gave up reporting human trafficking/kidnap schemes (this sort of thing) operating in public Facebook groups after the fifth or so "we checked it and think it's fine" message, because at that stage I started to suspect that I'd been flagged by their systems as an unreliable reporter and none of my reports were actually getting looked at anyway.

It's not just you

The BBC reported an advert to Instagram showing a very young girl in tears, with wording indicating that she had been sexually assaulted.

But 24 hours later, Instagram replied saying it hadn't removed the advert because "our review team found that the advertiser's ad does not go against our community standards".
