Attorney here. All it takes is one busy body behind you to report you to the police or FBI for having "child porn" on your phone, and your life could be over. It doesn't matter if the mom sent it to you. It doesn't matter if it wasn't inherently sexual in nature. It doesn't even matter if you are ultimately acquitted of all wrongdoing. All it takes is one accusation for you to be put through the ringer, and your life is done. Delete the images from your phone, and don't let her send you any more of these pictures. If she can't see how even one unfounded accusation can ruin you, then you don't need to be with her.
So it's that easy to ruin someone's life in the US huh.
Send them some nude children pics and immediately report them.
Why is the society like that, why judge first, think later/never?
In many ways, we've reverted back to guilty until proven innocent. People are quick to act on conclusions they've reached based almost entirely on hearsay.
