My little cousin stole my phone and deleted all my pics. They aren’t in the deleted folder thing, and I really want them back. How can I get them back?
Beat that little shit.
It won’t get you your photos back, but you will feel better.
Contact Apple Support. They can restore your recently deleted photos for up to 30 days. (Before you downvote me, I’m an Apple Support Advisor and have done this before.)

Even when removed from the Recently Deleted folder?
@Lennon
Yes. We have the ability to restore your trashed photos from the past 30 days. It puts them back in the Recently Deleted folder, and then you can restore whatever photos you want back to your camera roll.
@Bryn
Cool. TIL
!thanks
Did you at any point install Google Photos? Or Amazon Photos? Or OneDrive? Might’ve uploaded to one of those at some point in the background of you opening them.
Always back up your photos on your computer, especially vital ones. I even use Telegram for backups.
Two lessons: 1) never share your phone password, 2) use iCloud/OneDrive/Google to back up anything precious.
