It's a very common scam these days, I'm afraid. He's probably operating from overseas, so contacting your local law enforcement probably won't help. But it couldn't hurt.
Received a call from the "father" today asking about my "situation" I started with his daughter. Wants me to send him money to cover a plane ticket to fly his daughter back to south Carolina and to replace the phone he took from his daughter. He explains his wife wants to press charges but he will give me a second chance. The only form of payment he will accept is a "money 2 go" order from Walmart. He used his "daughters" POF account to lure me in. He gave me the 843-409-8167 number to text him with so I could send him pictures. Instead I sent him pictures off of the internet I searched up. Not sure what I should do here. Leave it alone or contact authorities?

Common extortion scam. Go to police, make a complaint of attempted extortion. Get a police report. Then if the person calls you again simply read out the extortion complaint number and the name of the law enforcement agency involved. That should stop him.
