Do a google search. Mold causes all sorts of health issues. Being that it is in your daughters room it's a good thing it's being addressed!

Yes you can. Depends on Oil or Water base paint and you stick with that base. I would not get near the house for atleast 24hrs after painting. I would also open all windows and put the fan on to try to hurry the dry time.
(I would still try to clean the Mold off then paint over it)

When I first bought my house, there was mold in it. The roof leaked and the walls had would sometimes cry water from the ceiling (it was weird cause it was under the paint... kind of creepy
)
I got some windex and started scrubbing... it took a while but got most of it done. If im not mistaken, Mold effects our lungs or imune system in general (atleast that was all it took to get my butt up to clean the stuff).
We actually tryed to make it fun... I told the kids (2 girls 5&8 at the time) we were going to clean the walls and for every spot they cleaned I would give them 10cents... they went to town and I ended up giving each one 20bux (we didnt even count) and they made the best of it
Later we remodeled and took care of everything.
I would take pics before you scrub them or try to remove them so incase of anything you have proof.
A side note... if you plan to paint, dont bother with any of the "Mold resistant junk" (powder packs to add in the paint) that Local Hardware places try to sell you. Just wipe down the walls every few months or whatever time frame the Mold tells you.
G/L and hope you have a quick delivery
Thanks alot for the info. HOpefully once its fixed this time, it will be the last time it has to be done before i move. Usually im not to worried about it but because my daughter has asthma and yes im pregnant, i really want it done.

I was told it causes health issues like Asthma etc... Thats what my Dr said when my daughters kept getting sick (thank god they are fine with no issues). They addressed our house and how is it. We came to a conclusion that it was due to the Mold and ever since my daughters dont get sick that much anymore (could be coincidence but we can sleep a lot better knowing its gone).
Once we heard that, we made it a priority to remove all we could till we were able to fix the situation
Hahaha so the super comes to my door again and says if im that worried, to stop bugging him and handed me a renters news! What an iggnorant $%$%^*%^(%^&$^#$^%&*^*(&^*)&^%^%$
that is called black mold. it can make you very sick. in pa were i live they will call the health department & move you out until it is cleaned up. call you're health department & tell them about it.
Since you don't own the building and your landlord is being an ass, I would report it to the health department so he has to pay for it to be properly cleaned up 
good luck with this awful situation and congradulations on new baby on the way.. call health department...
