Do You Have a Lawsuit for Your Child’s Use of Roblox or Discord?

The companies behind Roblox and Discord are facing lawsuits from parents across the United States. These lawsuits allege that Roblox and Discord enable child exploitation and pose other risks for their young users. If your child has been harmed as a result of using Roblox or Discord, you should talk to an experienced mass tort lawyer about your family’s legal rights.

We have seen several mass tort lawsuits targeting social media companies and other online platforms in recent years. Some of the most recent lawsuits involve claims against the companies behind Roblox and Discord. In these lawsuits, parents allege that these companies failed to adequately protect their child users, leading to grooming, exploitation, sexual abuse, and other harms that these companies could—and should—have taken steps to prevent.

Parents are continuing to file Roblox and Discord lawsuits nationwide.

If your child has been targeted on Roblox or Discord, your family may be entitled to financial compensation. A mass tort lawyer at our firm can assess your family’s legal rights and, if warranted, take legal action on your family’s behalf. It costs nothing out of pocket to hire an attorney in this scenario, and plaintiffs in Roblox and Discord lawsuits are seeking substantial compensation for the harms their children have endured.

Why Are the Companies Behind Roblox and Discord Being Sued?

The companies behind Roblox and Discord are facing lawsuits on several grounds. Ultimately, however, these lawsuits focus on allegations that the companies behind these platforms failed to take necessary steps to protect children’s safety—and that they did so knowingly in some cases. Some examples of specific allegations included in lawsuits filed to date include:

• Negligently designing platforms with ineffective age and identity verification protocols
• Negligently failing to restrict communication between adult and child users
• Negligently failing to take steps to prevent adults from moving conversations to other platforms or arranging in-person meetings
• Monetizing aspects of their platforms that facilitate grooming and exploitation
• Failing to detect harmful and exploitative communications and failing to escalate concerns

From in-game chat features and “Robux” transactions on Roblox to failing to monitor for coded language and requests for outside contact on Discord, lawsuits allege that the companies behind both platforms fell far short of what was necessary to prevent predation. These lawsuits are still pending, and the software developers are fighting plaintiffs’ allegations. However, more lawsuits are continuing to get filed; and, as the litigation moves forward, we are continuing to learn about what appear to be tragic stories of children falling victim to predators who took advantage of these platforms’ deficiencies.

When Can (and Should) Parents File a Roblox or Discord Lawsuit?

Parents should talk to a mass tort lawyer about filing a Roblox or Discord lawsuit if their child was targeted by an adult on one of these platforms. This includes (but is not limited to) cases involving:

• Being targeted and groomed by adult users of Roblox and Discord
• Receiving requests or being coerced into sending explicit photos or videos
• Suffering sexual abuse on Roblox, Discord, or other online platforms (including exposure to sexual content)
• Being sexually assaulted upon meeting adult users in person  
• Falling victim to blackmail or other exploitation schemes

Sadly, these are all very real concerns, and lawsuits allege that each of these events has occurred in multiple cases. As a result, parents should not ignore any concerns they may have. If you are unsure whether your child’s victimization warrants legal action against the developers of Roblox or Discord, our lawyers can provide the advice and insights you need to make informed decisions about your next steps.
