Legal Action for Families Impacted by Abuse on Roblox
At Cooper Masterman, we are representing families whose children have been harmed through interactions on the Roblox platform—a digital space that, while widely used by young audiences, has repeatedly failed to protect its most vulnerable users.
A Platform Built for Kids,
Exploited by Predators
Roblox promotes itself as a creative and safe virtual world for children. However, ongoing investigations and legal complaints reveal a disturbing pattern: adults exploiting the platform to contact and manipulate minors. Using built-in chat features and third-party messaging apps like Discord, predators are able to approach children under the guise of friendship, only to engage in grooming or worse.
For many families, this abuse came despite relying on Roblox’s public claims about safety, moderation tools, and parental controls. Behind the marketing lies a system that has proven inadequate at keeping children safe from digital predators.
Recent Legal and
Media Developments
-
A high-profile case in California involves a 13-year-old victim, where the legal complaint accuses Roblox and Discord of enabling abuse through poor design and misrepresentation of safety measures.
-
Digital safety researchers have found continued gaps in Roblox’s content moderation, allowing minors to access explicit content and interact with strangers.
-
National child safety organizations have criticized the platform’s failure to implement industry-standard protections despite years of warnings and rising reports of exploitation.
These stories aren’t isolated—they point to a broader crisis that demands accountability.
How We Are Responding
Our firm is currently pursuing coordinated legal action against Roblox and associated entities for:
-
Negligence: Failing to implement reasonable safeguards for children on a platform explicitly designed for them.
-
Product Liability: Creating a system that allows strangers to directly message or exploit underage users.
-
False Advertising: Misleading parents and guardians into believing the platform had stronger protections than it actually did.
We’re organizing claims as part of a larger mass tort effort. This allows families to pursue justice while increasing collective legal leverage. We are also working with clinical experts to fully document the psychological and emotional trauma many of these children have endured.
Do You or Your Child Qualify?
You may be eligible to join this legal effort if:
-
Your child was contacted by a stranger through Roblox or associated platforms and experienced harm, either emotional or physical.
-
The abuse led to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or suicidal ideation.
-
You relied on Roblox’s public statements about its safety features when permitting your child to use the platform.
We provide compassionate, confidential intake services that prioritize client privacy and emotional safety. Our intake process is designed to help families tell their stories clearly and securely.
Why This Matters
For too long, platforms like Roblox have prioritized rapid user growth over child safety. It is time for accountability. Legal action not only helps families seek justice, but also puts pressure on companies to finally implement meaningful changes that protect users—especially children.
If your family has been impacted, we encourage you to reach out. Your story matters, and you are not alone.
