In November, it was reported that the company faced more than <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/judge-rules-online-platform-roblox-keeping-alleged-abuse\/story?id=127190227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">35 lawsuits<\/a>. Many of these lawsuits have been brought by parents. However, states have also brought legal action against Roblox. Some of these lawsuits allege that children and teens are repeatedly exposed to sexually explicit content, exploitation, and grooming on the platform; some allege that the platform enables sexual predators to contact children even when they aren\u2019t connected. In one case, a perpetrator, had started communications by posing as a 16-year-old, and moved communication off of Roblox and onto Discord, where he coerced the child with Robux gift cards in exchange for explicit videos and images and tried to arrange an in-person meeting, even threatening the child that he knew his home address.<\/p>\n<p>Last year in December, a thirteen-year-old took her own life, and a lawsuit was filed against the gaming platforms Roblox and Discord. The teenager who died by suicide began playing Roblox when she was eight years old and experienced a downturn in her mental health. She recorded the countdown to her death in her diary.

The filing also claims that Discord permits content related to self-harm and that adults have used the platform to blackmail or ask teenagers to harm themselves or commit suicide in front of the phone or computer camera.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/roblox-repeatedly-sued-for-harm-to-children-and-teens\/#more-3643\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A string of lawsuits has been filed against Roblox alleging that the platform allows child grooming and exploitation.
