May 7, 2025
- Roblox and Discord Sued in Florida: A Florida family has filed a lawsuit against Roblox Corporation and Discord Inc., alleging that the companies enabled the sexual exploitation of their teenage daughter.

Roblox and Discord Abuse Lawsuits: What Families Should Know
Millions of children log into Roblox every day to play games, customize avatars, and chat with friends. But as the platform has grown, so have the risks—especially when conversations move from Roblox to external apps like Discord. A growing number of lawsuits are now pointing to this combination as a doorway for online exploitation.
If your child was contacted by strangers on Discord through Roblox, or exposed to explicit content, harassment, or abuse, you may have grounds to file a claim.

What Is the Roblox–Discord Connection?
Roblox is designed to let users build and play games created by others. But beyond gameplay, it's also a social network—one where chat features, friend requests, and in-game interactions often lead to conversations outside the platform.
Discord, a third-party app originally designed for gamers, has become the next stop for many of these interactions. In public and private Discord servers, users can text, call, send images, and stream content with little to no oversight. This shift opens the door for predators, scammers, and inappropriate content.
How Predators Reach Children Through Roblox and Discord
Lawsuits describe a pattern of behavior used by online predators:
-
A child receives an in-game message on Roblox
-
The message includes a Discord link or username
-
The conversation moves to Discord, where supervision drops off
-
Harmful content, pressure, or grooming begins
Many families say they never knew the communication happened. Discord does not require ID verification, and Roblox does not always block links or usernames that lead off-platform. In some cases, children were exposed to pornographic content, pressured to share photos, or threatened to keep conversations secret.

Real-World Harm from Online Exploitation
Families involved in these lawsuits describe a range of impacts—some emotional, others physical or financial. Examples include:
- Children being manipulated into sending explicit photos
- Exposure to sexually graphic or violent content
- Harassment and coercion by adult users posing as children
- Increased anxiety, depression, or sleep disturbances
- Changes in school performance, appetite, or behavior
For some families, the harm wasn’t discovered until after it escalated. Messages were hidden. Notifications were silenced. By the time a parent noticed, trust had already been broken—and in some cases, abuse had already taken place.
What the Lawsuits Allege
Attorneys representing families across the country are holding Roblox Corporation accountable for failing to protect children on its platform—and for allowing predators to reach them through Discord.
Key claims include:
- Roblox’s failure to monitor in-game communications that lead children to Discord
- Lack of age verification or effective parental controls
- Inadequate safety warnings about off-platform risks
- A business model that prioritizes engagement and profit over protection
Discord is also under scrutiny. Families allege that the platform does not do enough to verify user identities, filter inappropriate content, or suspend accounts linked to abuse reports.
Who Can File a Roblox Discord Abuse Claim?
You may be eligible to file a lawsuit if:
- Your child was contacted on Roblox and invited to Discord
- That connection led to harassment, exploitation, or abuse
- The harm involved emotional trauma, explicit content, or coercion
- You can document your child’s use of Roblox and Discord, and the harm experienced
Some claims also include in-game purchases made under pressure or manipulation, especially if the interaction involved false promises or threats.
Young adults who were harmed as minors may still qualify depending on the timeline.
