Legal support for victims of online harm
If an adult used Roblox chat or private messages to groom, pressure, or sexually exploit a child, your family may have legal options. A participating attorney can review what happened for free and in confidence.
What happened is not your child’s fault, and it is not yours.
Roblox is a popular online game platform where many players are children and teens. Its social features, such as game chat, private messages and private servers, let players talk with people they don’t know in real life.
Some adults use those features to target children. The harm can stay online or move to other apps and, in some cases, to in-person contact.
An adult builds trust with a child in game chat, private messages, or private servers, often pretending to be a peer, then slowly pushes boundaries.
The adult asks for, or pressures a child into sending, photos or videos. Some go on to threaten to share them unless the child sends more. This is called sextortion.
Robux, game items, or other gifts are offered to create a sense of owing something, or to keep the relationship secret.
Contact often moves off Roblox to apps like Discord or Snapchat, and in some cases to an in-person meeting.
Some user-made games have also been reported to contain hidden sexualized content (sometimes called “condo games”) that can expose children to inappropriate material.
Families across the country have filed lawsuits alleging that Roblox Corporation (and in some cases Discord) failed to protect children from sexual exploitation, for example through inadequate safety features, weak age verification, and insufficient moderation. These are allegations that the courts have not yet decided.
On December 12, 2025, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized the federal cases into In re: Roblox Corporation Child Sexual Exploitation and Assault Litigation, MDL No. 3166, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California before Chief Judge Richard Seeborg.
Every situation is different. Only a licensed attorney can evaluate a claim, and deadlines vary by state.
No single sign proves that something is wrong, and some children show no signs at all. If something feels off, a calm, open conversation is a good place to start.
Hiding screens, deleting messages, or getting upset when asked about who they talk to online.
Talking about a new friend you have never met, especially an older one, or one who seems to know a lot about them.
Unexplained Robux, game items, gift cards, or packages from someone you don’t know.
Being asked to move conversations to Discord, Snapchat, or other private messaging apps.
Pulling away from family and friends, losing interest in activities, or changes in sleep or school performance.
Seeming jumpy, anxious, or scared when a notification arrives, or avoiding a game they used to enjoy.
Getting a free review takes a few minutes, and your family decides what happens next.
Our assistant asks some short, non-graphic questions about what happened and who you are asking for.
If you choose to continue, add your contact details so someone can follow up privately.
A participating attorney or their intake team may contact you to talk through your options. There is no obligation.
The assistant opens right on this page. You can stop at any time, and you decide whether to submit your contact details.
What you share stays confidential. Asking for a review is free, and your family decides whether to move forward.
You can share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. A child does not need to be involved in the first conversation.
There is no charge to submit your information or have your situation reviewed. Attorneys who handle these cases often work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. Terms vary, so read any agreement before you sign.
Getting Justice Now is operated by TFT Legal Service, an attorney advertising and referral service, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no particular outcome can be promised.
Straight answers about how this works. If you are unsure about anything, ask the attorney before you sign.
If a child is in immediate danger, call 911. To report online child sexual exploitation, contact the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org or 1-800-843-5678.
No. Getting Justice Now is an attorney advertising and referral service operated by TFT Legal Service. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice. If you ask for a review, your information is shared with a participating attorney or law firm, who decides whether to offer representation. Only a licensed attorney can evaluate a claim.
Yes. A parent or legal guardian can request a review on behalf of a child under 18. Adults who were minors when the abuse happened can also ask for a review themselves.
Your information is used only to evaluate your request. It is shared with participating attorneys and with the service providers who help us run this website, as described in our Privacy Policy. You do not need to share graphic details to get started.
You may still be able to ask. Many states have special time limits for claims involving child sexual abuse, and some allow more time when the victim was a minor. Deadlines (statutes of limitations) vary by state and depend on the facts, so it is a good idea to ask an attorney soon.
Many families never make a report, or only realize what happened much later. You can still request a review. Separately, if a child may still be at risk, please report to the NCMEC CyberTipline or local police.
