Roblox launched as a creative, social gaming platform where users, many of them children, could build worlds, play games, and connect with friends. Over the years, its popularity soared, drawing millions of young players daily. But with its growth came a troubling reality: the very tools meant to foster creativity and connection have also been exploited by online predators.
Investigations, lawsuits, and survivor accounts have revealed a disturbing pattern. Predators use Roblox’s chat features, avatars, and in-game currency to build trust, manipulate, and ultimately harm children. This grooming process often begins innocently with compliments, gifts, or offers of Robux. It escalates to requests for sexual images, sexualized conversations, or attempts to move the child to other platforms where abuse intensifies.
Despite public promises of safety, Roblox Corporation has faced mounting criticism for failing to detect and prevent grooming, sextortion, and abuse on its platform. Families who placed their trust in Roblox feel betrayed, left to navigate the trauma and aftermath on their own.
Guardian Legal Network was founded on the belief that no victim should have to suffer in silence, and no parent should have to fight alone. We connect survivors and their families with attorneys who understand the complexities of online abuse cases and who are committed to seeking justice and accountability.
