ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - An anonymous DeKalb County mother has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, one of the world’s largest online game platforms, after her child was allegedly groomed and abused while playing.

Filed in Gwinnett County state court on Monday, the suit accuses Roblox officials of foregoing basic safety measures in the name of profit. It’s one of many lawsuits filed against the platform, which has been tied to several child abuse and kidnapping cases nationwide.

“This action, therefore, is not just a battle to vindicate plaintiff’s rights — it is a stand against defendant’s systemic failures to protect society’s most vulnerable from unthinkable harm in pursuit of financial gain over child safety," the complaint says.
