Ethan Dallas was targeted by an adult sexual predator on Roblox when he was 12, and later on Discord, according to a lawsuit.

Social platforms Snapchat and Discord were also sued for facilitating abuse. In other lawsuits, parents accuse Minecraft and Fortnite of design choices that induce internet gaming disorder.

The mother of a 15-year-old California boy who took his own life is now suing Roblox and Discord over his death, alleging her son was allegedly groomed and coerced to send explicit images on the apps.
