Basically, Roblox is in a lawsuit due to allegations against it that they have not taken adequate measures to safeguard young users of the internet. Several scary situations have been going on, that is, adults faking being children, obscene substances showing up in games, and the actual harm that was done to the kids in the real world. Yup, there have been some instances where this whole situation has turned really ugly. Overall, people are saying that there are so many pedophiles using this platform to trick kids, and that’s why this Roblox Lawsuit has become a big thing. Let’s talk about it a little more.
The Major Lawsuit Filed in Louisiana
Back in August 2025, Liz Murrill, the Attorney General of Louisiana, took a serious step by filing this very lawsuit against Roblox. Why? Like, what were the main allegations? First of all, the platform was not only unsafe for kids, but that it was being taken over by people with bad intentions. The complaint emphasizes that the bad guys are capable of fabricating their identities, chatting with kids, and even abusing them without the site helping much to avoid such activities.
One of the instances described in the complaint involves a 13-year-old girl who was reached out to through Roblox and then abducted. Additionally, a person employed voice-modulation equipment to masquerade as a little girl so as to trick the other children. These illustrations pinpoint the reasons for the lawsuit.
Besides that, the lawsuit also highlights an essential issue: Roblox in no way securely verifies a user’s age at the time of registration. So the system is designed in such a way that anybody can say that they are 12 years old, and the system will just accept them; there are no controls, no questions asked.
More Lawsuits Are Being Filed
At first, Louisiana could be the one, but it will definitely not be the last one. Juries from different states are getting prepared for the next rounds. The Dolman Law Group is a great example, having already filed five complaints against Roblox and is also evaluating numerous other suits.
The lawsuits make allegations that Roblox was aware of the problematic content and activities that included weird avatars, deceptive usernames, and inappropriate role-play games, but did not engage in a timely or significant manner. A few parents, moreover, assert that they placed their trust in the platform and were quite shocked when they realized that it was not as secure as they had thought.
Roblox in 2023 was sued for a false safety promise claim, which alleged the company lied to users (children) about the safety of the platform. Part of the lawsuit was the claim that the game currency Robux could make children get addicted to gambling-like activities. And those are just some of the company’s legal problems, which keep getting bigger.
How Serious Are These Allegations?
The claims are very serious. In a particular report, more than 3,000 users were discovered in groups that not only shared explicit content but also attempted to engage with children in dangerous ways.
The lawsuits state that Roblox was either fully aware or ought to have been aware of all these things.
What’s Roblox Doing In Response?
Roblox has not remained silent. The firm has reacted to the legal actions and mentions that it is very concerned about the safety of the users. Actually, they have implemented several safety initiatives in the recent past.
Users aged between 13 and 17 years have to do a video selfie verification to access some chat features, verify true identity and prevent impersonation. Additionally, there is a technology named Sentinel designed by Roblox that uses AI to detect any unusual activities. During the first six months of 2025, Sentinel identified more than 1,200 instances and made reports to child protection agencies.
