A Letter to Parents: Finding Hope and Taking Action Amidst Fears of Online Exploitation
As a parent, the fear of your child being harmed is a constant, quiet worry. When that threat comes from the very online platforms marketed and designed for young people to connect and play together, the feeling of betrayal and helplessness can leave you feeling devastated and angry.
You may be wondering if the fun of online games like Roblox or the community on Discord could expose your child to a danger you cannot control. The truth is, you are not alone in your concerns, and many families across the country are bringing lawsuits alleging exactly this.
We are proud to report that a law firm associated with FileAbuseLawsuit recently brought legal action against these companies to hold them accountable for the harm they have allegedly caused to minors nationwide.
A recent lawsuit filed against tech giants Roblox and Discord by Attorney Matthew Dolman seeks to do more than just right a wrong—it aims to change the systems that make child exploitation on these platforms possible. The complaint, which alleges the defendants’ negligent design and failure to protect children, is a direct confirmation to concerned parents that their fears are valid and that there is a path to justice.
The Enormous Scale of Roblox: A Community of Millions
To understand the full scope of the lawsuit, it is important to first understand the massive scale of the Roblox platform. With 88.9 million daily active users, Roblox is one of the world's most popular online destinations.
While the platform has a diverse user base, a significant portion is made up of children and teenagers. According to the company's own data, 39% of its users are 13 years old or younger, while 60% are over the age of 13.
The user base is also globally diverse, with the highest concentration of users in the Asia-Pacific region, followed by Europe and the United States. Additionally, the gender split is relatively even, with 51% of users identifying as male and 44% as female.
These statistics underscore a crucial point: a platform with such an immense and young user base has a heightened moral and legal responsibility to ensure their safety. When innocent young people are harmed, those responsible should be held accountable.
The Roblox and Discord Lawsuit: Holding Platforms Responsible for a Child's Trauma
On July 18, 2025, Attorney Dolman, the founding partner of Dolman Law Group, filed a lawsuit in San Mateo County, California, which is where Roblox is headquartered. The case stems from the heartbreaking case of a Florida minor who was allegedly groomed and exploited through the chat features on both Roblox and Discord. This case highlights a disturbing claim: the design of these platforms can make it easy for predators to access and harm children with little to no protection from the companies.
The complaint alleges that for years, these companies have promoted their platforms to parents as safe spaces for kids while doing little to restrict dangerous interactions between adults and minors.
This lawsuit is an attempt to change that. It seeks to prove that Roblox and Discord knew, or should have known, about the risks their platforms posed and that their failure to act made exploitation not just a possibility, but a predictable consequence. It is a legal action that demands that these companies be held accountable for putting profits over the safety and well-being of our most vulnerable population—our children.
