Online platform Roblox and communications app Discord have been sued by the father of a 10-year-old girl for “recklessly and deceptively operating businesses” in a manner that allegedly led to the child’s kidnapping, according to an Aug. 5 lawsuit filed at the Superior Court of San Mateo, California.
The girl, referred to as Jane Doe, was an “avid user” of Roblox and Discord for several years. Her reliance on these apps for entertainment and social interaction made her a “prime target for the countless child predators that Defendants knew were freely roaming the app looking for vulnerable children,” the complaint said. The girl is a resident of Kern County, California.
