Perform examinations driven by tangible visual elements your jury will remember. Create a theme grid—the world of discovery at your fingertips. Tell the story by utilizing everything: public information, media, video—don’t limit yourself to corporate production.

Online child sexual predation is a growing epidemic in this country. And Roblox has played a huge role in fueling the crisis. The company heavily markets its app as safe and appropriate for kids—but the reality is far different. Roblox’s design allows pedophiles to identify, target, and groom kids with ease.  Predators can misrepresent their ages, masquerade as children, and use the app’s games to “befriend” and communicate with young players. “Robux,” the app’s online currency, also provides a powerful tool for predators to coerce kids into providing information, sending explicit images, and meeting up in person.  Often, predators also use encrypted or ephemeral messaging apps like Discord or Snap to get at these kids, and these apps only escalate the danger. This session will address the growing efforts by families to hold Roblox and other Big Tech players accountable for the harm their actions have caused kids.  Come learn about the status of more than 25 cases now filed in federal and state courts across the country as well as our firms’ plans to continue this important fight for online child safety.
