Ethan Dallas was targeted by an adult sexual predator on Roblox when he was 12, and later on Discord, according to a lawsuit. He took his own life last year.
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 groomed and coerced to send explicit images on the apps.
Rebecca Dallas filed the lawsuit Friday in San Francisco County Superior Court, accusing the companies of “recklessly and deceptively operating their business in a way that led to the sexual exploitation and suicide” of Ethan Dallas.
Why not sue the Internet itself? Or whomever made the keyboard and screen and mouse that enabled all of it??
What happened was awful. I do not see how those companies are “at fault” though
There are Discord servers dedicated to manipulating minors
Because if it’s not someone else’s fault, then it’s the parents fault for not paying attention to their kid. So they are going to need it to be someone else’s fault.
