A California man has been arrested for abducting a 10-year-old child he reportedly met on social media apps Roblox and Discord, authorities said Wednesday.

"Roblox is simply not doing enough to protect our kids, to inform parents, and to go after child predators. As you know, I am leading the fight for the full release of the Epstein files.

Louisiana sued the online gaming platform Roblox on Thursday, alleging the wildly popular site has perpetuated an environment where sexual predators “thrive, unite, hunt and victimize kids.” ...

The lawsuits allege that Roblox prioritized its profits over child safety. The gaming platform rebuts claims it would intentionally risk the safety of its users.

A 10-year-old girl was kidnapped by a man who messaged her on Roblox and Discord. She was found hundreds of miles from her home the next day.

There is no minimum age for using Roblox, but the popular gaming platform, with nearly 112 million daily users, has sought to expand parent controls for players under 13.
