Roblox, Discord sued after 13-year-old girl dies by suicide

A new lawsuit alleges that Roblox and Discord are culpable in failing to protect a 13-year-old girl who died by suicide.

The lawsuit filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Covington Division, by Jaimee Seitz, claims that the apps Discord and Roblox were responsible for her daughter Audree Heine's suicide.

The complaint maintains that Heine was pushed to suicide by "an online community dedicated to glorifying violence and emulating notorious mass shooters, a community that can thrive and prey upon young children like Audree only because of Defendants' egregiously tortious conduct."

I grew up gaming on PC, Atari, etc.. and still do game from time to time.

When he was younger, I used to game with my grandson all the time. He mainly played Fortnite but also Roblox some.

Was I monitoring him? Yes. Was I guiding him on chats, online places and online people to stay away from? Yes. Was I also having fun and bonding with him? Yes.

Even you don't like gaming, I promise you'll live through sitting with your little one through a few rounds of Roblox or Fortnite.
