Roblox Is a Predator Playground: 764 Network Groomers Are Coming for Your Children
Multiple state attorneys general and dozens of families have sued Roblox as the 764 predator network grooms children on the platform.
Roblox Sued by Multiple States as 764 Network Predators Target 50 Million Children on the Platform
Roblox, the massively popular online gaming platform with approximately 144 million daily active users, is under siege from lawsuits across America. Between 35 and 40 percent of those users are children under 13, meaning roughly 50 million young children log in every single day.
The 764 network, described by Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers as a "massive, worldwide cult of nihilistic violent extremists," has been using Roblox to find and groom vulnerable children. Predators initiate contact through in game chats and friend requests, then move conversations to private channels where exploitation escalates.
In November 2025, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit, accusing Roblox of prioritizing "pixel pedophiles and corporate profit" over child safety. A Texas judge ruled in March 2026 that core claims about deceptive practices can proceed to trial.
On March 4, 2026, Nebraska became the latest state to take legal action. Hilgers' complaint cites the devastating case of a 16 year old girl who died by suicide after prolonged grooming by an individual she first encountered on Roblox who was connected to the 764 network.
There may be "no bigger online playground for predators in the entire world" than Roblox.

Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, Iowa, and Los Angeles County have also filed actions against the platform. Over 130 cases are now consolidated in multidistrict litigation in California, with more than 132 pending lawsuits in federal court.
The FBI has opened 250 investigations tied to the 764 network, which uses gaming platforms to coerce children into producing explicit material and self harm videos. Despite Roblox implementing mandatory age verification and chat restrictions on January 1, 2026, the system immediately showed flaws, identifying some children as adults and vice versa.
State Attorneys General Unite Against Roblox Over Massive Child Exploitation Failures
Attorney and child safety advocate Wendy Yurgo urges parents to take immediate action: create and link parent accounts to children's profiles, lock down privacy settings, restrict contacts, and disable or limit chat functions. Parents should regularly review their children's friends lists and messages, and monitor for behavioral changes including withdrawal, secrecy, or anxiety around their devices.
The Crusader's Opinion
Fifty million children under 13 are logging into a platform that the FBI itself says is a hunting ground for violent extremists. Fifty million. And these tech executives had the audacity to market Roblox as a safe, creative space for kids while predators were grooming children into self harm and suicide. This is not a glitch in the system. This is the system. When corporate profit is placed above the lives of children, we are witnessing something profoundly evil. Every parent in every pew needs to hear this warning on Sunday morning. Our children are not content to be monetized. They are souls entrusted to our care by God Himself, and we will answer for how we protected them.
