Federal Lawsuit Accuses Roblox and Discord in 13-Year-Old Kentucky Girl’s Suicide

The complaint by Audree Heine’s mother claims grooming within mass-shooter fan communities on the platforms drove her death.

Overview

Anapol Weiss filed Seitz v. Roblox Corporation and Discord Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky on behalf of Heine’s estate.
The suit alleges exposure to a Roblox-linked True Crime Community that glorizes mass shooters, manipulation on the platform, and continued exploitation through Discord.
Her parents had activated parental controls and believed the apps were safe, but the filing says weak age checks and moderation let predators contact her.
Plaintiffs seek damages including medical and funeral costs and request a jury trial, marking the firm’s 12th civil suit targeting Roblox.
The case tracks broader enforcement as Kentucky’s attorney general sues Roblox and Florida’s attorney general pursues civil action and a criminal probe, while Roblox cites content removals and expanded voice moderation as safety improvements.
