In 2023, a mother called the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center with concerns about her 10-year-old daughter, who she said had been groomed by a man on the popular games platform Roblox.

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.

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.
