Roblox counts 28 clicks, 21 of them purchases, as an eight-year-old's waiver

Twenty-one of the 28 events Roblox counts are money moving: 19 purchases of Robux and two uses or redemptions of gift cards ^[3]. The remaining seven are the account creation itself and six acceptances of updated Terms of Use ^[3][4]. The consent record was assembled mostly at the till, by a store flow, not by an onboarding screen anyone would call a contract ceremony.

According to the complaint, Audree began using Roblox and Discord at eight ^[6]. Spread across the years between that and her death, the 28 events work out to roughly one act of assent every two months ^[20], and most of them are a child topping up virtual currency.

Roblox's attorneys wrote that "Roblox made the Terms plain and Audree repeatedly manifested her assent" ^[10]. Jaimee Seitz's answer is that presentation was never the question: "She was a child, she didn't understand arbitration," she said, adding that her daughter did not understand contracts or what accepting the terms could mean years later ^[9]. The two arguments do not meet. One is about the quality of the disclosure, the other about whether the person reading it could be bound by anything at all.

The underlying allegation is that Audree encountered, through Roblox, an online community glorifying violence, self-harm and mass shooters, and that the contact continued on Discord ^[17]. Seitz says she had placed parental controls on the accounts and believed the platforms' safety measures would protect her daughter ^[18].

Discord says its terms require users to be at least 13, and that it uses technology and trained safety teams to identify and remove content that breaks its policies ^[13]. Its arbitration defense therefore runs on clicks from an account that, on its own reading of the registration, was never permitted ^[12].

The arithmetic is happening while Roblox answers to Congress. On August 13, Senators Josh Hawley and Dick Durbin said the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism had opened an investigation into child safety on the platform, citing 65,381 reports of suspected child sexual exploitation that Roblox sent to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in 2025, and ordered the company to preserve child-safety records ^[16]. TikTok, added as a defendant after the original October 2025 complaint against Roblox and Discord ^[19], argues its platform did not "proximately cause" the death ^[14].

For anyone shipping a consumer product with children in it, the instructive part is what the filing treats as its best material: a tally of screens the product showed a young account, and a purchase log that made the tally possible.
