Opinion -- Hawley, Durbin Launch Child Sex Abuse Investigation Into Roblox

by Senator Josh Hawley's Office

U.S. Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) sent a letter to Roblox Founder, President, CEO, and Chair of the Board of Directors David Baszucki, informing him that the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism opened an investigation into Roblox. In the letter, Senator Hawley and Senator Durbin called attention to explicit content present on the platform, as well as its connection to real world child abuse. This investigation is only the latest in the series of actions Senator Hawley and Senator Durbin have taken to protect children online, including their STOP CSAM Act passing out of committee unanimously.

They began, "We write to inform you that the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism has opened an investigation into child safety on the Roblox gaming platform."

They continued, "You trumpet Roblox as a safe digital playground for children as young as five. But the public record raises serious questions about this promise of safety. Over the past decade, police have arrested numerous individuals for committing serious acts of violence and harm against children they met via Roblox, including grooming, sexual abuse, kidnapping, rape, and even murder. Roblox is being used to trade child sexual abuse material, participate in sexually explicit (and often violent) virtual 'experiences' with children, bribe and extort children into producing explicit content, and lure children into in-person meetings. It is heartbreaking. In 2025, Roblox reported 65,381 instances of suspected child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children—more than double what it reported in 2024."

"Roblox appears to prioritize revenue and engagement metrics over the safety and well-being of our children, and the alleged criminal activity on Roblox warrants congressional scrutiny. Accordingly, be advised that Roblox is hereby directed to preserve all records, in any format and wherever located, in connection with child safety, child sexual or physical abuse, child bullying, or child financial exploitation ... Let us be clear: children on your platform are hurting. Congress will not look the other way. We await your prompt and complete response," they concluded.

Roblox Corp.

Mr. Baszucki:

We write to inform you that the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism has opened an investigation into child safety on the Roblox gaming platform.

You trumpet Roblox as a safe digital playground for children as young as five. But the public record raises serious questions about this promise of safety. Over the past decade, police have arrested numerous individuals for committing serious acts of violence and harm against children they met via Roblox, including grooming, sexual abuse, kidnapping, rape, and even murder. Roblox is being used to trade child sexual abuse material, participate in sexually explicit (and often violent) virtual “experiences” with children, bribe and extort children into producing explicit content, and lure children into in-person meetings. It is heartbreaking. In 2025, Roblox reported 65,381 instances of suspected child sexual exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children—more than double what it reported in 2024.

Roblox appears to prioritize revenue and engagement metrics over the safety and well-being of our children, and the alleged criminal activity on Roblox warrants congressional scrutiny. Accordingly, be advised that Roblox is hereby directed to preserve all records, in any format and wherever located, in connection with child safety, child sexual or physical abuse, child bullying, or child financial exploitation. We also attach an annex containing document requests and interrogatories. Please produce all documents and information specified in the annex no later than August 31, 2026.

Let us be clear: children on your platform are hurting. Congress will not look the other way. We await your prompt and complete response.

Sincerely,

Josh Hawley

Lois Hackett 1937-2026

Lois Darlene (Dunn) Hackett, age 88 of Maryville, Missouri, formerly of Hopkins, Missouri passed away Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at Village Care Health Center with her family by her side.

 Lois was born October 26, 1937 in Conception Jct., Missouri to Clarence Herbert Dunn and Vivian Marie (Combs) Dunn. 

Lois was a graduate of Horace Mann High School in Maryville.

On November 14, 1959 she married Lloyd Wilbur Hackett.  Lloyd preceded her death in May of 2001. Also preceding her in death were her brother Larry Dunn Sr, sisters Charlotte Combs and Addie Mae Combs.

Three girls were born to this union. Vanessa (Rex) Peter, Skidmore, Missouri, children Bo & Kayl (Jessie) Hansen, and Will Peter, Valerie (Rick) Hartman, Augusta, Kansas, children Jessica and Jared Hartman Vivian (Adam) Riley, Hopkins, Missouri, children Cameron Morrison, Ryan (Morgan) & Lacy Riley, three great grandchildren Preston, Mya, and Lucas Hansen.  Additional members of Lois’s family are her brothers Bob Dunn, Maryville Missouri , James Dunn, Mound City Missouri, Nieces and Nephews.

Lois and Lloyd moved to Spokane, Washington in June of 1961.  All their children were born while they were in Washington, they moved back to Missouri in 1981. 

Lois was a homemaker and all it entailed.  She and Lloyd liked working in the garden and taking care of flowers. With the grateful help of Lloyd, Lois was always canning items from their large garden. Some of her favorite hobbies were crocheting, macroing, and collecting cookbooks. 

In Lois’s later years she took up scrapbooking with her daughters. It was lot’s of fun for a few years, later Lois let it pass on to her daughters.  Lois knew that the love they had enjoyed scrapbooking, the girls would keep scrapbooking their hearts out.

Lois will be missed by her family and all who knew her whether you were her friend or a neighbor.

36 Suicide Prevention Run/Walk Shirts Ordered

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, call 988. The hotline is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 7 days a week. 

Jeremy Baker of the Worth County Suicide Prevention Coalition reported at Wednesday’s regular meeting that he received orders for 36 shirts for the upcoming Suicide Prevention Run/Walk, which will be held Saturday, September 12th with registration starting at 7 am in the school parking lot and the run starting at 7:30 am. Twelve people attended Wednesday’s meeting; it was the most who had attended the meeting since the kickoff meeting several months ago. 

Volunteers are sought for the upcoming run/walk, including for setup, monitoring traffic and runners, helping to shut down roads, and cleanup. Contact Jeremy Baker at (660) 254-5311 if interested.

The Coalition received a $2,500 grant a few months ago to train three people who will train up to 24 others to recognize and act on warning signs of suicide. That will mean that there will be at least 75 people who will be trained to recognize such signs when the training is done. One person who will take the training, Sheena Fletchall, attended the meeting and showed a care package she is putting together for people who are struggling with mental health issues, something she does. She takes donations of items that people no longer need that could be included in such care packages. The Coalition voted to approve the expense to train Ms. Fletchall. She said she had gotten a lot of interest in Nodaway County about training people in schools about suicide awareness.

Completing the training gives one a three-year certification to train others in suicide awareness. It is renewable for $100 at the end of the three-year period. 

Rachel Brown talked about how the Harrison County coalition puts together care packages for people and gives out gun locks.

Grace Englehart of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reported that there are many free videos on suicide prevention in Missouri. She said she would send resources to the coalition. 

Groundwork was laid for the Suicide Prevention event, including the run/walk as well as a breakfast to be held afterwards. It will tentatively include information about the coalition, door prizes, and a suicide prevention training. 

Plans were made for possible activities after the event is over, including possibly sending cards to people around the county. Josh Kollitz said he had a lot of cards on hand. Mr. Kollitz invited the coalition to the Worth County Fall Carnival, which is being held the week after, on September 19th. 

Jeremy Baker reported that he had distributed 1,300 gun locks in the area. He has 200 left. 

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 10th at 5:00 pm at the Worth County Community Church (formerly the United Methodist Church). 

Volunteers Sought for Nodaway County Zoning Planning Committee

Volunteers are being sought for a Zoning Planning Committee for Nodaway County, which is looking into zoning as part of its data center moratorium. The committee would be advisory in nature regarding zoning for the county. "We need someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight who can help us with research," said Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker. Interested parties can contact the Nodaway County Commission at nodawaycom@gmail.com.

Along with the proposed data center south of Maryville, there was discussion about the construction in that area. Susie Strauch said that especially with the unmowed side and one lane of traffic at Route 71 and 340th Road, "It's a disaster waiting to happen." "Trucks now have to cut across two lanes of traffic," added Commissioner Scott Walk. There is a similar situation with the interchange between Route 71 south and I-29 south. Motorists have to enter from the left side of the road and cut across two lanes of traffic that is doing 75 mph to get to the right side of the road. While the DOT has lengthened the entry lane, it is still a hazard.

Jeff From said that he went through the representations Scale Microgrids made on the proposed project and the representations made in the permit application for the power generator portion of the project with the Missouri DNR and found 22 discrepancies. "What the developer is saying and what is on the permit application is two different things," said Mr. From. 

Presiding Commissioner Bill Walker, in response to another question, said the commission would seek to talk to the attorney that day about zoning. "This is a large county and we don't need to be covered in data centers," said Rhonda Beatty.

Commissioner Scott Walk, who is on the state board of the Missouri Association of Counties and who was absent Tuesday, August 11th to attend a board meeting, said that data centers were a main topic of conversation both at the state level and at the national level. He invited State Representative Jeff Farnan to come to a commission meeting to hear out constituents. That led Scott Wilson to say, "You don't need Jeff Farnan or [State Senator] Rusty Black's permission to move forward with this. This is your project." Mr. Walk said that the commissioners read everything that people send them, including Mr. From's latest correspondence. 

Holly Caviness asked about monitoring emissions from the facility. Commissioner Walk said that the DNR monitors emissions from such facilities on a daily basis and that they keep records. All documents by public bodies are subject to document requests under the Missouri Sunshine Law. 

Commissioner Walk explained the zoning process and how it works. Zoning would only cover the unincorporated areas of the county. It would not cover, say, Maryville or Ravenwood, which have their own city councils and enforcement. Zoning would cover land use permits such as CAFO's and data centers.
