Harms & Injuries Alleged

• Psychological: PTSD, anxiety, depression, panic, sleep disturbance, school avoidance;
• Behavioral/educational: declines in grades, social withdrawal, loss of extracurriculars;
• Physical: self-harm, eating/sleep issues; attempted assault or assault tied to offline meetings;
• Economic: therapy costs, specialized treatment, parental work disruption;
• Punitive exposure: alleged reckless disregard for child safety and misleading safety marketing.

Settlement Outlook & Key Value Drivers

While global settlements have not been announced, similar tech/platform cases suggest substantial value for well-documented claims. Key drivers:

• Severity & corroboration: saved chats, platform reports, law-enforcement records, expert diagnosis;
• Platform knowledge: prior complaints, moderation gaps, unsafe features, age-gating failures;
• Causation strength: clear link between platform interactions and harm (grooming-to-offline attempt);
• Age & prognosis: younger victims and long-term therapy needs increase case value;
• Venue & statutes: jurisdictions with child-protection and revival laws may enhance claims.

Educational only — individual outcomes depend on facts and law.

Deadlines to File (Statutes of Limitations)

Most states extend or “toll” deadlines for child victims, with additional revival windows in some jurisdictions. Evidence preservation (chat logs, device backups) should begin immediately. Speak with an attorney promptly to preserve rights.
