A Somerset County mother has taken legal action against some of the biggest names in the video game industry, alleging their products have caused serious harm to her child.
According to WGME 13, The lawsuit names the makers of Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft, claiming the companies ignored “known risks” of addictive behavior in minors.
Concerns about video game addiction have grown in recent years, with health experts warning about excessive screen time and its potential impact on mental health, sleep patterns, and academic performance in children.
For the Somerset County mother at the center of the lawsuit, the issue is deeply personal.
Her court filing suggests that what began as a source of entertainment for her young child has turned into an ongoing struggle with video game dependency and one she believes could have been prevented with stronger industry oversight.
