Why families are taking action

Snapchat's design has been linked to the sexual exploitation of minors across the United States.

Lawsuits and criminal cases allege that Snapchat's disappearing messages, "Quick Add" recommendations, and limited parental controls have allowed predators to contact, groom, and exploit children — and that internal reports of 10,000 sextortion complaints per month went unaddressed.

Monthly sextortion reports allegedly received by Snap by late 2022

8 States

Attorneys general have filed suit against Snap Inc. since 2024

Who can be held accountable

Snap Inc.

The platform itself may be liable for design choices that allegedly enabled grooming, sextortion, and child sexual abuse material.

Individual perpetrators

The person who committed the abuse can be named as a defendant — even if they were never criminally charged.

Employers & institutions

If the abuser used their position (teacher, coach, clergy, etc.) to access the survivor through Snapchat, that institution may also be liable.

Recoverable Compensation

Survivors may be entitled to substantial financial recovery

In addition to accountability, civil claims allow families to recover for the harm Snapchat allegedly enabled.

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Mental health care, therapy, and medications
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional anguish & psychological harm
  • Lost income and earning capacity
  • Other economic & non-economic damages
