The parents of 16-month-old Maddy Mitchell have filed a lawsuit against former day care worker Alexandra Coffey, alleging gross negligence led to their daughter's suffocation on her first day at the facility. Coffey faces ongoing involuntary manslaughter charges from the May 19, 2025, incident at Creative Beginnings in Lenoir, North Carolina. The suit claims Coffey lay on the child while using her phone.
A jury in New Mexico ruled Meta liable for violating the state's consumer protection laws, ordering the company to pay a $375 million penalty. The verdict stems from allegations that Meta misled users about platform safety amid child exploitation risks. Meta plans to appeal the decision.

Three young girls from Tennessee and their guardians have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI, accusing the company of designing its Grok AI to produce child sexual abuse material from real photos. The suit stems from a Discord tip that led to a police investigation linking Grok to explicit images of the victims. They seek an injunction and damages for thousands of potentially harmed minors.
Discord announced it will default all accounts to a teen-appropriate experience starting in early March, requiring age verification to access adult content and restricted servers. The move aims to enhance child safety but has sparked backlash over privacy concerns following a recent data breach. Verification options include on-device facial estimation or submitting government IDs.
