The “Hard-Knock” Vetting Standard-Before You Ever See the File
February 6, 2026 by Mohr Marketing

The “Hard-Knock” Vetting Standard

We use a proprietary 5-step filtration process designed to disqualify 90% of general inquiries, leaving only the cases that survive a Motion to Dismiss.

We don’t just ask “Did your child play?” We investigate the nexus of harm.

What We Verify Before You Ever See the File:

  • ✅ The Predator Contact: We validate direct communication (chat/voice) vs. passive viewing.
  • ✅ The Off-Platform Pivot: We identify the specific pattern of moving victims to Discord, Snapchat, or Instagram—critical for “Failure to Warn” arguments.
  • ✅ Clinical Damages: We prioritize cases with documented therapy, hospitalization, or medical intervention over general “behavioral changes.”
  • ✅ Extortion over Refund: We distinguish between simple consumer fraud and genuine sextortion/coercion.

The Mohr Marketing “Hard-Knock” Vetting Criteria

Hard-Knock” Vetting Questions

These go beyond the basic “Did your child play Roblox?” questions and drill down into the specific liability triggers (grooming, negligence, failure to warn) that make a case compensable in the MDL.

  1. The “Active Grooming” Escalation

Question: “Did the interactions with the alleged predator involve direct communication (chat, voice) that escalated to requests for personal information, photos, or meetings?”

  • Why we ask this: We disqualify leads based solely on “exposure” to inappropriate content. To prove negligence and specific harm, we screen for interactive grooming rather than passive viewing. This separates true victims from general content moderation complaints.
  1. The “Off-Platform” Pivot

Question: “Did the alleged predator attempt to or successfully move the conversation from Roblox to an encrypted or third-party platform (e.g., Discord, Snapchat, Instagram)?”

  • Why we ask this: This is a critical indicator of predator modus operandi. It helps establish the “failure to warn” and “design defect” arguments—that Roblox’s safety features failed to prevent the child from being lured off-site where the abuse escalated.
  1. The “Compensable Damages” Threshold

Question: “Has the child received, or has a medical professional recommended, clinical treatment (therapy, counseling, hospitalization) specifically related to the incident, such as for anxiety, depression, self-harm, or eating disorders?”

  • Why we ask this: This is the hardest knock. We filter out “gaming addiction” (which is harder to litigate) and general parental frustration. We only deliver cases with documented or clinically recommended medical damages, ensuring the case has settlement value.
  1. The “Sextortion” vs. “Spending” Distinction

Question: “If money was lost, was it strictly in-game purchases (Robux), or was financial transactions used as leverage for silence, coercion, or the exchange of explicit material?”

  • Why we ask this: We must separate “Consumer Fraud” (my kid stole my credit card) from “Sexual Exploitation/Extortion.” We instantly disqualify standard refund requests to ensure your docket is filled with high-value personal injury and emotional distress claims.
  1. The “Identity Verification” Check

Question: “Can you provide the specific username of the alleged predator or chat logs/screenshots that corroborate the interaction occurred within the relevant statute of limitations?”

  • Why we ask this: This is an evidence preservation check. While not every parent has this immediately, asking it upfront signals to the lead that this is a serious legal proceeding, not a customer service complaint. It establishes the “seriousness” intent of the plaintiff immediately.

We know that for MDL-3166, the difference between a high-value settlement and a dismissal often comes down to intake discipline.

You are welcome to distribute this checklist to your internal intake staff immediately. It will help them distinguish between “angry parents” (bad leads) and “negligence victims” (compensable cases).

However, if you want to skip the filtering process entirely…

This checklist is the exact framework we use to generate our own signed retainers. At Mohr Marketing, we don’t send you raw data to sift through. We handle the advertising, the screening, and the document signing based on these strict “hard-knock” criteria.

We are currently opening inventory for next month’s campaign blocks. If you are looking for plaintiffs that are highly vetted and qualified, let’s connect.
