The plaintiff’s allege that Q.R.'s mother installed filters on his personal devices, but claim the minor was still able to access adult sites using an old laptop in his mother’s closet which did not have a filter installed.
Over a period of several months, he allegedly accessed adult sites more than 175 times. The lawsuit claims that adult sites are liable for damages of approximately $75,000 for time Q.R. visited a site. While Kansas law provides statutory damages of $50,000 for violations of the law, plaintiffs are asking for additional damages citing “pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement and mental anguish,” “psychological injury,” “past and future loss of enjoyment and pleasure of living,” and “past and future necessary medical expenses.” |
