Who Is 'Sadkid246?'
Back in June 2023, a shocking video purportedly recorded by a Roblox player went viral on TikTok to the tune of over 3.1 million views.

The video quickly spread across social media and garnered a lot of attention from Roblox fans.
Some people started using it as a very dark meme, while others showed concern for Sadkid246. These memes include videos that reference the video and allude to his being beaten with a belt, versions of the video with captions like "bro's never gonna steal mommy's credit card again" and videos that use the screaming sounds in an ironic fashion.

As the video continued to spread, rumors about Sadkid246 started popping up in the comment sections. Some of the most popular rumors claim that his mother was arrested after this video, that Sadkid246 ended up dead or in a coma after the incident and that he was being beaten because he used his mom's credit card to buy Robux (the in-game currency).
None of these, however, have been confirmed.
The video has also inspired a ton of Roblox Experiences referencing Sadkid246, including memorials and horror games that look to turn the story into a creepypasta. So is the video real?
