Roblox has now been banned from several countries
Anyone interested should look up Schlep on YouTube (@RealSchlep) or watch this sunmary ("the Predator Catcher who cost Roblox $12.7 billion" @TurkeyTom)

I'm buying my kids a Switch & getting them off it now I know!

I don't allow Roblox at my home, but the kids are allowed to play it at their dad's... who funnily enough is the one that told me originally that Roblox isn't safe. His home, his rules.

I wouldn't let my 3 & 6 year old go out to play without me for an hour due to concerns of who they would meet and safety. So why as parents do we let them play Roblox or go on YouTube unsupervised where they can meet strangers and see things that aren't age appropriate?

A couple of days ago my son clearly described things about Squid Game he learnt from Roblox and also described Freddy Kruger, the mask from Scream and the Chainsaw Massacre guy from a video he watched on YouTube at his dad's. He's been having nightmares... no surprise at 6.

So I remind my kids that different homes have different rules. My eldest has a switch, much easier for me to manage the content and he still gets to game.

I thought you could turn off chat on Roblox, have a parent account, and set a minimum age rating to filter content?

Whataapp is also not as safe as people think. People get added to communities who arent friends with the kids in real life and are the able to access and groom vulnerable kids.
