How are they talking to people? My kid either hasn’t figured it out or doesn’t give a shit. But he doesn’t really talk except for IRL friends on discord.
Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits

I don’t allow my kids to play it. It sucks, but the reality is the game has been captured by pedos. I saw too many questionable things when I watched them play. Invariably they will be unsupervised at some point, even for brief periods, so it is not worth the risk.

I think that if a kid can’t read then they are generally safe from the worst of grooming honestly.
I mean, like I said, there were a lot of inappropriate situations I witnessed which made me uncomfortable besides just what was said in chat.
This is why I don’t let my kids play. It wasn’t just the chat.
Also, once a kiddo hits 13 they can voice chat. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what happens next.
For me, personally, it is a hard no. If you supervise your children constantly then it is probably somewhat safe… That is not really reassuring is it?

I came back to Roblox because I was tasked to spy on my brother. Seen shit, reported shit. To be fair, it was probably teens, judging by the behavior, but I really hate Roblox as a company.
