Knowledge Is the First Line of Defense
Roblox is a creative platform that millions of children use daily—but it’s also a space where predators have found ways to exploit young users. At Rafferty Domnick Cunningham & Yaffa, we’ve seen too many cases where a simple online interaction turned into something dangerous. While our legal team fights for justice in the courts, we also want parents to have the tools they need to protect their children right now.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Parents are often the first to notice when something isn’t right. Some red flags include:
- New “friends” your child won’t talk about.
- Requests to move conversations off Roblox (to Discord, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc.).
- Unexplained Robux purchases or gifts.
- Secrecy around playtime, like quickly switching screens or hiding chats.
- Mood changes such as withdrawal, anxiety, or sudden anger after playing.
If you see these signs, it’s important to step in early and open a conversation.
How to Use Roblox’s Safety Settings
Roblox offers tools for parental oversight, but many families don’t know how to use them effectively. Key steps include:
- Restrict Who Can Contact Your Child
- In account settings, limit who can send messages, join games, or send friend requests.
- Enable Parental PINs
- Lock down privacy and security settings with a PIN only you know.
- Monitor Friends and Groups
- Regularly review your child’s friends list and the groups they join.
- Filter Chat
- Use Roblox’s settings to restrict who can chat with your child.
- Check Purchase History
- Keep an eye on Robux transactions, which may reveal predator influence.
Practical Tips for Parents
Technology alone isn’t enough. Open communication is key. Consider these steps:
- Talk Early and Often: Start conversations about online risks before problems arise.
- Encourage Openness: Let your child know they won’t be punished for telling you if something feels wrong.
- Set Boundaries: Establish rules about friend requests, online chats, and screen time.
- Stay Involved: Take time to play Roblox with your child—it’s one of the best ways to understand what they’re experiencing.
- Use External Tools: Consider parental control apps that monitor chats across multiple platforms.
Where to Turn if Something Happens
If you believe your child has been targeted:
- Document Everything: Save screenshots, chats, and transaction records.
- Report Through Roblox: Use the in-platform reporting tools to flag accounts and messages.
- Contact Law Enforcement: If you believe your child is in danger, call local authorities immediately.
- Seek Legal Guidance: An attorney experienced in child exploitation cases can explain your options and help protect your child’s rights.
At RDCY, we understand how difficult these situations are. Our attorneys are available for confidential consultations to support families and explore legal remedies.
