![]() They’re strangers and they can be dangerous. And they think ‘this person is nice to me online, so he’s my friend.’ But we need to tell kids that this isn’t true. Kids are looking for an escape into another world, and they meet people. They said the guy who did this, he was able to wipe all his data. They let our son know it wasn’t his fault. We felt helpless, it really is every parent’s nightmare. It was just traumatic, so unexpected, we thought we should have seen it happening, that we should have known, or been there to protect him. You know, just horrific stuff, things I haven’t ever seen in my life. He had been dragged into it by one of these predators. That’s how we found the messages, pictures, videos – the things that were sent to him, what he was asked to do. We came home one night and the laptop was sitting there. We caught him lying a couple of times, he was avoiding our eyes, his personality changed. We started noticing he was going over his time, you know, the laptop started moving out of our view. But the thing is, some of these games don’t have parental controls. ![]() After school he had a couple hours for homework, then an hour for video games. And child predators are going to go where children are. But the stories are very clever, seductive even, they suck kids in. Parents assume they’re safe…it’s for kids. These online video games seem fun and harmless, some even look like old arcade games. This parent’s child became the victim of an online predator while playing Roblox, please make sure your family is not the next one to suffer from this horrific abuse. Knowing what makes an online game or app dangerous allows parents to identify the dangers and to empower their children to protect themselves in the online environment. ![]() Parents everywhere are struggling to keep up with technology. This is based on a real case and is the second in a series of three. Note: don’t let your child play story or horror games, and Make sure your kid is smart enough not to play bad looking games.Child Rescue Coalition is proud to have collaborated with the UK Border Force to produce this awareness raising video from the perspective of a parent. Before I end this review, I just wanna say a few games you child can get started with: Also you may notice something called robux, and this is basically an in-game curreńcy that lets you get game passes for games and make your in game character, the downfall with this is the fact that you buy Robux with real money and this could lead to your child spending tons of money just for an avatar. Roblox games can also have groups that are basically where the owner can announce updates and people can talk to each other like the chat, and I would recommend not letting your child visit these in game groups, because people can scam and say you get free moneÿ for clicking a virus. And don’t let your child play random games just because it says nine plus or all ages, because they can have unrealistic blood and sometimes violence, so always make sure the game isn’t bad by clicking on the game scrolling through the description until you see the age rating and what is in the game. I would also recommend going to the parental controls and making it so your child can only play games Nine and older because you probably don’t want your child playing 13 plus games. This is because chat can expose people to profanity (if someone bypasses it) and Rude people, so definitely make sure to turn it off. Simply press the Cog on the top right of your screen and click settings, then go to Privacy and click “who can chat with me?” And turn it to no one. First, you have to create an account, basically just put in your Emáil and create a Username and password and then you can Jump In! You will be greeted with THOUSANDS of user generated experiences and before you let your child dig in, you have to visit the settings first. ROBLOX is lots of things like Exploration, combat, parkour, RolePlay, and SO much more! Now allow me to explain how ROBLOX is like. But the thing is, it’s so creative to the fact that people can make some pretty horrible stuff on it, for example people have made games with EXTREME violence and scary imagery, but before you stop reading this and scream at your child for even asking there is actually ways to avoid the bad and enjoy the good stuff cause after all, it’s not a video game. ROBLOX is a PlatForm about exploration creativity and imagination. This review is not by an adult but please take your time to read it… seriously.
