Roblox themselves are currently policing the issue and do have parental control settings on the games – but as parents, we do need to be aware and understand what content kids could potentially be exposed to. There are people who are going out of their way to game the systems,” the BBC quoted Larry Magid, president of ConnectSafely – a non-profit organization that raises awareness about child safety online. However, threat actors determined to abuse the system can still slip through the net.
