Children see a game.
Predators see an opportunity.
Recent lawsuits against Roblox, a popular online gaming platform, have brought renewed attention to the importance of online child safety. These lawsuits have highlighted concerns related to grooming, online exploitation, inappropriate content, and contact with strangers. While online games can offer entertainment, creativity, and social connection, they also require active parental involvement and supervision.
Predators often use gaming platforms, chat features, and private messaging to target children and gain their trust. Knowing what games your child plays, who they communicate with, and how they interact online can make a significant difference in keeping them safe.
Have open and ongoing conversations with your child about internet safety. Talk about the difference between appropriate and inappropriate online behavior, encourage them to report anything that makes them uncomfortable, and regularly review privacy and safety settings on the platforms they use.
Stay informed. Stay involved. Keep the conversation going.
