[@gebhardscherrer9086]

I recommend even if your kid is 13 do not set the age to 13 because there are some games like resident massacre, Chain, neighborhood war and blood overhaul that I think should be rated 16 because people get amputated, shot and disemboweled because the 18+ rated games are bar games or games with extremely realistic violence like brutal battlegrounds so just set the rating to 10

[@randompersonh]

I am currently a sophomore in high school, and I've played Roblox since I was 7 years old. Until I was 10, my entire chat feature was turned off, but this was way before the age guidelines came out. Be careful, as Roblox has just introduced 17+ games, mostly for gore. Realistically violent games are sort of easy to find, if your account is 13+. Use the safety guidelines feature for elementary kids. There are way more now, but just know, your child will access things they aren't supposed to see some day.

[@MeMe-nu5wr]

I’ve been playing Roblox for about 7 years now. I can tell you the game used to be terrible at making sure nothings bad, but now over the years they had gotten more moderators so it’s safe to an extent but even in the moderators don’t completely moderate all the stuff. That’s what you use the settings.Through my little experience on Roblox is a fun game. I even played games with my mom on there it was a cool bonding experience. I’ve never seen my mom play a game and she was actually better than me at the game.😆

Predators are online. Roblox is online. how do you turn off sexual acts simulations?? and yes it did happened. I bought my kids a switch so he can play offline games. We are still in that stage to go completely offline. The easiest way is to give our kids the attention they need from us. Yes, it's hard bc parents are just forever busy or on our damn phones. Let's just be honest here. The goal is to discover offline games that the kid and the family can have fun playing.

[@Mittenzi]

But the nintendo switch has online games as well

[@TheGamecoin]

Dude you know you should check the age rating on the game You are buying for your child And make sure it’s safe for your child instead of being lazy You can’t interact with predators on Nintendo switch online plus Nintendo switch parental controls is a thing to keep your child safe from any harmful content that may effect your child and the their brain

So about talking to strangers on Roblox if you know they are trying to do something wrong bad or scammers you can always mute or block them

[@miriamdavis2988]

My 7 year old told me yesterday that a player (avitar) picked up her avitar and carried her around. Then she said he put an umbrella up and the talking box said kissinflg kissing. It scared her and she cried. I know its not major but up to that point she had never experienced anything like that. I had a talk with her about it.

Idk if your kids are still kids and may have more insight on this: can Roblox be play offline? Like story mode? Thanks

It's not just the game, it extends to the videos showing the game and the various stories based on the game. Roblox in general is a very offensive product.

As a kid who has parents who never see what I'm doing online I can confirm that is not safe i dont even know how i learned all he dangers of this platform ALONE so see what your son is playing

I've been playing roblox for FIVE YEARS and I've been bullied only like two times. There were no predators like many people warn about, only the occasional weird player who is probably weird ironically. I honestly don't know why roblox is targeted more by parents than other games like minecraft.

Awesome tips especially about the age. We may not want to give out our kids age so putting in ours could expose them to a lot more dangers. Having a fake set age for your kid accounts should help. Thank you for this, as I watched it with my daughter. She and I both loved it

Cringe

[@mlue618]

No, your age isn't publicly displayed to anyone else on Roblox. If you're birthday/age is younger than 13, then more things that you and others say will get censored/tagged, that's really the only difference. I guess maybe some games with a little more guns and stuff mighttttt not be available? Overall its a kid friendly and lighthearted game.

[@mlue618]

Also what? What do you mean make fake names???? Nobody is gonna be able to find them just by their name... my name is Lea Kim, like search it up, you won't find anything about me. Fake names would just be uneccesary.

Yess, all parents, and kids should understand online safety to keep games safer. Some families have no trouble with Roblox and others have a lot, but either way knowing how to protect them hackers, scams, predators, or whatever is good for all to know as you said.

Coming at this from a developer viewpoint, Roblox is a buggy mess that i spent more time troubleshooting than playing. From a parental viewpoint, Roblox is scary. We locked down the parental controls as tight as we could when our small kiddos wanted to try it and everyday there were new games (e for everyone) featuring guns, bloody monsters, etc... no idea how roblox hasn't been sued to oblivion

[@marierika2012]

Lately, my kid 7yr old likes the roblox tutorials and videos. I watch with her and some of the language is not appropriate.

I been around since the start of online gaming and it has got way better then in my day. Yes there are dangers but kids play Roblox for the most part and my kids know the dangers. The internet isn't a safe place ever even for adults. Do your self a favor and get your family a VPN on your network

[@taylorswiftfan-gf4ir]

Roblox is a good game and innocent for kids but PLEASE DO NOT LET THEM PLAY A GAME CALLED BROOKHAVEN. It’s just so bad I can’t even explain.

I experience it a lot

That’s a HUGE problem for many games. After a certain age, there aren’t certain parental controls which makes sense in general but it doesn’t work for every family.

[@elliotelliotelliotel]

To any parent considering letting your kids play Roblox I highly recommend watching the two Roblox Investigation videos by the KZbin channel People Make Games, it goes all in on Roblox's shady business practices and how its possible to be mistreated on the platform. As someone who's been playing Roblox since 2015 I do think the platform can absolutely be fun and safe IF you're careful, as is the case with many things online. As someone who definitely believes kids should have freedom to explore the web within reason, Roblox is one of those things you need to have a safety chat about covering all sorts of topics on the platform such as the digital item market that could be compared to gambling, and how to not be exploited under Roblox's exploitative systems.

[@CyberFareedah]

Thank you so much for your valuable input! It's appreciated especially in a topic that's so vast. Like you said, it's so important that we're about to enjoy these platforms AND stay safe.

[@ya_datboy9921]

There is many ways to stay safe. I’ve also played ROBLOX for a while. And there are settings and things. And Roblox has shady business practices? If you are a parent there are so many ways to keep your child safe. And Roblox already helps with that with safe chat and what not.

Never be like that parent but do not be over protective when they are the internet alright but you still have to watch them if they are underage and follow your rules about video game time and they break one of those rules you have every need to ground for breaking one them a rule list is a really responsible and very great idea as well Roblox is safe When you are a responsible parent

[@hebrews11vs5]

I see my son (6) finding lots of games with guns. ( within rblx of course) you shoot each other. The weight lifting simulators are interesting as well, because the more you stare at the screen, the bigger your character gets and the easier it is to hurt other players when you bully and fight them. Hide and seek, meep city and adopt me seem to be the only fun ones in my opinion. And lots of obbies are also harmless. An obie is simply an obstacle course. Think like a puzzle of sorts. Simulators is how kids learn to interact with other people. Like through the chat. They can bully and if they don't like the other person or what they are doing, they can always punch or shoot them so that the other character dies or respawns. I got my eye on this roblox. Remember doom? I think it was a game popular with some boys from a school called Columbine in 1999...

[@AImwadstorys]

Honestly for everyone watching Roblox isn't gonna do anything and your kids will have to learn the hard way, I've been in this game for awhile (6 years) I may not know everything but I know most than these kids people hack items from kids for money or virtual currency or just to keep the items people sell the stolen items for real life money and to get the robux currency in the game there's ways on other apps that allow you to get hacked in 2 clicks or a link that looks super similar to a real Roblox website like replacing WWW with VVV I feel like this game has fell off honestly also the community is so toxic. The chat filter is easily bypassed give teenagers and kids a competitive game or they die they start talking trash because the moderation sucks they keep doing it Roblox will never be a safe place for your kids people will be roasting and arguing in the chat no matter what age online daters you name it it's in this game in the most kid friendly games it's not kid friendly the main problem is the games are safe but the community SUCKS

People gettting into your ROBLOX account is nothing to be worried over. Its nearly impossible to do it without the roblox cookie that has your password or your password. You can't even say in roblox "My password is..." So getting hacked shouldn't be worried about with young children.

[@CyberFareedah]

I wish I could agree but there are so many ways a Roblox account can be hacked without sharing a password in an in-game chat. But I would say worrying isn't the solution, the solution is learning how to protect all accounts regardless of its type.

I started to investigate and found that the only thing that had changed was her playing this game game, i'm a 27 year old young mother, i've always loved games and never been boring with these things but honestly this game is for 16 year olds no less. Today in Brazil, my home country, a boy sh*ot his parents to de*th because they forbade him to play this game, it is the responsibility of parents to coordinate the time their children spend on the internet and what they are doing, but society also does not help parents In this difficult task, it takes a whole village to raise a child, so the child will never be raised only by the parents, we need to protect the children.

[@tictacdogez]

as someone who's played roblox since I was nine, at still plays at 14 (mind my profile picture, I selected something random and funny) so anywho, I've been playing for around 5 years and this game is NOT safe for children, as a child myself, this game is safe if you're 1 - 7years old, you simply cannot read and really understand people at that age, just be wary that roblox is extremely addictive.

[@tictacdogez]

the reason roblox is so addictive is that it's not just one game, it's multiple, so when you get bored of one roblox game, boom, just switch to another.. then another.. then another.. then another. it simply dosent get boring

[@tictacdogez]

but in any case, this game is EXTREMELY dangerous, when I was 12, I ended up meeting a girl on roblox, her name was Amy, we talked a bit and ended up bypassing the roblox filter and gave eachother our social medias. we were in a stupid online relationship for about 4 months, I never called her, never FaceTimed her, or never sent her a video of me, while she always called me and showed me her face it was very clear she was 12. but she had no evidence I was 12 myself. she just trusted me, i could've groomed her and done some serious damage if I were a 60 year old man, she wouldnt know, we ended up breaking up over an argument I can't remember, but it's insane how we completely bypassed robloxs "safe filter" so flawlessly. this game isn't safe for vulnerable kids.

Recent research showed that playing video games more than 2 hours per day causes brain damage.. kids need to be spending their time learning and socializing and helping with house chores.. if they have spare time they need to have real hobbies and sport, learning about this game has zero benefit and tremendous danger.. it doesn’t take more than couple of minutes to loss a child .. why risk your kids?

[@Insanit_y]

its not safe, roblox already posted about allowing swearing so I recommended that this be updated that anyone that is above the age of 12+ can play now.

[@elizabethbehannon7281]

so im a kid but a boy is trying to do bad things and i tell him no

[@CyberFareedah]

That's a difficult place to be in and I'm happy you're honoring your boundaries

[@WaterfelonFeline]

Report him to the police

[@trulyphenomenal08]

im a pre-teen and my parents only care about my play time. they dont worry that much about safety nowadays because i respond that most of the time its brainwashed parents making something look true. like a parent wrote an article saying that obby games are bad for kids.. what

[@trulyphenomenal08]

and i watch roblox youtubers that post news. so i dont fall for scams and avoid popular games and public servers to avoid getting bullied and get doxxed in the chat (my sister acc got compromised before but she got it back in 2 hours)

It's for kids anymore they have adult bands events etc and more adult stuff. They said it's now everyone's virtual world and will be the first virtual world to replace everything.. It's not safe for kids anymore what I have seen is disgusting moderatitions is horrible it should be 13= iv been harassed by old men as a minor and I have been bullied there's fighting and hate speech in games so if your kids are 13+ yes but not under you can use parent controls if they are 7+ but under no, there's a reason.

[@aname7870]

Roblox moderation is honestly horrible now it's not their fault completely but if you don't want your child being exposed to certain language I would recommend either turn off the chat feature or have a conversation with them about anything they hear and help them understand it (depends on the age though).

[@Bald_Bepp]

But can people track your location from out Roblox

[@CyberFareedah]

if you click on a bad link or engage with something of that nature, then sure. Most likely the bad side will be trading scams/other scams, bullying, or grooming.

[@bootlegmew6022]

I been playing roblox for 3 years and just quit a month or 2 ago And About Almost Everyone is Very Rude and inappropriate and Roblox let kids Gamble for virtual pets and stuff. There’s someone that is selling almost 20k Robux just for Huge Virtual Pet and 5% for a rainbow I feel safer playing on my Gameboy Advance than roblox..

[@ZuriVoid]

My mom dosent let me play roblox! I just want to play it :(

[@CyberFareedah]

Hopefully you can soon! If not, you can always make a list of games you want to play when you're older and can make your own decision. Make it a gift to yourself once you complete High School. That's what I did lol!

[@lucassoden]

roblox infact IS safe. 1. If you try to curse it will detect and put ### as well as other stuff like inappropriate words. w.Players can choose an age minimum for their game, roblox will ask for your age so if you put 4 May 2000 and its rated 30+ (won't happen but for example.) it won't let you join. 3. Decals or inappropriate clothing will get taken down by roblox. 4. you CAN have controls on your child's account, making them unable to chat, join certain games, etc.. So Roblox is originally and always designed for kids. Now, you have to be aware, put a family link, screen time etc, and ask to buy so they don't buy anything without your permission. MEANING if your child bought 20 dollars worth of roblox its not their fault.

[@germzillaofficial]

Yes. It is remotely safe. But there are some games that have explicit content. Unfortunately, These games can slip through the radar because of Roblox’s poor security. Also, there is a filter that you can turn off chat.

[@mcd4039]

Lol explicit games can slip through the radar yet roblox allows the worst role playing and allows users to ban one another. Trash game. Lol AI is so ‘intelligent’ to allow its motives

[@chuckybigfan3151]

Now I know what’s wrong with being a kid on roblox

[@OneNationSoul]

In this game, there are sick adult men who target children, invite them to closed places in the game, and lure them to communicate with them and communicate via Snapchat, Telegram and other applications, and ask them to give them the credit card numbers of the parents, and also lure the children into groups in the Telegram, they publish pornographic films to lure them, and then ask the children to take pictures of themselves naked, after which they blackmail them into fulfilling their requests. Keep your kids away from this game!

[@amberbradley1731]

So true!!!!!!!!

[@TheGamecoin]

Maybe you need better parenting skills You can watch what your child does online plus it’s an online game where you can playing with other people did you seriously think your child would be playing with robots there’s a reason why it’s called online games and roblox censors out words that are not allowed to be said in the game Act like a fucking parent and don’t be stupid You Want your child to have fun right then let them play

[@TheGamecoin]

And Also parental controls exist

[@DustySiren]

if you are concerned about roblox, then it's probably best you just don't let your kids on the internet

[@Mittenzi]

[@dagdagkitaph]

I am saying this guys! It is not safe!!! I am here because i just found out something, those hackers and predators. Now, i am miserable father for not checking my kid's accounts. I am banning roblox in my household.

[@itshoneyluv]

Well i loved the tips! Since im a Roblox content creater or begging to make Roblox videos i would say it depends cause the bad side is that they are hackers,Online daters,Scammers And the bright side if that you could have free vip server to prevent predators and could really meet nice people even doe they might be fake the security sistem is awful they are trying to fix it right now but you could easily get into a account by a web and hijacking happens a lot the hackers get links and the victem touches the link and all of their information is spread around I personally dont wanna make a lot of friends on roblox and play in vip server cause i would say is safe. But Tysm for the tips!

[@CyberFareedah]

My pleasure! I'm happy you loved the tips! That's the thing with the internet...as soon as you turn it on there will always be a risk of hackers, predators, scammers, impersonators, or just toxic people in general. And sadly, even if we aren't on the internet we still aren't safe from them since we live in a digital world. But like always there are amazing bright sides and this is why we continue to log on lol!

[@ameyawatchesyoutubeusingth940]

predators actually cant do much on roblox, they have to somehow lure your kid out of platform and then they do the disgusting stuff , i would say check their device at least once a week and check if they are off roblox or not

[@CyberFareedah]

And that's the exact problem with online games. But like you said, there are ways to protect them from the disgusting stuff.

[@gabeisanerd808]

Bruh it’s safe as long if you enable 2FA

[@CyberFareedah]

wish it was that simple! 😭

[@dwight1804]

in roblox adults can find ur location

[@CyberFareedah]

In your experience, what methods have people used to find out other people's locations?

[@ThatAverageMTBer]

Not sure how that would happen

[@tucsonemergencyresponse2685]

Really it could only happen if someone tells the person a address

[@karinaluna6131]

I'm a kid and by the way is it shutting down and it's not fair all of the hard work we done and us friends were playing it bro why are you taking things away from as!!!

[@DustySiren]

this is why people under the age of 13 shouldn't be allowed on youtube

[@Mittenzi]

@@DustySiren yeah lol

[@CyberFareedah]

Most people would expect me to disagree with you...but I don't. I believe shutting things down should be handled carefully. Sometimes to be honest its the best thing to do depending on the situation. But it needs to come after a lot of conversations and understanding. I always suggest coming up with an alternative game and having open and honest discussions. When a parent shuts things down out of the blue it can create a lot of distrust which doesn't keep kids safe online. If you'd like your parents to understand more about this let them know about my channel and ask them to reach out to me!

[@Placjgfffffc]

If you are wondering, roblox is mostly safe for kids. As a minor it's a pain to see some parents unaware and only believing the porple who are saying roblox idnt safe when they don't know anything about roblox.First of all curse words ir other incorporate words are sensord with #####. Plus the only way to use a link to leave roblox is by going yo a accounts profile and go on a link of wich there are only 5 platforms u can go to. If your kid doesn't know about E-Saftey then what parent are u letting ut kid on s online game. Makesure you teach your kid ehat not to do online. Also font active the parental controls dance they are useless. It disables chat eich ruins the whole point of roblox. Getting hacked isn't a problem either since you can't say your password in chat. While yes there are some (not many) innspropriate games on roblox. Also preditors are extremely rare and it's hard for them to bring u outside the platform. If your kid under 10-12 is playing I recommend u ask them what they're doing on roblox.

[@mansouralwthary4086]

I might not play it now maybe after a week I cna see if it’s ok to play or not!
