The Roblox ones are a bit of a minefield too.

I age restrict, block chat with everyone and monitor friend requests weekly. They are not allowed to play in their rooms.

Education is the biggest thing. They come to me if someone asks to be their friend. They don’t accept gifts from strangers and I explain that it’s the same as real world.

It’s a constant process that is always changing. Same as any other parenting job I suppose





Roblox is hostile to these controls - best not to even enter the ecosystem.

Ideally (in the broad sense, meaning not realistic) is to not enter any “ecosystem”.

But yeah… easier said than done.


It is strange to deny children this reality and then expect them to participate in capitalism.
