Has any one monitored their kids on Roblox....?
Every day, playing "adopt me" my 8yo, seems to have much older people asking very inappropriate questions. Like personal information... Age, location, gender, and other things like touching and so on. It's really got me rethinking weather or not to allow this app. Right now, I'm educating on ignoring and blocking these people. Tell me everytime it happens, even turning it off for a while.
Just want to let parents know, that this may not be a safe place for kids who don't feel confident enough to let you know these things may be happening to them. Kids may be taken advantage of.

Is there a way to turn off messaging?
You can turn off the messaging

Thank you
Make sure they’re only friends with people they know in real life. So that only those people message them. My kid says also don’t play adopt me it gets hacked a lot. I don’t know what that means exactly but it seems to be bad news/ out of control.
But thanks for letting me know to check.
Not just friends can contact you.... Any one can. It's a bad set up
Ok thanks
Roblox wasn't actually made or targeted for young users, it's a 3d user generated platform where people (including a lot of professionals) go to create. Like any platform like this, you will have other users trying to talk to you, and like every platform, there will be predators. The Internet isn't a safe place for children, hence why we as parents should monitor and understand what our children are doing and not assume the platform our children are on are a safe space just because it looks like it's targeted at kids
That would scare the crap out of me, I wouldn't allow my child to use it at all.
