"My first message would be, if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox. That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions," the company's director noted.

Well that's been my policy so far. Since there are literally no controls whatsoever over the content in Roblox, it looks like my kid will be old enough to play Halo before he's old enough to play Roblox.

I have no problem with this, there are a lot of games out there.

Seconded. My kids never have touched this game and they never will.

For my kid it’s too late, I allowed her to play without documenting myself enough. Luckily it offers good parental controls, and I take that as an opportunity to educate her about what’s going on.

There's a whole lot of games kids should never been able to play. Roblox enables more predators than Omegle.
