Protect Your Child on Roblox: The Hidden Dangers Unveiled

26 February 2024

Protecting Our Kids Online: Unveiling the Dangers of Ro-Meet on Roblox. Webinar available from Safe on Socials on March 28th to learn how to Safeguard Children in the Digital World. 

The topic of Roblox in the classroom and at home continues and so Safe on Social are bringing attention  to this popular and concerning game. 

Nearly one-third of the students Safe on Social have spoken to have been asked to be someone's boyfriend or girlfriend on Roblox! As the popularity of Roblox skyrockets, it's crucial to pause and consider the darker side of this virtual playground. 

Safe on Social is stepping up to reveal the truths behind Roblox—a platform that offers boundless fun but also presents very real dangers lurking beneath its surface. 

There is a feature on Roblox we wanted to bring to your attention. Ro-Meet on Roblox isn't just a game; it's a Pandora's box of danger, masquerading as a 'friendly' chat room. 

Despite Roblox's claims to clamp down on stranger interaction, especially for those under 13, Ro-Meet is skirting around these controls, leaving kids wide open to potential harm. RoZoom is also a feature similar to Zoom where strangers can chat to children. Despite Roblox's assurances of making it "extremely difficult" for strangers to contact kids, Ro-Meet is freely available in an 'All Ages' section, raising significant concerns about our children's safety online.

What can parents do?

Here are some tips from Safe on Social: 

  • Have honest conversations with your kids about the real dangers of talking to strangers and oversharing online. Educate them about the risks they may encounter on Roblox. 
  • Each your children to question every interaction and piece of content they encounter online. Empower them to make informed decisions. 
  • Monitor what your children are playing, who they're chatting with, and where they're spending their time on Roblox. 
  • Activate every safety feature available on Roblox to enhance your child's online safety. For parents wanting more support on Roblox specifically please check out their website and their upcoming webinar on Roblox here.
