  • Friend requests. Access the settings of your child’s account to limit or disable friend requests and online chat capabilities.

  • Stay on the platform. Tell your child to refuse requests to take chats offline or to another platform. Predators will do this to avoid Roblox’s restrictions about sharing images.

  • Education. Teach children about online safety, including not sharing personal information and avoiding suspicious links, and make sure they are comfortable sharing their online experiences with you.

  • Play with them. What’s more fun than beating your parents in your favorite game? Spending some quality time with them makes it fun to keep an eye on them and the games they enjoy.

  • Information. Stay on top of information about Roblox’s updates, features, and changes.

  • Protect the device. Make sure they are playing on a device that is fully up-to-date and actively protected.
