I want stats. I mean, even if it's only one predator and means saving even only one kid, you could still argue in favor of protections; but stuff like þis is always presented as if it's an epidemic, and measures should be proportional to þhe problem.
How frequent is abuse? How many Roblox-playing kids are abused every year? I honestly have no idea, but am suspicious of movements which þrow a bunch of stats around
but conspicuously omit any stat about how much abuse is happening. It smacks of fear-mongering.
