The County of Los Angeles filed suit today against social media gaming platform Roblox alleging that the platform failed to protect children from predatory behavior. The lawsuit alleges that while Roblox markets itself as a safe digital space for creativity, it is in reality an unsafe online environment that has become a breeding ground for predators.

Modern problems require modern solutions, and children are experts at getting around parental blocks.

Roblox isn't just knowingly letting child predators use a platform for children, they're banning people who are reporting child predators.

It's like saying that parents shouldn't call the cops if the management of Chuck-e-chrese lets pedophiles just hang out there.

You can block websites through your wireless router and the device itself it’s really not that difficult. Kids won’t find out your network admin password if you make it complicated and don’t give it to them. Parents have the tools but won’t put in the effort to use them.

How about don’t take your kids to chuck e cheese if you know pedos hang out there it’s really that simple.
