The dangers of Roblox: Children viewing harmful content while gaming

'Roblox is one we are paying particular attention to this year because of its popularity. We have seen that popularity grow and it really concerns us,' CyberSafe Kids chief executive Alex Cooney said.

The Government has been urged to regulate online gaming after a survey found children as young as eight years old have viewed disturbing material while playing popular games such as Roblox.

The study by Cybersafe Kids, a charity focused on child safety online, said the lack of focus on regulating online gaming was in stark contrast to the regular discussions about limiting social media access for children.
