• Should parents monitor their children when playing Roblox games?

  The games are built to be kids games, but a responsible parent should have some control over his or her child’s gameplay. Sign your child up yourself and enter his or her correct age so that he or she is unable to access games for older children. Drop in on your child occasionally to be sure your child is not bullying others or being contacted by predators since this gaming network is a social media platform similar to Facebook, ergo it contains similar risks.
