Chris Hansen, known for his work on To Catch a Predator, is reportedly working on a documentary about Roblox, a gaming platform primarily aimed at children. This platform has faced scrutiny as a potential hunting ground for predators, raising alarm among various watchdog groups.
In recent reports, Roblox has been criticized for its safety, with troubling incidents leading to legal actions, including one involving a girl abducted by a man she met in the game. Hansen has reached out to a YouTuber named Schlep, who previously exposed predatory behavior on the platform, and is eager to explore the issues surrounding child safety on Roblox.
Many advocate for greater accountability from Roblox, especially given its massive user base, which includes millions of young players and a small number of moderators. Critics highlight the need for stricter measures to ensure children can play safely on the platform.
