Yes but with super restrictions with the biggest one being she can't under any circumstances use the chat. I'm pretty sure I disabled it but yeah, she can't communicate with anyone
That's an ass whoopin and a half right there. Gave out the addy online??? My kids knew better than to do that dumb shit, and all 4 of them grew up with a PC of their own. You gotta establish ground rules about that kinda shit before you let 'em loose online and monitor their shit heavy. Can't be lazy about it either 'cause you could easily find yourself in a similar situation, but worse.
The lawsuit accuses the company of intentionally or recklessly designing a platform that allows millions of users to easily create accounts with fake birthdays.

SAN MATEO, California (Gray News) – A family in California is suing Roblox and Discord after they say the online platforms failed to protect their 10-year-old daughter from being abducted by a predator.
The lawsuit was filed by law firm Anapol Weiss last week.
According to a news release, this is the seventh such lawsuit brought by the law firm against Roblox, which the firm says underscores “a pattern of systemic negligence and failure to protect child users.”
According to the lawsuit, 27-year-old Matthew Macatuno Naval posed as a peer to contact the girl through Roblox. Then, the conversation moved to Discord, where the child was allegedly “groomed and manipulated” into sharing her home address.
The lawsuit says that on April 13, Naval abducted the girl from her home in Taft, California, about two hours north of Los Angeles. She was eventually found hundreds of miles away in his vehicle in Elk Grove, after a frantic, multi-agency search, according to the suit.
My kids used to use it when they were little especially my oldest son. They haven’t been on there since maybe early middle school. I always told them just to interact with kids they knew cuz they would hop on with their cousins and friends from school and play together. Man, there’s some sick fucks out here.
My lil girl plays it and we had a long convo about the crazy stuff. But she knows not give out info. I hate roblox im like you @AP3.0 I don't see the appeal and she will build a house and show me everything in it. I'm like this is like Sims. I'll be glad when she grows out of it
My daughter is a heavy user. So much that I bought her a couple shares for her birthday when she was in 5th grade. She's in 10th now. We just talked about if she wanted to keep her shares in light of Roblox possibly protecting predators. She thinks the issue is over blown. I sort of agree. Roblox shouldn't be responsible for you monitoring your children.
I've been telling my daughter since she was in elementary about predators, knowing she plays games online. I tell her to be just as careful making friends at school. You don't know what you don't know until suddenly you're on the hoe stroll in Vegas. You would be surprised how may prostitutes are kidnapped teenagers just a little too far from home, and kept high/intoxicated.
My son plays this bullshit religiously. Game looks ass to me and I don’t get the point but whatever. His friend list is only people he knows. I disabled his chat function so he can’t chat with non friends
