There have been reports of users thwarting the chat and exchanging inappropriate messages with young players, and games that feature inappropriate sexual content, violence, and adult language some kids have also been exploited by predators through the site. Registered users who are 13 and older can also choose to alter their settings to restrict in-game chatting and messaging capabilities. We also recommend setting a four-digit PIN code that's required to make any changes to a child's account (preventing kids from giving themselves broader access) and change the security settings to allow kids to access only a curated list of age-appropriate games. We recommend that parents disable the chat functionality as a protective measure when they can't supervise their kids' play. Posts and chats are filtered for inappropriate content and personal information references if a user is 12 or younger, and parents can restrict their child's chatting capabilities. We've rated it for age 13+ based on continuing challenges with problematic content, but it's potentially OK for kids younger than that if account restrictions are turned on and parents pay close attention to their kids' activities on the platform.

Roblox's free and open communication policy means that kids' interactions can vary widely, from legitimate player engagement to iffy involvement with possibly predatory users. Parents need to know that Roblox is a game-creation website where users design and upload their own games - and play games that other people have created - in a multiplayer environment.
