Transcript

Tonight I want to talk to all the parents, grandparents, etcetera out there and I want to tell you about the danger on the app called Roblox. What danger would I be referring to? Well, as you can see right here beside me, if you see a character or anything on the Roblox character that they've created and it has those particular colors, you have a problem and your child has been drawn into a trap. They're gonna start out subtle, but one of the things you want to look for in the name of these characters is going to be the word M A P. Map. Now what map stands for is minor attracted person. Now, a lot of times they're going to have also in the description what type of child they're looking for, etcetera. And they will come off as really nice and be able to groom your child before you know it. So again, all parents or anybody out there that let your kids play the app Roblox, look for these particular colors and look for any person that they're playing with, or they accepted as a friend with the word map in their name, minor attracted person. You all take care and please monitor your kids and let's keep them safe.
