    Roblox’s CEO has a message for parents.

    “If you’re not comfortable, don’t let your kids be on Roblox,” Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki told the BBC. “That sounds a little counter-intuitive, but I would always trust parents to make their own decisions.”

    Last year, Roblox responded to reports that its platform isn’t safe for kids with new restrictions requiring children to get parental permission to access certain chat features and games.
