An independent Roblox developer has called on parents to monitor their children "24/7" while playing on the platform, warning that current safety measures are inadequate.

The call comes after claims of harmful content and violent games being created on Roblox. Critics argue it's a breeding ground for groomers and exposure to inappropriate material.

Roblox maintains its commitment to safety, citing advanced filters and age verification checks as part of their arsenal against harmful content and communications. However, the developer, speaking under an assumed name, has firsthand experience of issues he believes are being overlooked.

The debate over child safety on digital platforms continues, with countries like Russia and Turkey banning Roblox altogether due to concerns about young users' wellbeing. The UK government is also consulting on potential new measures to protect children online.
