@drphil: He was 12 years old when a Roblox developer started grooming him. This is Schlep's story — and why it matters for every parent and kid online right now. Online predators don't look the way you think. They build trust over months. Schlep survived it and now he's exposing how it happens so it doesn't happen to your kids.

Haley Taylor 💕 :

Hi dr Phil. You’re the goat.

🩷Margaret💜 :

It is safe. You simply shut the chat off. My daughter has had it since age 9 and is 13 now and has never had an issue. I watch everything she does. This boils down to parenting

Kitty :

DR PHIL !!!!

logan_421_ :

And I get hate for telling parents that it’s not safe

Doll’s Creations :

I heard about this. I don’t let my kids play Roblox. There are predators everywhere and we as parents need to keep them protected.

Felicia- Girl Mom- Farm Wife :

Parents can say no.. my kids don’t play any video games and they’re thriving.

True should pay attention to everything while they small because once they get older and know everything you will not be able to tell them anything..
