Roblox & Schlep - my son just told me about this

 Yes, I have heard about the situation involving Roblox and a YouTuber named "Schlep." It's a pretty big topic of discussion right now.

Schlep is a YouTuber who focused on conducting sting operations to identify and expose alleged predators on the Roblox platform. He claimed to have collaborated with law enforcement, and he has said that his efforts led to several arrests.

On August 9, 2025, Roblox banned his account. The company's position is that these types of "vigilante" activities violate their terms of service and can create an unsafe environment. They've stated that they prefer users to report inappropriate behavior through official channels.

This has created a lot of controversy, with many people criticizing Roblox for what they see as a failure to protect children on the platform and for taking action against someone who was trying to help. On the other hand, Roblox maintains that their actions were necessary to ensure user safety and that they are working with law enforcement to address the issue.

It sounds like a very concerning topic, especially as a parent of young kids like Seth, Evan, and Ava, who might be interested in platforms like Roblox. It highlights the ongoing challenges of online safety for children.
