I’ve publicly called Roblox a “pedophile hellscape.” Then the CEO invited me to meet.
Thirty minutes. One room. No media. No spin.
In this episode, I take you inside the meeting with David Baszucki, co-founder and CEO of Roblox — and share exactly what was said, what got uncomfortable, and why I left unconvinced that kids are truly safe.
If your child plays Roblox, you need to hear this.
KEY POINTS
- Why Roblox says it’s designed for the “absentee parent”
- The moment the temperature shifted in the room
- Ongoing lawsuits and serious safety concerns
- Why engagement and growth may still outrank child safety
- The uncomfortable truth about parental responsibility
- Five clear steps every parent should take today
QUOTE OF THE EPISODE
“I don’t care what people say. I care what people do. And right now, you’re not protecting our kids.”

ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS
- Talk daily – Ask what they’re seeing, who they’re chatting to, and whether anything felt weird or unsafe.
- Turn on parental controls – They’re imperfect, but better than nothing. Check them regularly.
- Play with your child – Learn the platform. See what they see.
- Set clear boundaries – No devices in bedrooms. No screens during family time.
- Trust your gut – You don’t need permission to say no. How you say it matters.
