Warning Online Activity with Elementary School Children

As a part of our on-going counseling program in the elementary school, we educate students on the potential dangers of engaging with others online.  We teach students to always ask parents before giving out any personal information, as well as the possible safety issues of playing online games with strangers.  Recently, we have learned about an online game called “Roblox.” This game targets very young children, and there have been several warnings issued from parents around the globe with concerns.  The warnings have centered around encouraging children to give personal information as well as interacting inappropriately with other strangers online who are also playing the game. Please educate yourself about this game and others, as young children should never interact with strangers online or give any personal information.  If you have any questions about this, please contact one of our counselors.
