‘To Catch a Predator’ host Chris Hansen warns Roblox dangers far worse than past online chatrooms

Published

Investigative journalist Chris Hansen warns parents about Roblox, comparing it to an amusement park where “kids are flying off” the rides.

The “To Catch a Predator” host sat down for the “Planet Tyrus” podcast to explain his findings and what he claims is a surge of grooming on the site. Hansen noted that the platform’s visual style, which features cartoon, customizable avatars, often masks the underlying dangers.

“It was shocking to me that you have this kids’ game with characters that appear to be so innocent, like Lego characters, but I guess it just goes to show that predators will go wherever the children are,” Hansen said.

Roblox is a gaming giant used by millions of children and teenagers. The company is facing a wave of legal challenges, including a lawsuit involving more than 140 people who argue the game’s design, such as open chat and private spaces, aided predators.

Several state attorneys general have also launched lawsuits against the company, accusing it of prioritizing profits over user safety.

Hansen investigated the platform for his streaming network, digging into allegations of child exploitation. He said today’s digital landscape is far more dangerous for children than early internet chatrooms.

“People ask, ‘Is the problem worse today than it was 22 years ago?’ The answer is yes, it’s way worse because there are so many different platforms upon which adults can approach children,” Hansen said.

A spokesperson for Roblox told Fox News Digital that “safety is at the core of everything we do,” and noted they have a “multi-layered defense system” blending technology and strict policy enforcement to keep young people safe.

“We have always completely blocked the sharing of images or videos in chat and use rigorous filters designed to prevent the exchange of personal information,” the company added.

However, Hansen called for greater accountability from the game developers meant to protect “vulnerable children.”

“If kids are flying off a ride at an amusement park left and right, they have a responsibility to make that ride safer, so kids aren’t flying off the ride. Roblox has a similar responsibility,” he said.

Roblox has countered safety concerns, saying it has instituted safeguards such as content moderation, parental controls and age verification. It said that since January, it has required users to complete age checks to chat on the platform, limiting interaction to users of a similar age or people they already know. 

“We take swift action against anyone found to violate our community standards and collaborate closely with law enforcement to hold bad actors accountable. While no system can be perfect, we will never stop innovating around safety and working with trusted partners to make Roblox better and safer.”

Trump Demands Fox News To Take ‘Loser’ Host Off The Air

President Donald Trump, while leading the nation through critical challenges including tensions with Iran, took time on Monday night (April 6) to call out two Fox News personalities who have repeatedly pushed unfair narratives against him and his America First agenda: liberal commentator Jessica Tarlov and Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream.
In a powerful Truth Social post, President Trump demanded accountability at Fox, writing:

“For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst “personalities” on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Tarlov, a vocal liberal strategist who regularly attacks the Trump administration on Fox News’ The Five, has long frustrated supporters of the President with her one-sided commentary. Last month, President Trump called into The Five during her absence and made his position crystal clear:

“I think your show would be better without her, but who am I to say that? I think it would be a lot better.”
Tarlov responded on X with a snarky jab, claiming:

“Was so bummed to miss the show today! But I definitely would’ve said he’s even inflating his numbers to 42%!”
President Trump also corrected Shannon Bream directly in the same post, setting the record straight on key legislation and demanding fairer hosting:

“Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference!
Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems!”

President Trump is right to demand better from Fox News. For too long, certain voices on the network have platformed weak Democrat talking points without pushback, undermining the strong leadership and historic accomplishments of the Trump administration—like the record-breaking economy, secure borders, and tough negotiations with China that put America first.

While some on social media rushed to defend Tarlov and criticize the President—with comments like “[Tarlov] lives rent free in his head!” or calling him a “baby”—true patriots understand what’s really happening. President Trump is fighting for the American people every day, and he has every right to call out media figures who distort the truth, spread lies about his record, and fail to deliver balanced journalism.

This isn’t about “controlling” the media—it’s about demanding honesty. The mainstream media’s trust is at historic lows for good reason: endless fake news, biased coverage, and attacks on a President who delivered results like no one else. As White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson correctly noted, these criticisms have “nothing to do with gender” and everything to do with the fact that “the President’s and the public’s trust in the media is at all time lows.”

President Trump has always been a fighter who tells it like it is. Whether battling radical Democrats, deep state bureaucrats, or unfair media personalities, he continues to put America First—and the American people love him for it. Weak voices and liberal hacks on supposedly conservative networks won’t stop the Trump movement. The Save America agenda is winning, and no amount of sniping from the sidelines will change that.
