“James” talked about how he was requested for sexual pictures on Roblox when he was approached.
James, age eight, is sitting in his bedroom, immersed in “the ultimate virtual universe”—a game designed specifically for kids—on Roblox.
The question, “Do you want to be friends?” appears.
A few weeks later, James will receive a request for private, suggestive pictures of himself from this person.
James, who did not want to use his own name, stated, “I was young and I thought these people were my friends.”
Everything was very innocent at first, but then someone suggested using the mobile chat software Kik to carry on the conversation.
“They stated that they wanted to see my naked body and asked for sexual images, trying to make it seem natural and acceptable.
