The state's top cop, claims that a popular children's gaming and social media platform is, quote, a website of choice for child predators.

And he's suing that platform called Roblox.

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman says that since its launch in 2006, Roblox, with its 380 million monthly users, has knowingly permitted an online environment for child exploitation.

The suit alleges Roblox has created a hunting ground for child predators and knowingly failed to inform parents of the dangers of the platform.

Here is my message to parents.

Get your kids off Roblox.

Do it today.

I consider myself to be a very engaged parent.

Like many parents, I thought Roblox is a safe choice.

It presents itself as a bright, safe, creative playground.

But I came to realize later than I would like to admit that it actually is the wild west of the internet targeted at children.

Today it's Attorney general.

I'm proud to announce the Commonwealth of Kentucky has filed a lawsuit against Roblox for its knowing failure to protect children from the darkness that lurks on its platform.

Nearly two thirds of all U.S.

kids.

Two thirds of kids under the age of 13 play games on a Roblox platform.

We're holding this platform accountable for online sex rooms.

We're holding this platform accountable for sextortion, and we're holding this platform accountable for child sexual abuse material.

We also learned that after the gruesome assassination of Charlie Kirk, sickening so-called assassination simulators immediately popped up on Roblox.

They allow children as young as five to access bloody images of the shooting.

For years, individuals have called on Roblox to implement stronger safety features to mitigate this harm to protect our kids.

But the company's response has been anything but adequate.

Young kids are able to create accounts quickly, easily, without their parent's knowledge.

At the end of the day, we want Roblox to change their platform with age verification that is able to both, preclude younger kids from purporting to be older and predators purporting to be younger, to have to induce Roblox to actually have content filters that work and cannot be easily worked around, which is the case now, to encourage Roblox to provide additional parental notification, to provide disclaimers.

The only advice that I have today is to delete it.

The reality is, Roblox makes it nearly impossible to police as a parent.

It breaks my heart every time I hear of another tragedy linked to this platform.

If your kids are on Roblox, please don't assume that your child would not fall prey to this film, that Roblox.

Kentucky is the second state to file a lawsuit against Roblox.

Lose Louisiana rather filed a similar lawsuit in August.
