Summary

On this week’s Have a Seat with Chris Hansen, victim-turned advocate and YouTuber “Schlep” joins Chris to update him and viewers on his continued fight for increased security measures on the Roblox platform. Schlep reveals that he’s learned of more predators on the gaming platform, and that more victims have come forward to report criminal activity. The two also dive into Attorney Generals that are filing lawsuits against Roblox for crimes against children, that a high-ranking Roblox executive reached out to Schlep behind his attorney’s backs, and reveal and question why the CEO of Roblox blocked Schlep on X/Twitter! Roblox, the on-line virtual universe played by millions around the world, has been at the center of criticism of what some consider their lax security measures surrounding potential child predators in and off the game. Both Hansen and Schlep are at the forefront of raising awareness of the widely-popular game that could have your children vulnerable to predators. If you are one of the millions of people that have been following this story, it’s an episode of Have a Seat with Chris Hansen you won’t want to miss.

0:52.4	characters in our investigation is a young man named Michael Schlep,
0:56.9	and you probably know his story pretty well by now. He's got an incredible following on social
