Michael, known online as \u201cSchlep,\u201d isn\u2019t just another gamer.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a 22-year-old survivor who was groomed on Roblox as a child, an experience so traumatic it nearly cost him his life.<\/p>\n

After recovering, Michael dedicated himself to making sure no other child endured what he did.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Over the past year, he and his small team have helped law enforcement arrest six predators, some of them brazen enough to openly advertise themselves as \u201cminor-attracted persons\u201d on Roblox.<\/p>\n

His sting operations have caught developers, community members, and long-time players, some of whom admitted to watching child pornography involving infants. He documented these busts, reported offenders to Roblox, and even sent detailed evidence binders directly to the company\u2019s California headquarters.<\/p>\n

Yet, instead of working with him, Roblox slapped him with legal threats, permanently terminated every account he\u2019s ever had, and banned him from the platform for life.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t going to be your typical video. This is a call for help,\u201d Schelpp said in an emotional message to his subscribers on Youtube.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoblox is banning me for catching predators. They claim I\u2019m \u2018hurting their players.\u2019 Tell that to the kid who emailed me thanking me for getting the guy who groomed him arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s official stance? Vigilante predator-catching groups like Schlep\u2019s are a \u201cplatform risk\u201d and \u201charmful to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The charges from Roblox against Schelpp are staggering, and, according to him, completely false. Among the accusations: \u201cengaging in simulated child engagement conversations\u201d and \u201csharing personally identifiable information.\u201d<\/p>\n

In reality, Schelpp says the only information he shares is predator evidence with law enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Roblox did could potentially stop some predators from facing real-life consequences,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n

Even more disturbing, Schelpp claims Roblox ignored his reports on credible threats and dangerous grooming activity while games like \u201cPublic Bathroom Simulator\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cDollhouse Roleplay,\u201d<\/strong> where children reportedly engage in disturbing roleplay scenarios, remain active with millions of plays.<\/p>\n

When Schelpp raised concerns directly to Roblox CEO David Baszucki, including about a predator who was later arrested for child exploitation, he was blocked.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoblox still allows a community of lollycons and MAPs [Minor-Attracted Persons] to exist on their platform,\u201d he said. \u201cYet they take a firmer stance against me than they do against the predators we\u2019ve had arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

His ban also wiped out his popular \u201cMalibumer\u201d channel, a family-friendly Roblox theme park series that provided his main source of income.<\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/p>\n

\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n

Roblox, the massively popular online gaming platform, is now home to more than 85 million daily active users worldwide<\/a>,\u00a0and the majority of them are children.<\/p>\n

Company data shows that nearly 60% of Roblox players<\/a> are under the age of 16, with a huge portion in the preteen range.<\/p>\n

In fact, about 42% of daily users are 12 or younger,\u00a0split evenly between kids under 9 years old (21%) and those aged 9 to 12 (21%). Another 16% are teenagers aged 13 to 16.<\/p>\n

In the United States alone, Roblox reaches over half of all children under age 16 every month, cementing its position as one of the most influential and potentially risky digital playgrounds in the world.<\/p>\n

Schleb, created by Michael and backed by 6 advocacy-minded individuals, is on a mission to keep minors safe. Their work has already led to 6 arrests of child predators and was even spotlighted by a local California news outlet after they tipped off police about a 21-year-old\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/iq8j4u4sXW<\/a><\/p>\n

But it gets even more shocking.<\/p>\n

After recovering, Michael chose to stay on the platform because he had made genuine friends. But after years of playing, he discovered that child predators were still rampant on Roblox. So, he took matters into his own hands \u2014 launching a personal\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/c6ge749lIE<\/a><\/p>\n

Schlep has regularly reported child predators to Roblox \u2014 individuals actively grooming minors on the platform.
