Overview
- SEMA and the CPS‑AEP/AEP issued the Sept. 22 alert after a rise in minors presenting self-harm, anxiety, sleep disruption, mood changes and social withdrawal linked to Roblox chats.
- Clinicians describe chat interactions inciting self-harm, exposure to pornography, questioning sexual identity and requests for images involving child sexual abuse.
- The alert notes it is not yet clear whether the harmful exchanges occur inside Roblox’s official service or on external imitators popular with children.
- Families are urged to check children’s use of Roblox chats, discuss online-contact risks and consult pediatric care if concerns arise.
- Pediatricians are told to ask about Roblox use and trigger protocols—medical reports, social‑services referral, partes de lesiones and support with complaints—while suspected cases should be reported to police or Guardia Civil and to the AEPD with chat screenshots.
