Gaming Isn’t Just Fun Anymore—It’s a Playground for Criminals

Most parents love that their child enjoys video games—it keeps them entertained, right? But what if I told you that millions of predators, scammers, and cybercriminals are lurking in those same games—waiting for a chance to interact with your child?

📌 Scary Facts:

🔹 More than 75% of children have been contacted by strangers in online games.
🔹 Over 30% of kids have received inappropriate messages while gaming.
🔹 Voice chat and DMs in games like Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft are unmonitored—making them easy hunting grounds for predators.
🔹 Scammers trick kids into sharing personal details, leading to hacked accounts and even identity theft.

You wouldn’t let your child talk to a masked stranger in real life—so why allow them to do it online?
